(3-Allyloxypicolinato-[kappa]2N,O2)bis[3,5-difluoro-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl-[kappa]2C1,N]iridium(III)

Y.-L. Zhao and J. Meng

Abstract top

The title complex, [Ir(C11H6F2N)2(C9H8NO3)], consists of one IrIII ion, two C,N-bidentate 3,5-difluoro-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl (F2ppy) ligands and one N,O-bidentate 3-allyloxypicolinate (pic-3-Oall) ligand. The IrIII ion is hexacoordinated by two C atoms and two N atoms from the F2ppy ligands and one N atom and one carboxylate O atom from the pic-3-Oall ligand, displaying a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C-H...F and C-H...O hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.

Comment top

Since Forrest and co-workers (Baldo et al., 1998) successfully utilized the phosphorescent material PtOEP to fabricate light-emitting devices, many heavy-metal complexes have been extensively investigated in highly efficient electrophosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (Baldo et al., 2000; Liang et al., 2006; Thompson, 2007). Among the complexes, the cyclometalated iridium complexes are the most valuable emitting materials due to the results in higher efficiency and brightness (Liang et al., 2006; Tsuboyama et al., 2003). Recently, we synthesized a mixed-ligand iridium complex, [Ir(F2ppy)2(pic-3-Oall)] (F2ppy = 3,5-difluoro-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl; pic-3-Oall = 3-allyloxypicolinate), which exhibits bright blue light.

The molecular structure of the title complex is shown in Fig. 1. The mononuclear iridium(III) complex has an approximately octahedral coordination geometry. The IrIII ion is hexa-coordinated by two C atoms and two N atoms from two C,N-bidentate F2ppy ligands, which exhibit cis-C,C and trans-N,N chelate dispositions, and one N atom and one carboxylate O atom from one N,O-bidentate pic-3-Oall ligand. All the bond lengths and angles of the molecule are within normal ranges (Allen et al., 1987). For the F2ppy ligands, the Ir—C bonds [1.983 (4) and 2.002 (4) Å] are shorter than the Ir—N bonds [2.045 (4) and 2.051 (4) Å] (Table 1). Due to steric interactions, the difluorophenyl groups are not coplanar with the pyridine groups; the dihedral angles between the substituted phenyl rings and pyridines are 7.60 (1) and 6.05 (3)°, respectively. For the pic-3-Oall ligand, the bond lengths of Ir—N and Ir—O are 2.132 (3) and 2.135 (3) Å, respectively. In the crystal structure, the complex molecules are connected by weak intermolecular C—H···F and C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2 and Fig. 2), forming a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.

Experimental top

The title complex was prepared as following. First, a cyclometalated IrIII µ-chlorobridged dimer, [(C11H6F2N)2Ir(µ-Cl)]2, was synthesized by reacting IrCl3.nH2O (3.0 mmol) and 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine (7.5 mmol). Then, the dimer (0.2 mmol) was reacted with 3-hydroxypicolinic acid (0.44 mmol) in 2-methoxyethanol (25 ml), affording bis[2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine](3-hydroxypicolinate)iridium(III), which (0.2 mmol) was reacted with 3-bromopropene (0.24 mmol) in the present of anhydrous K2CO3 (1 mmol) to give the title complex. Yellow plate single crystals of the complex were obtained by slow evaporation of the chloroform solution at room temperature.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.99 Å for methylene and 0.95 Å for other H atoms and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The highest residual electron density was found 0.05 Å from Ir1 and the deepest hole 1.57 Å from C7.
