Comment top

In recent decades, the long-lived excited-state and highly efficient solid-state emissions of d⁶ and d⁸ metal complexes have made them of interest as potential components in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) (Chen et al., 2007). Particularly, phosphorescent materials like Ir³⁺ complexes can significantly improve electroluminescent performance because both singlet and triplet excitons can be harvested for light emission, and usually are used as very promising phosphor dyes in OLEDs (Park et al., 2006). Recently, blue organic phosphor such as F₂Irpic (F = 4,6-difluorophenylpyridinato-N,C-2' and pic = picolinate) (I) as a successful cyclometalated Ir³⁺ complex which has been typically doped into host matrices such as tetra-aryl silanes and short conjugation length carbazole derivatives in OLEDs, showing a good quantum efficiency (Cai et al., 2008). In this contribution, we synthesized and investigated crystal structure of F₂Irpic.

As shown in Fig. 1, each Ir³⁺ cation is in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, consisting of two chelating cyclometalated F ligands with cis-C—C and trans-N—N dispositions and one pic ligand. The Ir—O distance being 2.152 Å and Ir—C and Ir—N lengths are in the range of 1.993–1.997 Å and 2.041–2.138 Å, respectively.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F² against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F², conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F². The threshold expression of F² > σ(F²) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F² are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
