Ir(piq)2(acac), efficient phosphorescent red emitter dopant material in PhOLED devices
High-purity (>99.0%) and available online for priority dispatch
Bis(1-phenylisoquinoline)(acetylacetonate)iridium(III), Ir(piq)2(acac), is widely used as an efficient phosphorescent red emitter dopant material in PhOLED devices. It was reported that the piq ligand can partially suppress the triplet-triplet annihilation and show short phosphorescent lifetime [2].
