Chemical Structure

chemical structure of FIrpic
Chemical Structure of Bis[2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato- C2,N](picolinato)iridium(III) (FIrpic); CAS No. 376367-93-0; Chemical Formula C28H16F4IrN3O.

 

Applications

Bis[2-(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-C2,N](picolinato)iridium, abbreviated as FIrPic, F2IrPic or Ir(difppy)2(pic), is one of the most investigated bis-cyclometallated iridium complexes in particular in the context of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). This is because of its attractive sky-blue emission, high emission efficiency, and suitable energy levels as a phosphorescent dopant material.
