Abstract

Three novel orange emission supramolecular phosphorescent polymers (SPPs) with cationic iridium complex have been developed for polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) through efficient self-assembly. The supramolecular assembly process was monitored by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and viscosity measurement. These SPPs give orange phosphorescence with a peak at about 595 nm and display good thermal properties with a glass-transition temperature (Tg) about 90 °C. The single-emissive-layer PLEDs with charged SPPs exhibited the highest device efficiency of 2.81 cd A−1 with the Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage coordinates of (0.58, 0.40). The present work reported the charged SPPs self-assembled by the cationic iridium complex for the first time and provided a new guide to develop orange emitters for solution-processable optoelectronic devices.
