  • Patent number: 11958870
    Abstract: An asymmetric tetradentate metal complex of a N{circumflex over (?)}C{circumflex over (?)}C{circumflex over (?)}N comprising tetradentate ligand has a metal connected to binding sites which are connected to each other via three or four covalent bonds that can be either single or double bonds with bridging linkers reside between C{circumflex over (?)}C and C{circumflex over (?)}N moieties. These linkers result in three-dimension metal complexes with distorted square planar geometries. The four donor atoms coordinate to a metal center. Upon metal binding a 5-6-6 membered metallocycle is formed upon chelation including a first nitrogen donor bond, a first metal-carbon bond, a second metal-carbon bond, and a second nitrogen donor bond. The light emission from these metal complexes can be tuned by the ligand structure over the entire visible spectrum.

  • Publication number: 20240023360
    Abstract: Disclosed are stable, high-efficiency voltage-dependent color-tunable organic light-emitting diodes with a single emitter, such as tetradentate platinum (II) complex, having long operational lifetime. High-performance voltage-dependent color-tunable OLEDs with a single Pt [O{circumflex over (?)}N{circumflex over (?)}C{circumflex over (?)}N] emitter are fabricated. The emission color can be tuned from warm white to nature white or from orange to yellowish green upon the emitter used. Long-term operational stability and continuously variable color enable these color-tunable OLEDs to find applications in smart wearable devices.
