Abstract: Compounds that act as capture agents to sequester unsaturated metal complexes are provided. In particular, the compounds may be host materials, dopant materials, or co-dopant materials containing functional groups, such as an isocyanide or a phosphine group, which are suitable for trapping an unsaturated coordination complex. These compounds may be used in organic light emitting devices, particularly blue devices, to provide improved device lifetime.
