Abstract: Organo-metallic complexes for opto-electronic and sensory devices and their use in such devices are provided. The organo-metallic complex (triplet emitter) consists of a metal center and chelate ligands. At least one of chelate ligands comprises an aromatic or fused aromatic ring(s). Each ligand is covalently substituted with at least one, preferably two charge transport groups (ctg). The metal center can be coordinated by a spectator ligand. Presence of two ctgs at each ligand is advantageous for applications in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Charge transport units facilitate hole and/or electron transport to the molecular center and allow for efficient exciton formation directly on the complex. Presence of ctgs on each ligand provides a good shielding with respect to interactions with the environment. Emission quenching is strongly reduced and materials with high emission quantum yields are obtained.
