Abstract: A phosphorescent OLED uses a phosphorescent dopant in the emissive layer, the dopant includes a metal complex containing a plurality of moieties linking to a transition metal ion. One or more of the moieties contain a ligand with a C—SP3 carbon center. The transition metal ion can be an iridium ion. The C—SP3 carbon is linked to a chalcogen atom in an ion form, a nitrogen-containing heterocylic ring and two functional groups, wherein each of the functional groups is selected from aryl, alkyl and heteroaryl.
