Polycyclo Ring System Having The Six-membered Hetero Ring As One Of The Cyclos Patents (Class 546/10)
  • Publication number: 20090209760
    Abstract: Organic light emitting devices are described wherein the emissive layer comprises a host material containing an emissive molecule, which molecule is adapted to luminesce when a voltage is applied across the heterostructure, and the emissive molecule is selected from the group of phosphorescent organometallic complexes, including cyclometallated platinum, iridium and osmium complexes. The organic light emitting devices optionally contain an exciton blocking layer. Furthermore, improved electroluminescent efficiency in organic light emitting devices is obtained with an emitter layer comprising organometallic complexes of transition metals of formula L2MX, wherein L and X are distinct bidentate ligands. Compounds of this formula can be synthesized more facilely than in previous approaches and synthetic options allow insertion of fluorescent molecules into a phosphorescent complex, ligands to fine tune the color of emission, and ligands to trap carriers.

  • Patent number: 7566783
    Abstract: A new approach is described to making luminophores which display long emission wavelengths, long decay times, and high quantum yields. These luminophores are covalently linked or otherwise closely associated pairs with a long lifetime resonance energy transfer (RET) donor e.g., a ruthenium (Ru) metal-ligand complex, and a long wavelength acceptor, e.g., Texas Red. The donor and acceptor can be covalently linked by, e.g., poly-proline spacers. The long lifetime donor results in a long lived component in the acceptor decay which is due to RET. The quantum yield of the luminophores approaches that of the higher quantum yield acceptor, rather than the lower quantum yield typical of metal-ligand complexes. The emission maxima and decay time of such tandem luminophores can be readily adjusted by selection of the donor, acceptor and distance between them. Luminophores with these useful spectral properties can also be donor-acceptor pairs brought into close proximity by some biochemical association reaction.

  • Patent number: 7563897
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel fluorescent chemosensor including a naphthalene diimide-Zn(II) complex, which can efficiently recognize pyrophosphate (PPi) at pH 7.4. The fluorescent chemosensor exhibits a new kind of excimer fluorescence, which is selective for PPi in 100% aqueous solution. Further, since the naphthalene diimide-Zn(II) complex of the present invention does not couple with inorganic phosphate (Pi) or adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and has high selectivity for PPi, it can be usefully used to detect pyrophosphate (PPi), which serves to transfer signals and store energy in living organisms.

  • Patent number: 7456284
    Abstract: The present application discloses methods for producing a hexadentate bimetallic complex. A method may comprise contacting an acyliminepyridine compound, a metal salt, and an amine to form a mixture; and recovering the hexadentate bimetallic complex from the mixture. A method may also comprise forming at least one imine bond in the presence of a metal salt, metal complex, or combinations thereof. The metal salt may be iron, cobalt, nickel, chromium, vanadium or mixtures thereof. The acyliminepyridine compound may be a mono-acyliminepyridine in instances where the amine is a diamine. In such instances, the mono-acyliminepyridine compound to diamine molar ratio may be in the range of about 2:1; and the mono-acyliminepyridine compound to metal salt molar ratio may be in the range of about 1:1. Methods for preparing an acyliminepyridine compound for use in preparation of a hexadentate bimetallic complex are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20080287621
    Abstract: Novel iron and cobalt complexes of certain novel tricyclic ligands containing a “pyridine” ring and substituted with two imino groups are polymerization and/or oligomerization catalysts for olefins, especially ethylene. Depending on the exact structure of the ligand, and polymerization process conditions, products ranging from ?-olefins to high polymers may be produced. The polymers, especially polyethylenes, are useful for films and as molding resins.

  • Publication number: 20080280163
    Abstract: Organometallic compounds comprising an emissive core and one or more poly-phenylene branches linked to the emissive core. Host moieties are provided as pendant groups on the branches. In some cases, the poly-phenylene chain is linked in meta configuration to reduce ?-conjugation in the chain. Suitable host moieties for use in the organometallic compound include those that contain carbazole or triphenylene structures. The quantity and types of host moieties on the organometallic compound may be varied to tune the molecular weight ratio of the host moieties relative to the emissive core. In some cases, the organometallic compound is sufficiently soluble in organic solvents to permit solution processing. Also provided are organic electronic devices comprising organometallic compounds of the present invention and methods for making an organic electronic device using organometallic compounds of the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20080249308
    Abstract: The invention relates to a new class of ruthenium (II) complexes containing as ligands 2-(aminomethyl)pyridines and phosphines, proven to be extremely active catalysts in the reduction of ketones to alcohols via hydrogen transfer. By using 2-propanol as the hydrogen source with the ruthenium complexes, high yields of the corresponding alcohol can be rapidly obtained starting from linear and cyclic alkyl aryl, dialkyl and diaryl ketones. The conversion of ketones to alcohols can reach 100% if operating in a gaseous hydrogen atmosphere (2-3 atm). Where the phosphines used are optically active, starting from prochiral ketone compounds various types of optically active alcohols can be produced, being important intermediates in the pharmaceutical industry, in the agrochemical industry and for fine chemicals generally.
