Iridium(III) complexes are unparalleled in their optoelectronic properties. They are brightly emissive and, depending on the nature of the ligands, emission can span the visible spectrum. Their emission lifetimes are relatively short which makes them ideal for lighting and display applications and the complexes are robust with excellent thermal and chemical stability. As a result of these properties, Ir(III) complexes have attracted growing interest in recent years and Iridium is the metal of choice for many optoelectronic applications
Iridium(III) in Optoelectronic and Photonics Applications provides a comprehensive overview of iridium(III) complexes and their wide-ranging applications. Each chapter focuses on a different application and the role that iridium(III) complexes play, detailing how the ligand structures can be modified in order to address different design requirements. Topics covered include: solid state lighting (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes and Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells), bioimaging, analyte detection, solar fuels, solar cells, photoredox catalysis, electrochemiluminescence, iridium complexes in polymers, and iridium complexes in ordered materials.
This book is a valuable reference work for academics, research scientists and graduate students across chemistry, physics and materials science, in particular those working in the areas of organometallic chemistry, optoelectronic materials, photonics, solar fuels, solid-state lighting, analyte detection, polymers, catalysis and bioimaging.
