Abstract

A series of group III metal chelates have been synthesized and characterized for the versatile application of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). These metal chelates are based on 4-hydroxy-1, 5-naphthyridine derivates as chelating ligands, and they are the blue version analogues of well-known green fluorophore Alq3 (tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum). These chelating ligands and their metal chelates were easily prepared with an ...
