Abstract

The present communication reports the development of external magnetic field (EMF)-driven, ambidextrous, circularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL) devices, by embedding racemic mixtures of phosphorescent organoiridium(III) emitters in the active emitting layer. Homoleptic tris-cyclometalated Ir(III)(ppy) 3 and heteroleptic bis-cyclometalated Ir(III)(ppy) 2 (acac) (ppy: 2-phenylpyridinate, acac: acetylacetonate) were used as the representative organoiridium(III) compounds. Chiroptical inversion of CPEL was influenced by the ligand environment in the Ir(III) complexes (homoleptic or heteroleptic), and the Faraday geometry.
