Abstract
In this report, a solution-processable cohost system incorporating N,N'-di(naphtalene-1-yl)-N,N'-diphenylbenzidine (NPB) and Csp3-annulated phenylquinoline derivatives, including spiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoline-11,8'-indolo[3,2,1-de]acridine] (IAIQ), 10-phenyl-10H-spiro[acridine-9,11'-indeno[1,2-b]quinoline] (PAIQ) and 3,3'-(11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoline-11,11-diyl)bis(N-phenyl-N-(m-tolyl)aniline) (m-TPA-DPIQ), is developed for highly efficient saturated red phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). IAIQ, PAIQ, and m-TPA-DPIQ, designed with the increase of molecular flexibility, are systematically investigated. Solution-processable devices based on the efficient phosphorescent emitter bis[2-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)isoquinolinato](2,8-dimethyl-4,6-nonanedionato)Iridium [Ir(mpiq)2divm] are successfully fabricated, and give electroluminescent peaks at 634-636 nm with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.70, 0.30). Under optimized conditions, the devices incorporating IAIQ, PAIQ, and m-TPA-DPIQ exhibit high external quantum efficiency with the maximum value at 25.1%, 23.4%, and 23.3%, respectively, and all exceeding 18% at the luminance of 1000 cd/m2. In application, the supersaturated red devices with excellent performance could facilitate the development of wet-made displays. The newly developed Csp3-annulated host materials with their excitonic properties also showoff the tactic to construct cohost system for high-quality phosphorescent OLEDs.

Abstract
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence-based organic light-emitting diodes (TADF-OLEDs) have recently attracted tremendous research interest as next-generation optoelectronic devices. However, there are a limited number of host materials with an appropriately high lowest-excited triplet energy (ET) and bipolar charge transport properties for high-efficiency TADF-OLEDs. Moreover, these host materials should have high thermal and morphological stabilities. In this study, we develop novel bipolar host materials consisting of an electron-donating 9-phenylcarbazole unit and an electron-accepting triphenylphosphine oxide, triphenylphosphine sulfide, or 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine unit linked by a nonconjugated cyclohexane core. These bipolar host materials possess high glass-transition temperatures of over 100 °C and high ET values of approximately 3.0 eV. TADF-OLEDs employing these bipolar host materials could achieve high external electroluminescence quantum efficiencies of up to 21.7% together with reduced efficiency roll-off characteristics, because of expansion of the charge-recombination zone within the emission layer arising from the bipolar charge transport ability of these host materials.

Abstract
Containing two nitrogen atoms, the electron-deficient pyrimidine ring has excellent coordinating capability with transition metal ions. However, compared with the widely used pyridine ring, applications of the pyrimidine ring in phosphorescent Ir(III) complexes are rare. In this research, two highly emissive pyrimidine-based mononuclear Ir(III) complexes and their corresponding dinuclear Ir(III) complexes were prepared with a simple one-pot reaction. The incorporation of the second Ir(III) center can lead to dramatic differences of both photophysical and electrochemical properties between the mono- and dinuclear complexes. Besides, these properties can also be fine-tuned with different substituents. Theoretical calculations have also been performed to understand their photophysical behaviors. The electroluminescent investigations demonstrate that the pyrimidine-based mono- and dinuclear Ir(III) complexes could show impressive device performance. The vacuum-deposited organic light-emitting diode (OLED) based on the mononuclear Ir(III) complex exhibited an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 16.1% with almost no efficiency roll-off even at 10 000 cd m-2. More encouragingly, the solution-processed OLED based on the dinuclear Ir(III) complex achieved the outstanding EQE, current efficiency (CE), and power efficiency (PE) of 17.9%, 52.5 cd A-1, and 51.2 lm W-1, respectively, representing the highest efficiencies ever achieved by OLEDs based on dinuclear Ir(III) complexes.

Abstract
The future of organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) is drifting from electrofluorescence toward electrophosphorescence due to the feasibility of realizing 100% internal quantum efficiency. There is limited availability of transition metals (TMs) such as Ir, Os, and Pt, which are used for color-tunable phosphorescent emitters, and the use of the host-guest strategy is necessary for suppressing the detrimental triplet-triplet annihilation inherently imparted by the TM-centered emitters. The inevitable demands of organic host materials provide organic chemists with tremendous opportunities to contribute their expertise to this technology. With suitable molecular design and judicious selection of chemical structures featured with different electronic nature, the incorporation of hole-transporting (HT) and electron-transporting (ET) moieties combines the advantages of both functional units into bipolar host materials, which perform balanced injection/transportation/recombination of charge carriers and consequentially lead the OLEDs to have higher performances and low roll-off efficiencies. This review highlights recently developed bipolar host materials with the focus on molecular design strategies and the structure-property-performance relationships of various classes of bipolar host materials, which are classified into several categories according to the structural features of their constituents (HT/ET blocks and spacers).

Abstract
The synthesis of a new family of octahedral Ir(III) complexes with dual cyclometalating phosphine chelates, namely: 1-(diphenylphosphino)naphthalene (dpnaH) and isoquinoline (dppiH), is reported. Two series of intermediate complexes, [Ir(dpna)(tht)(2)Cl(2)] (1), [Ir(dpna)(2)(OAc)] (2), [Ir(dppiH)(dppi)Cl(2)] (3) and [Ir(dppi)(2)(OAc)] (4), which can be classified by the coexistence of either a pair of cis-chlorides or a single acetate chelate, were obtained from treatment of phosphine with [IrCl(3)(tht)(3)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene). The in situ generated acetate complexes 2 and 4 could react with azolate chelates, namely: 5-(2-pyridyl)-3-trifluoromethyl pyrazole (fppzH) and 5-(1-isoquinolyl)-3-tert-butyl-1,2,4-triazole (iqbtzH), to afford a new series of luminescent complexes [Ir(dpna)(2)(fppz)] (5a and 5b), [Ir(dpna)(2)(iqbtz)] (6a and 6b), [Ir(dppi)(2)(fppz)] (7a) and [Ir(dppi)(2)(iqbtz)] (8a). The phosphorescence lifetime (τ(obs)) fell in the range of a few tens of μs, showing possession of excessive ligand-centered ππ* mixed in part with MLCT character. A density functional theory (DFT) study was also conducted in order to shed light on the origin of the transitions in the absorption and emission spectra and to predict emission energies for these complexes. Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) displaying bright orange emission and with maximum η(ext) up to 17.1% were fabricated employing complexes 6a and 8a as the phosphorescent dopants.
