Ir(III) carbene complexes have been explored as one of the best blue phosphors for their high performance. Herein, the authors designed and synthesized a series of blue-emitting Ir(III) phosphors (f-ct9a-c), featuring fac-coordinated cyano-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ylidene cyclometalates. These Ir(III) complexes exhibit true-blue emission with a peak maximum spanning 448-467 nm, with high photoluminescence quantum yields of 81-88% recorded in degassed toluene. Moreover, OLED devices bearing phosphors f-ct9a and f-ct9b deliver maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQE) of 25.9% and 30.3%, together with Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.157, 0.225) and (0.142, 0.169), respectively. Remarkably, the f-ct9b-based device displays an incredible EQE of 29.0% at 5000 cd·m. The hyper-OLED device based on f-ct9b and ν-DABNA exhibits an EQE of 34.7% and CIE coordinates of (0.122, 0.131), affirming high potentials in achieving efficient blue electroluminescence.

铱（III）卡宾配合物因其高性能而被视为最佳蓝色磷光体之一。在此，作者设计并合成了一系列发射蓝光的铱（III）磷光体（f-ct9a-c），其特点是具有面式配位的氰基-咪唑并[4,5-b]吡啶-2-亚基环金属化物。这些铱（III）配合物呈现真蓝光发射，最大发射峰在448 - 467纳米范围内，在脱气甲苯中的光致发光量子产率高达81 - 88%。此外，含有磷光体f-ct9a和f-ct9b的有机发光二极管（OLED）器件的最大外量子效率（EQE）分别为25.9%和30.3%，国际照明委员会（CIE）坐标分别为（0.157, 0.225）和（0.142, 0.169）。值得注意的是，基于f-ct9b的器件在5000 cd·m时显示出高达29.0%的惊人EQE。基于f-ct9b和ν-DABNA的超OLED器件的EQE为34.7%，CIE坐标为（0.122, 0.131），这表明其在实现高效蓝色电致发光方面具有很高的潜力。
