Research towards more efficient emitters in organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) continues, and especially for structures, that emit light in the high energy blue region. One of the approaches for achieving highly efficient emitters is using phosphorescent transition metal complexes, that utilize excited triplet states for emission. To the best of our knowledge, there are few publications that have prepared iridium complexes with purine carbenes and examined their photophysical properties. Further research of such compounds is important for achieving optimal emitters for OLEDs.
