This research aims to synthesise and characterise new blue phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes and analyse their photophysical properties. Three iridium(III) complexes were synthesised: bis(2-(2-butoxy-4-fluorophenyl)pyridine)(2,6 difluorobenzyltriazolpyridine)iridium(III) ion (C1), bis(2-(2-ethoxy-4- fluorophenyl)pyridine)(2,6-difluorobenzyltriazolpyridine)iridium(III) ion (C2) and bis(2-(2-butoxy-4-fluorophenyl)pyridine)(imidazolpyridine)iridium(III) ion (C3). Complexes of C1 and C2 were obtained via reaction of dichloro-bridged iridium(III) dimers with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands, while C3 was prepared using the same dimer reacted with 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine. All complexes were characterised using spectroscopic techniques: _H, __C and distortionless enhancement by polarisation transfer 135 (DEPT-135) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry using electrospray ionisation (LC-ESI/MS).
