Abstract
We describe the synthesis and properties of a bis(8-quinolinolato-N-1,O-8)- zinc(II) complex (Znq(2)) which can be used as an efficient electron transf er layer in organic light-emitting diodes. In this material, the electrons are much more mobile at room temperature than in the well-known tris(8-quin olinolato-N-1,O-8)-aluminium(III) complex (Alq(3)). Preliminary results con cerning a series of related compounds are presented. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scie nce B.V. All rights reserved.
