The synthesis is reported of a series of blue-emitting heteroleptic iridium complexes with phenylpyridine (ppy) ligands substituted with sulfonyl, fluorine, and/or methoxy substituents on the phenyl ring and a picolinate (pic) ancillary ligand. Some derivatives are additionally substituted with a mesityl substituent on the pyridyl ring of ppy to increase solubility. Analogues with two ppy and one 2-(2'-oxyphenyl)pyridyl (oppy) ancillary ligand were obtained by an unusual in situ nucleophilic displacement of a fluorine substituent on one of the ppy ligands by water followed by (NO)-O-boolean AND chelation to iridium. The X-ray crystal structures of seven of the complexes are reported. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the complexes are supported by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations. Efficient blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (PhOLEDs) were fabricated using a selection of the complexes in a simple device architecture using a solution-processed single-emitting layer in the configuration ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK:OXD-7(35%):Ir complex(15%)/TPBi/LiF/Al. The addition of a sulfonyl substituent blue-shifts the electroluminescence by ca. 12 nm to lambda(EL)(max) 463 nm with CIEx,y coordinates (0.19, 0.29), compared to the benchmark complex Flrpic (lambda(EL)(max) 475 nm, 0.19, 0.38) in directly comparable devices, confirming the potential of the new complexes to serve as effective blue dopants in PhOLEDs. Replacing a fluorine by a methoxy group in these complexes red shifts the PL and EL lambda(max) by ca. 4-6 nm. The efficiency of the blue PhOLEDs of the sulfonyl-substituted complexes is, in most cases, significantly enhanced by the presence of a mesityl substituent on the pyridyl ring of the ppy ligands.
