The present invention relates to organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), and more specifically to phosphorescent organic materials used in such devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to emissive phosphorescent material comprising a carbene ligand bound to a metal center, wherein the resulting metal-carbene complex is cationic.

The present invention relates to catalysts of transition metal complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes, their methods of preparation and their use in chemical synthesis. The synthesis, ease-of-use, and activity of the compounds of the present invention are substantial improvements over in situ catalyst generation. Further, the transition metal complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes of the present invention may be used as precatalysts in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.

An organic light emitting device having an anode, a cathode and an organic layer disposed between the anode and the cathode is provided. The organic layer may comprise a compound having at least one zwitterionic carbon donor ligand.The organic layer may comprise a carbene compound that includes a triazole ring and has the structure:

Stable carbene ligands are provided having a carbene center flanked by a quaternary carbon and an amino group, and having utility in the preparation of various transition metal complexes.

There is disclosed herein phosphorescent compounds, uses thereof, and devices including organic light emitting diode (OLEDs) including such compounds. Compounds of interest include: wherein A is Os or Ru The anionic chelating chromophores NˆN, which are formed by connecting one pentagonal ring structure containing at least two nitrogen atoms to a hexagonal pyridine type of fragment via a direct carbon-carbon linkage. L is a neutral donor ligand; the typical example includes carbonyl, pyridine, phosphine, arsine and isocyanide; two neutral L's can also combine to produce the so-called chelating ligand such as 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, or bidentate phosphorous ligands such as 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene. L can occupy either cis or trans orientation. When L occupies the trans position, the preferred structure contains both the hexagonal fragment of NˆN as well as its pentagonal fragment located at the trans position respect to their counterparts of the second NˆN chromophore. When L occupies the cis position, the preferred structure consists of the pentagonal unit of NˆN chromophores residing opposite to the L. X,1 X2 and X3 independently are C or N; when X2 is N, R1 is omitted, when X3 is N, R2 is omitted, R1 is H, C1-C8 alkyl, C1-C8 substituted phenyl or C1-C4 perfluoroalkyl, R2 is H, F or cyano substituent, X4 is either C or N; X4 may locate at any position of the hexagonal ring, when X4 is N and R3 and R4 are not linked to X4, R3 is H, methyl or C1-C3 small alkyl, R4 is H, methyl or C1-C3 small alkyl, or R3 and R4 together form an additional conjugated unit with structure

This invention relates to a catalyst compound comprising a combination of a cyclic alkyl amino carbene ligand and a benzylidene both attached to a Group 8 metal, preferably ruthenium atom.This invention also relates to a process to make linear alpha-olefins comprising contacting a feed material and an optional alkene (such as ethylene) with the catalyst described above, wherein the feed material is a triacylglyceride, fatty acid, fatty acid alkyl ester, and / or fatty acid ester, typically derived from seed oil (e.g., biodiesel).
