The spontaneous self-organization of matters has always been one of the most fascinating
wonders in the world. Self-assembly refers to “the autonomous organization of components …

This review covers the advances made in the synthesis of luminescent transition metal
complexes containing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. The presence of a high field …

Phosphorescent organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) are leading candidates for next‐
generation displays and solid‐state lighting technologies. Much of the academic and …

A new class of neutral bis-tridentate Ir (III) metal complexes that show nearly unitary red,
green, and blue emissions in solution is prepared and employed for the fabrication of both …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are omnipresent ligands in coordination and
organometallic chemistry, which is reflected by myriads of applications involving NHC …

Luminescent properties of cyclometalated Ir and Pt complexes have been the focus of
considerable research, driven in large part by their potential use as emitters in organic …

The synthesis, structures and photophysical properties of the charge-neutral Pt (II)
complexes (1–6) and their Pd (II)(7) and Ni (II)(8) congeners supported by tetradentate …

Tetradentate Pt (II) complexes are promising emitters for deep blue organic light‐emitting
diodes (OLEDs) due to their emission energy and high photoluminescence efficiency …

The first examples of BMes2-functionalized NHC chelate ligands have been achieved. Their
Pt (II) acetylacetonate complexes have been synthesized and fully characterized. These …

Square-planar platinum (II) complexes often stack cofacially to yield supramolecular fiber-
like structures with interesting photophysical properties. However, control over fiber …
