A series of bis-cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes incorporating imidazole-based arylazole N^N ligands is reported and their use as electroluminescent materials in light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) devices is investigated. LECs performance is determined by the nature of the emitting state (3MLCT/3LLCT vs 3LC) and the electrochemical stability of the complex. Complexes using N−CH3-protected benzimidazole units lead to LECs with simultaneous high luminance (904 cd m−2), efficiency (9.15 cd A−1), and stability (lifetime over 2500 h).
