Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on phosphorescent materials are among the most promising technologies for displays and lightings. For red-emitting heteroleptic iridium complexes (HICs), vast and major research has been focused on the design and synthesis of cyclometalated ligands, while relatively little attention has been given to ancillary ligands which also play important roles in manipulating the optoelectronic and electroluminescent properties of HICs. Seven deep red-emitting HICs were designed and synthesized by systematically modifying the alkyl groups in &beta:-diketone-type ancillary ligands. These HICs exhibited similar physical and optoelectronic properties, with OLED devices based on these materials achieving consistent emission peaks at 624 nm and CIE coordinates of (0.68, 0.32). Among the synthesized HICs, Ir(dmippiq)₂:(dmeacac), featuring 3,7-dimethyl-4,6-nonanedione as the ancillary ligand, demonstrated the best OLED performance, achieving a champion external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 18.26%. This result highlights that engineering the alkyl groups in &beta:-diketone ancillary ligands can significantly enhance device performance.
