Summary: Platinum(II) coordination-driven architectures have unique features in fabricating functional supramolecular materials with various light-emitting metallacycles and metallacages. The platinum(II) center not only builds metal-ligand bonds, but also benefits the ultimate luminescence due to its unique photophysical traits. This study reveals the function of platinum(II) metallacycles in light-emitting devices, which is expected to apply to other coordination-driven architectures with versatile properties.

Summary: A green solvent selection procedure is established to achieve good device performance and environmental safety in quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs). Solvents that do not lower the device performance by avoiding interlayer mixing or a rough interface are identified using Hansen solubility parameters and surface roughness. Cyclopentanone (CPO) is selected as the optimal hole transport layer (HTL) solvent, improving the maximum luminescence and current efficiency compared to hazardous chlorobenzene.
