This invention relates to an organic electroluminescence (EL) device and to the use of a tris-cyclometalated iridium complex with a 3-Phenyl-azine ligand for thin-film type organic electroluminescence devices. The iridium complexes used have the following formulae: 

Red-emitting electrophosphorescent devices

Compounds of formula [I]wherein each Rto Ris independently selected from the group consisting of halogen atoms, cyano, isocyano, mercapto, amino, carbonyl, carboxy, sulfone, nitro and hydroxy groups, and optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylamino, arylamino, alkylarylamino, amide, alkylthio, arylthio, alkoxy carbonyl, siloxy, cyclic hydrocarbon or heterocyclic groups; each x is independently zero, one, two or three; each y is independently zero or one; and each z is independently zero, one, two or three are useful in organic electroluminescence devices. Such compounds are disclosed herein, as well as organic electroluminescence devices using the compounds in the emissive layer.
