Abstract
An asymmetric tetradentate metal complex of a N{circumflex over ( )}C{circumflex over ( )}C{circumflex over ( )}N comprising tetradentate ligand has a metal connected to binding sites which are connected to each other via three or four covalent bonds that can be either single or double bonds with bridging linkers reside between C{circumflex over ( )}C and C{circumflex over ( )}N moieties. These linkers result in three-dimension metal complexes with distorted square planar geometries. The four donor atoms coordinate to a metal center. Upon metal binding a 5-6-6 membered metallocycle is formed upon chelation including a first nitrogen donor bond, a first metal-carbon bond, a second metal-carbon bond, and a second nitrogen donor bond. The light emission from these metal complexes can be tuned by the ligand structure over the entire visible spectrum.
