Abstract:

A compound having the formula Ir(L.sub.A).sub.n(L.sub.B).sub.3-n, having the structure, ##STR00001## Formula I, is disclosed. In Formula I, Z.sup.1, Z.sup.2, Z.sup.3, and Z.sup.4 each independently are N or CR.sup.2; X is O, S, or Se; n is an integer from 1 to 3; R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, and R.sup.5 each independently represent mono- to a maximum possible number of substitutions, or no substitution; R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, and R.sup.5 are each independently selected from a variety of substituents; any two substitutions in R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, and R.sup.5 are optionally joined to form a ring; at least one pair of substitutions in R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, and R.sup.5 are joined together to form a bridge structure comprising a backbone structure that forms a fused first ring, which can be further substituted; and the backbone structure is saturated. Organic light emitting devices and consumer products containing the compounds are also disclosed.
