Abstract Color‐tunable organic light‐emitting diodes (CT‐OLEDs) have a large color‐tuning range, high efficiency and operational stability at practical luminance, making them ideal for human‐machine interactive terminals of wearable biomedical devices. However, the device lifetime CT‐OLEDs is currently far from reaching requirements. To address this problem, tetradentate Pt(II) complex named tetra‐Pt‐dbf, which can emit efficiently in both monomer aggregation states, designed. This emitter...

The self-assembled complexes have applications organic semiconductors, biosensing, light-emitting diodes, photocatalysis. attractive metallophilicity ground state believed to originate from spd orbital hybridization or electron correlation interaction strengthened by relativistic effect. These two models remained controversial for long time. Our findings...
