The present invention provides compositions comprising at least one novel
organic iridium compound which comprises at least one cyclometallated
ligand and at least one ketopyrrole ligand. The organic iridium
compositions of the present invention are referred to as Type (1) organic
iridium compositions and are constituted such that no ligand of the novel
organic iridium compound has a number average molecular weight of 2,000
grams per mole or greater (as measured by gel permeation chromatography).
Type (1) organic iridium compositions are referred to herein as
comprising "organic iridium complexes". The novel organic iridium
compositions are useful in optoelectronic electronic devices such as OLED
devices and photovoltaic devices. In one aspect, the invention provides
novel organic iridium compositions useful in the preparation of OLED
devices exhibiting enhanced color properties and light output
efficiencies.
