Definitions

• This invention relates to light-emitting complex salts, and uses thereof.
• Compounds having various light-emitting characteristics find utility in a wide range of industrial applications. Examples include imaging and display devices, electro- optical devices and assay procedures. For example, fluorescent, phosphorescent and electroluminescent compounds find wide application in the manufacture of cathode ray tubes, fluorescent tubes, X-ray-imaging screens, radiation detectors, toys and other recreational devices, signs, light-emitting solid state devices etc. Generally inorganic phosphors are used in such applications and these have the disadvantage that they require complex deposition techniques.
• display devices are passive in the sense of utilising components that modulate another light source. Examples include liquid crystal displays of the kind found in mobile telephones, calculators, computer screens and flat-screen television displays. Although more convenient to manufacture than cathode ray tube displays, such devices require a separate light source and the materials from which they are manufactured tend to deteriorate with time.
• the present invention seeks to address these problems and has done so by providing a new class of light emitting compounds that comprise complex salts formed between a complexed metal anion and a selected organic cat ion. It has been found that by appropriate selection of the complexed metal anion and the organic cation, compounds having a wide range of desirable physical properties may be produced. For example, the basic light emitting properties of the complexes may be predetermined by appropriate selection of the metal and its associated ligand. Similarly, properties such as melting point and solubility in organic solvents may be determined by appropriate selection of the organic cation. It has also been found that the organic cation can affect the luminescent properties of the complex as a whole.
