TL;DR: In this article, the design of multi-component small-molecular metallophosphors, metallodendrimers and metallopolymers aiming at color tuning and multiple functions is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight recent and current advances in developing new synthetic strategies for multifunctional organometallic phosphors, which integrate both luminescent and charge carrier injection/transport functions into the same molecules so that they perform most, if not all, of the necessary functional roles (viz. photoexcitation, charge injection and transport as well as recombination).

TL;DR: In this paper, a new and synthetically versatile strategy has been developed for the phosphorescence color tuning of cyclometalated iridium phosphors by simple tailoring of the phenyl ring of ppy (Hppy=2-phenylpyridine) with various main-group moieties in [Ir(ppy-X)(2)(acac)] (X=B(Mes)(2), SiPh3, GePh 3, NPh2, POPh 2, OPh, SPh, SO2Ph).

TL;DR: The recent advances in WPLEDs are summarized with special attention paid to the design of novel luminescent dopants and device structures that minimize the gap from other lighting sources such as fluorescent lamps, light-emitting diodes based on inorganic semiconductors, and vacuum-deposited small-molecular devices, thus rendering WPL EDs equally competitive.

TL;DR: A novel strategy is developed that allows for tuning of the optical absorption and charge transport properties as well as the PSC efficiency of these metallopolyynes, and it is anticipated that this class of materials could soon lead to exciting applications in next-generation PSCs and other electronic or photonic devices.
