A novel deep blue-emitting ZnII complex Zn(Lc)2 (Lc− = 2-(1-(6-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)hexyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenolate) based on a carbazole-functionalized N^O ligand was synthesized by a modified method. Other two ZnII complexes (Zn(La)2, La− = 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenolate; Zn(Lb)2, Lb− = 2-(1-ethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenolate) were also prepared for comparison. The remarkable substitution effect on the photoluminescent and thermal properties of the complexes was studied. The investigation indicated an unexpected amplifying hypsochromic effect of the substituents on the emission of the complex in the solid state: the larger substituent corresponded to the larger blue shift of the emission of the complex (Zn(Lc)2 has the shortest emission wavelength of 422 nm as the deep blue emission among these three complexes). The stronger steric effect induced by the bulky substitutions should be one of the most important factors. Among the three ZnII complexes, the temperature of decomposition of...
