Fast grow of technology for fabrication and commercialization of high-tech products demanding a collaboration of scientists in various filed for the development of advanced technology. In the present seminar, we will show how national and international collaboration can boost multidisciplinary research such as the fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) from novel complexes. As an outcome of collaborative research between Department of Chemistry and Laser and Plasma Research Institute of Shahid Beheshti, and Institute für Anorganische Chemie of Düsseldorf University will be discussed, and a result of our recent work on the development of blue OLEDs technology as an example that outlined below will be presented. In spite of vast study on the application of lanthanides complexes in the photonic devices, use of actinide complexes in the photonic device, specifically uranium complexes, is not investigated so far, to the best of our knowledge. In this context, three anthracene-9-carboxylic acid complexes of uranium have been synthesized and after characterization utilized for fabrications of OLED for the first time. Prepared uranium complexes showed emissions which made some of them suitable to fabricate rare blue OLEDs using vapor deposition method with and without orange pigment. The novel photoluminescent uranium complexes based on the anthracene-9-carboxylic acid ligand in the present study with stable blue emission may pave the path to accelerate the fabrication of low-cost and highly-efficient lighting sources based on OLED technology [1].
