Light-emitting dendrimers with iridium(III) complex cores have given rise to some of the simplest and most efficient organic light-emitting diodes. However, whilst monochrome devices can be prepared there is currently no method for the patterning of the dendrimer films to give rise to pixelated colour displays. The main aim of this project was to develop methodology for the patterning of dendrimer films. In particular, dendrimers are designed that have an oxetane surface group that can be crosslinked to form patterns by a photo-generated acid.
