Green–Blue Emitters: NHC‐Based Cyclometalated [Pt(C^C*)(acac)] Complexes

White on target: Platinum(II) complexes with cyclometalated 1-phenylimidazole ligands (see picture: R=2,3-OC6H4) show photophysical properties in the blue region of the visible spectrum, thus giving them the potential to be used as the blue component of white-light-emitting diodes.
