Electro Luminescent Compounds

Hey guys, this isn't really pyro related at all, but does anyone have any experience with EL compounds? As far as synthesizing? I'm doing a research project on making my own OLED Device, I have found one synth on it here but ruthenium compunds are rediculously expensive. I have access to chemicals I just need to find the cheapest synth as far as chemicals are concerned, but it still effective. Hope that makes sense.

Ru(bpy)3 is the only material I have practical experience with. Made some OLEDs in my inorganic class. A similar proceedure to what you posted, but we had to prepare the Ru(bpy)3.

 

Doped zinc sulfide is the only other one I know some basics about, and that is somewhat hard to work with I hear.

Wow, yea... don't think the ZnS2 is going to work for me either... crap... I may have to break down (more like break the bank) and order the Ru chems. Have a look at the patent explaining some of the process for the ZnS2 EL compound.
