We present a comparative analysis of 1H and 13C NMR of nMeq3M's (n = 0, 2, 4, 5) made from thermal sublimation, in a polar as well as a non-polar solvent to investigate possible evidences for the isomer distribution, stability of the metal chelate in the presence of a polar solvent and crystal structure determination for pure Inq 3 using single-crystal x-ray diffraction studies. This work will be the first report to use 13C NMR spectroscopy to investigate nMeq3M's (n = 0, 2, 4, 5). These metal chelates were found to be stable in the presence of a polar solvent and the results were shown to support the mer-isomer. Also in this work the first report of the crystal structure for Inq3 grown in gas phase is reported and it was found to have a mer-configuration.","abstract_html":"Structure of aluminum tris-8-hydroxyquinoline (Alq3) and other metal tris-quinolates (Mq3) in vapor deposited films in organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) is not well established due to the possibility of existing two geometric isomeric forms, meridianal and facial.
