Abstract: The ground state and electronic spectra in the Ir(Ⅲ) complex Ir(ppy)3[where ppy=2-phenylpyridine], an important phosphorescent material, and its derivatives were studied by using density functional theory(DFT) B3LYP/LanL2dz in programme Gaussian 98. The effects of substituted groups on energies and gaps of HOMO-LUMO were discussed. It is found that electron-withdrawing substituent(-CN) makes both orbital energies and gaps of HOMO-LUMO decrease, whereas electron-releasing substituent(-OCH3) makes orbital energies increase and gaps of HOMO-LUMO relatively unvaried.
