As a physicist trying to understand what makes a good organic LED material it is easy to get lost in all the chemical details. Today I came across a review, Light-emitting iridium complexes with tridentate ligands, by W^3 (Williams, Wilkinson, and Whittle!) which has the cute and useful abstract picture below
If you wade through the paper Figure 17 (below) suggests how to understand differences between different ligands in terms of frontier orbitals. They also discuss how the character of the emitting triplet state changes for the different complexes.
