• . The observations from this study may help to better understand degradation processes occurring during the handling of the materials, but also during device processing and operation.

• previous study we already used the photoinduced degradation of phosphorescent iridium complexes in solution as a fast screening tool for their degradation behavior and observed interesting differences and effects in correlation to the examined structures [17]. In this context, we wanted to gain a deeper
