 each of R, R′, R A , R B , R C , and R D  is independently a hydrogen or a substituent selected from the group consisting of deuterium, halogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, arylalkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, amino, silyl, boryl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, heteroalkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, acyl, carboxylic acid, ether, ester, nitrile, isonitrile, sulfanyl, sulfinyl, sulfonyl, phosphino, and combinations thereof; 
 M is Pt, Pd, Au, Ag, Cu or Zn; and 
 any two adjacent R, R′, R A , R B , R C , and R D  can be joined or fused together to form a ring, 
 with the proviso that the compound is not the one shown below:
