Benefits of technology

The present invention provides compounds, compositions, and methods for making organic electronic devices. These compounds have at least two carbon-carbon triple bonds and a heteroaromatic ring with a —C═N— unit. These compounds can be used as electron transport agents in organic electroluminescent devices. The invention also provides a composition that includes a compound according to Formula I and at least one other compound that is a charge transporting material, charge blocking material, light emitting material, color conversion material, polymeric binder, or combination therof. The organic electronic device made using the compounds or composition of the invention has improved performance and efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

However, OLED devices employing PBD or TAZ often exhibit short operating lifetimes due to recrystallization of or aggregate formation by the PBD or TAZ, leading to phase separation and formation of charge carrier traps that inhibit emission.
However, operating lifetimes for devices based on these materials were found to be extremely short due to PBD aggregation (e.g., see Strukelj et al., Science, 267, 1969, (1995)).

Synthesis of 2-(2,5-Bis-phenylethynylphenyl)-5-(4-octyloxyphenyl)-[1,3,4]oxadiazole

[0246]

Part A: Synthesis of Methyl 4-octoxybenzoate

[0247] Into a flask were introduced methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (251.0 g, 1.65 mol), potassium carbonate (276.37 g, 1.99 mol) and 1200 g of acetone. This was refluxed for 45 min followed by the drop-wise addition of 1-octylbromide (386.17 g, 1.99 mol) over a 1 hour period. The reaction mixture was refluxed for two days. Filtration of the cooled reaction mixture and evaporation of the filtrate gave an oil. This was taken up in ethyl acetate and extracted with 5% NaOH (2×100 ml) followed by water (2×100 ml). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), concentrated, and transferred to a pre-weighed 1 L three-necked flask. The contents of the flask were subjected to high vacuum distillation to remove the excess 1-octylbromide. The pot residue gave 376 g (86% yield) of methyl 4-octoxybenzoate.

Synthesis of 2-(3,5-Bis-phenylethynylphenyl)-5-(4-octyloxyphenyl)-[1,3,4]oxadiazole

[0254]

Part A: Synthesis of 2-(3,5-Dibromophenyl)-5-[4-(octyloxy)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole

[0255] By the general method for the synthesis of 2-(2,5-dibromophenyl)-5-[4-(octyloxy)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole in Example 1, the reaction of 3,5-dibromobenzoyl chloride (20.13 g, 0.06747 mole) with 4-octyloxybenzoic acid hydrazide (17 g, 0.06747 mole) gave the intermediate 3,5-dibromo-N′-[4-(octyloxy)benzoyl]benzohydrazide (12.87 g, 36% yield). Cyclocondensation of the intermediate 3,5-dibromo-N′-[4-(octyloxy)benzoyl]-benzohydrazide (12.17 g) with POCl3 (63 mL) gave the required 2-(3,5-dibromophenyl)-5-[4-(octyloxy)phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole (6.12 g, 52% yield).

Part B: Synthesis of 2-(3,5-Bis-phenylethynylphenyl)-5-(4-octyloxyphenyl)-[1,3,4]oxadiazole

[0256] Using the general method of Example 1, the reaction of Pd(PPh3)4 (71.6 mg, 0.1 mmol) and CuI (23.6 mg, 0.1 mmol) with a mixture of 2,(3,5-dibromophenyl)-5-...

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a divisional of U.S. Ser. No. 10 / 414,073, filed on Apr. 15, 2003, now allowed, the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] This invention relates to compounds, compositions, organic electronic devices, and methods for preparing organic electronic devices. More particularly, the invention relates to compounds and compositions that can be used as electron transport agents in organic electronic devices such as organic electroluminescent devices. BACKGROUND [0003] Organic electroluminescent (OEL) devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are desirable for use in electronic media because of their thin profile, low weight, capability of obtaining a wide variety of emission colors, and low driving voltage. OLEDs have potential use in applications such as backlighting of graphics, pixelated displays, and large emissive graphics. [0004] There is continuing research and develop...
