Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to compounds for use in organic electronic devices, such as organic light-emitting devices. More particularly, it relates to a pyrene compound comprising an aromatic amine-substituted compound, and an organic electroluminescent device comprising the compound and a compound formulation. Background Technology
[0002] Organic electronic devices include, but are not limited to, the following types: organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field-effect transistors (O-FETs), organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs), organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs), dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), organic optical detectors, organic photosensors, organic field-effect devices (OFQDs), light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), organic laser diodes, and organic plasma light-emitting devices.
[0003] In 1987, Tang and Van Slyke of Eastman Kodak reported a bilayer organic electroluminescent device comprising an arylamine hole transport layer and a tri-8-hydroxyquinoline-aluminum layer as both an electron transport and luminescent layer (Applied Physics Letters, 1987, 51(12): 913-915). Once a bias voltage was applied to the device, green light was emitted. This invention laid the foundation for the development of modern organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). State-of-the-art OLEDs can include multiple layers, such as charge injection and transport layers, charge and exciton blocking layers, and one or more luminescent layers between the cathode and anode. Because OLEDs are self-emissive solid-state devices, they offer enormous potential for display and lighting applications. Furthermore, the inherent properties of organic materials, such as their flexibility, make them well-suited for specialized applications, such as in the fabrication of flexible substrates.
[0004] OLEDs can be categorized into three different types based on their light-emitting mechanism. The OLED invented by Tang and van Slyke is a fluorescent OLED. It uses only singlet state emission. The triplet state generated in the device is wasted through non-radiative decay channels. Therefore, the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of fluorescent OLEDs is only 25%. This limitation hindered the commercialization of OLEDs. In 1997, Forrest and Thompson reported phosphorescent OLEDs, which use triplet emission from complexed heavy metals as the emitter. Therefore, both singlet and triplet states can be harvested, achieving 100% IQE. Due to its high efficiency, the discovery and development of phosphorescent OLEDs directly contributed to the commercialization of active-matrix OLEDs (AMOLEDs). More recently, Adachi achieved high efficiency through thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) of organic compounds. These emitters have small singlet-triple state gaps, making it possible for excitons to return from the triplet state to the singlet state. In TADF devices, triplet excitons can generate singlet excitons through reverse intersystem crossing, resulting in high IQE.
[0005] The color of OLED emission can be achieved through the design of the luminescent material structure. OLEDs can include one or more luminescent layers to achieve the desired spectrum. Phosphorescent materials for green, yellow, and red OLEDs have been successfully commercialized. Currently, phosphorescent blue OLEDs suffer from short lifespans, difficulty in achieving deep blue, blue unsaturation, and high operating voltages. Fluorescent blue OLEDs have longer lifespans than phosphorescent blue OLEDs, but suffer from low efficiency, thus there is a strong need to improve the efficiency and other performance characteristics of fluorescent blue electroluminescent devices.
[0006] WO2009107596A1 discloses pyrene compounds with triarylamine substitution of benzo[a]alicyclic rings, with the general formula: Wherein the substituent R 21 -R 24 It can form rings to create the following structure Specifically, the structure is as follows:

However, the patent application mainly targets a series of pyrene compounds with acridine-substituted aromatic amines, without paying attention to the improvement of device performance brought about by benzo[a]heterocyclic hydrocarbons, nor does it disclose or teach the device effects obtained by introducing benzo[a]heterocyclic hydrocarbons or benzo[a]heterocyclic hydrocarbons into aromatic amines or by having another aryl group in the aromatic amine be a biaryl group.
[0009] These documents disclose some fluorescent luminescent materials with aromatic amine structures centered around pyrene. However, further development of fluorescent luminescent materials is still needed to achieve higher device performance. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another organic light-emitting device that may contain the compounds and compound formulations disclosed herein. Detailed Implementation
[0034] OLEDs can be manufactured on various substrates, such as glass, plastic, and metal. Figure 1 An organic light-emitting device 100 is illustrated schematically and non-limitingly. The figures are not necessarily drawn to scale, and some layer structures may be omitted as needed. Device 100 may include a substrate 101, an anode 110, a hole injection layer 120, a hole transport layer 130, an electron blocking layer 140, a light-emitting layer 150, a hole blocking layer 160, an electron transport layer 170, an electron injection layer 180, and a cathode 190. Device 100 can be fabricated by sequentially depositing the described layers. The properties and functions of each layer, as well as exemplary materials, are described in more detail in columns 6-10 of U.S. Patent 7,279,704B2, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0035] Each of these layers has numerous examples. For instance, a flexible and transparent substrate-anode combination is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,844,363, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. An example of a p-doped hole transport layer is m-MTDATA doped with F4-TCNQ at a molar ratio of 50:1, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003 / 0230980, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. An example of a host material is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,303,238 to Thompson et al., which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. An example of an n-doped electron transport layer is BPhen doped with Li at a molar ratio of 1:1, as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003 / 0230980, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Examples of cathodes are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,703,436 and 5,707,745, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. These cathodes comprise composite cathodes having a thin metal layer, such as Mg:Ag, overlaid with a transparent, conductive, sputter-deposited ITO layer. The principles and use of barrier layers are described in more detail in U.S. Patent No. 6,097,147 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003 / 0230980, which are also incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Examples of implantation layers are provided in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004 / 0174116, which is also incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. A description of protective layers can be found in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004 / 0174116, which is also incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0036] The layered structure described above is provided through non-limiting embodiments. The functionality of an OLED can be achieved by combining the various layers described above, or some layers can be omitted entirely. It may also include other layers not explicitly described. Within each layer, a single material or a mixture of multiple materials can be used to achieve optimal performance. Any functional layer may include several sublayers. For example, a light-emitting layer may have two different light-emitting materials to achieve a desired emission spectrum.
[0037] In one embodiment, an OLED can be described as having an "organic layer" disposed between a cathode and an anode. This organic layer may include one or more layers.
[0038] OLEDs also require an encapsulation layer, such as Figure 2 An organic light-emitting device 200 is shown schematically and non-limitingly, which is related to... Figure 1The difference lies in the fact that an encapsulation layer 102 may also be included above the cathode 190 to protect against harmful substances from the environment, such as moisture and oxygen. Any material capable of providing encapsulation can be used as the encapsulation layer, such as glass or an organic-inorganic hybrid layer. The encapsulation layer should be placed directly or indirectly on the outside of the OLED device. Multilayer thin-film encapsulation is described in U.S. Patent 7,968,146B2, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0039] Devices manufactured according to embodiments of the present invention can be incorporated into a variety of consumer products having one or more electronic component modules (or units). Some examples of such consumer products include flat panel displays, monitors, medical monitors, televisions, billboards, lights for indoor or outdoor lighting and / or signaling, head-up displays, fully or partially transparent displays, flexible displays, smartphones, tablet computers, phablets, wearable devices, smartwatches, laptop computers, digital cameras, portable camcorders, viewfinders, microdisplays, 3D displays, vehicle displays, and taillights.
[0040] The materials and structures described in this article can also be used in other organic electronic devices listed above.
[0041] As used herein, "top" means furthest from the substrate, and "bottom" means closest to the substrate. When the first layer is described as being "disposed" on the second layer, the first layer is positioned further from the substrate. Unless it is specified that the first layer "contacts" the second layer, other layers may exist between the first and second layers. For example, even if various organic layers exist between the cathode and anode, the cathode may still be described as being "disposed" on the anode.
[0042] As used herein, “solution-handleable” means capable of being dissolved, dispersed or transported in and / or deposited from a liquid medium in the form of a solution or suspension.
[0043] When a ligand is believed to directly contribute to the photosensitivity of the emitting material, the ligand can be called "photosensitive." When a ligand is believed not to contribute to the photosensitivity of the emitting material, the ligand can be called "auxiliary," but auxiliary ligands can alter the properties of photosensitivity ligands.
[0044] It is believed that the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of fluorescent OLEDs can exceed the 25% spin statistical limit through delayed fluorescence. Delayed fluorescence can generally be divided into two types: P-type delayed fluorescence and E-type delayed fluorescence. P-type delayed fluorescence is generated by triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA).
[0045] On the other hand, E-type delayed fluorescence does not depend on the collision of two triplet states, but rather on the transition between triplet and singlet excited states. Compounds capable of producing E-type delayed fluorescence need to have a very small singlet-triple gap to facilitate the transition between energy states. Thermal energy can activate the transition from the triplet state back to the singlet state. This type of delayed fluorescence is also called thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). A significant characteristic of TADF is that the delayed component increases with increasing temperature. If the reverse intersystem crossing (IRISC) rate is fast enough to minimize the nonradiative decay from the triplet state, the fraction of singlet excited states that are refilled can reach 75%. The total singlet fraction can be 100%, far exceeding the 25% spin statistics of electrogenerated excitons.
[0046] E-type delayed fluorescence can be observed in excited complex systems or single compounds. Unbound by theory, it is believed that E-type delayed fluorescence requires the luminescent material to have a small singlet-triple bandgap (ΔE). S-T Organic, nonmetallic donor-acceptor luminescent materials may be able to achieve this. The emission of these materials is typically characterized as donor-acceptor charge transfer (CT) emission. Spatial separation of the HOMO and LUMO in these donor-acceptor compounds usually produces small ΔE. S-T These states can include CT states. Typically, donor-acceptor luminescent materials are constructed by linking an electron donor moiety (e.g., an amino or carbazole derivative) with an electron acceptor moiety (e.g., an N-containing six-membered aromatic ring).

[0061] It should be understood that when a molecular segment is described as a substituent or otherwise attached to another part, its name may be written according to whether it is a segment (e.g., phenyl, phenylene, naphthyl, dibenzofuranyl) or according to whether it is a whole molecule (e.g., benzene, naphthalene, dibenzofuran). As used herein, these different ways of specifying substituents or attaching segments are considered equivalent.
[0062] In the compounds mentioned in this disclosure, hydrogen atoms can be partially or completely replaced by deuterium. Other atoms such as carbon and nitrogen can also be replaced by their other stable isotopes. Substitution with other stable isotopes in the compounds may be preferred due to their ability to enhance device efficiency and stability. In the compounds mentioned in this disclosure, a deuterated substituent, such as a deuterated methyl group, means that at least one hydrogen atom in the substituent (methyl group) is replaced by deuterium.
[0063] In the compounds mentioned in this disclosure, multiple substitution refers to the range including disubstitution, up to the maximum number of available substitutions. When a substituent in a compound mentioned in this disclosure represents multiple substitution (including disubstitution, trisubstitution, tetrasubstitution, etc.), it means that the substituent can be present at multiple available substitution positions on its linkage structure. The substituent present at multiple available substitution positions can be the same structure or different structures.
[0064] In the compounds mentioned in this disclosure, unless explicitly specified, for example, that adjacent substituents can optionally connect to form a ring, adjacent substituents in the compounds cannot connect to form a ring. In the compounds mentioned in this disclosure, the optional connection of adjacent substituents to form a ring includes both cases where adjacent substituents can connect to form a ring and cases where adjacent substituents do not connect to form a ring. When adjacent substituents can optionally connect to form a ring, the resulting ring can be a monocyclic or polycyclic ring, and can be an alicyclic, heterocyclic, aromatic, or heteroaromatic ring. In this context, adjacent substituents can refer to substituents bonded to the same atom, substituents bonded to carbon atoms directly bonded to each other, or substituents bonded to carbon atoms further away. Preferably, adjacent substituents refer to substituents bonded to the same carbon atom and substituents bonded to carbon atoms directly bonded to each other.
[0065] The statement that two adjacent substituents can optionally connect to form a ring is also intended to be understood as referring to two substituents bonded to the same carbon atom connecting to each other via chemical bonds to form a ring, as exemplified by the following formula:
[0066]

[0158] first step:
[0159]
[0160] LDA (100 mL, 200 mmol) was placed in a 250 mL three-necked flask and stirred for half an hour under dry ice-ethanol conditions. Methyl isobutyrate (23 mL, 200 mmol) was added, and stirring was continued for another half hour. 1-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)benzene (25 g, 100 mmol) was then added, and the mixture was filtered through diatomaceous earth. After concentration, crude intermediate 1 was obtained and directly proceeded to the next reaction step.
[0161] Step Two:
[0162]
[0163] Intermediate 1 (27 g, 100 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (56 g, 1 mol) were mixed, and 100 mL of water and 10 mL of methanol were added. The mixture was heated to 100 °C and reacted until the reaction was complete as detected by TLC. After cooling, the reaction was allowed to return to room temperature. Concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH of the system to acidic. The organic phase was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phases were combined and concentrated.
[0164] The above product (27 g, 100 mmol) was dissolved in 200 mL of dichloromethane, purged with N2 gas, and one drop of DMF was added. Oxaloyl chloride (12.8 mL, 120 mmol) was then gradually added dropwise. After the system stopped producing bubbles, the reaction was transferred to an ice bath and stirred for half an hour. Aluminum trichloride (14.3 g, 108 mmol) was added in portions, and the reaction was monitored by TLC until completion. The product was purified by column chromatography, eluting with PE, to give a white solid intermediate 2 (22 g, 91.6 mmol, yield 85%).
[0165] Step 3:
[0166]
[0167] Intermediate 2 (22g, 99mmol) was dissolved in 300mL of methanol, stirred in an ice-water bath for half an hour, and NaBH4 was added in batches until the reaction was complete. The mixture was then filtered through diatomaceous earth and the filtrate was concentrated.
[0168] The above product was dissolved in dichloromethane, and Et3SiH (22.5 g, 198 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred in an ice-water bath for half an hour, and TFA (34 g, 297 mmol) was gradually added dropwise. The mixture was concentrated and purified by column chromatography to obtain a colorless oily intermediate 3 (7.7 g, 34.4 mmol, yield 35%).
[0169] Step 4:
[0170]
[0171] Under nitrogen protection at room temperature, Pd2(dba3) (1 g, 1.1 mmol), intermediate 3 (5.1 g, 22.7 mmol), 4-methyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-amine (5 g, 27.2 mmol), BINAP (1.4 g, 2.2 mmol), and tBuONa (4.7 g, 49.6 mmol) were added to xylene (100 mL), and the system was heated to 90 °C and reacted overnight. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was purified by column chromatography to give a white solid intermediate 4 (5.7 g, 17.4 mmol, yield 76%).
[0172] Step 5:
[0173]
[0174] Under nitrogen protection at room temperature, 1,6-dibromopyrene (2.6 g, 7.2 mmol), intermediate 4 (5.7 g, 17.4 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (161 mg, 0.72 mmol), and tBu3PH were added. + BF4 - Xylene (20 mL) was added to 406 mg (1.4 mmol) and tBuONa (2.7 g, 28.2 mmol), and the system was heated to 100 °C until the reaction was complete.

[0357]
[0358]
[0359] The IVL of all embodiment and comparative devices was measured at different current densities and voltages, while the deposition temperature was also measured. At a constant current of 1000 cd / m², the IVL was measured. 2 Under these conditions, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) and maximum emission wavelength (λ) are measured. max ), half-width at half-maximum (FWHM) and CIE data.

[0362] discuss:
[0363] Table 2 shows the device data for Example 1, Example 2, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2. Compared with Comparative Example 1, Example 1 shows that when one of the aryl groups of the aromatic amine is a biaryl group, the EQE is increased by nearly 8.07% (9.11 vs. 8.43), and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) is narrowed by 2 nm (29.7 nm vs. 31.7 nm), effectively improving device performance.
[0364] Furthermore, compared to Comparative Example 2, Example 2 showed an EQE increase of approximately 4.28%, while the full width at half maximum (FWHM) and maximum emission wavelength remained unchanged. This demonstrates that Example 2, compared to Comparative Example 2, shows that when one aryl group of the aromatic amine is a biaryl group, an improvement in EQE can be achieved, effectively increasing the blue emission performance.

[0367] discuss:
[0368] Table 3 shows the device data for Examples 3 and 4. In Example 4, a methyl group was further introduced at the N-ortho position of the aromatic amine. Compared to Example 2, where no substituent was present at the N-ortho position of the aromatic amine, the EQE was improved (9.12 vs. 9.02), the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was narrowed (29.7 nm vs. 30.5 nm), and the maximum emission wavelength also underwent a blue shift (461 nm vs. 463 nm). The results indicate that, based on the premise that one aryl group of the aromatic amine is a biaryl group, simultaneously introducing an alkyl substituent at the N-ortho position of the aryl group can further improve the blue emission performance.
[0369] In Example 3, a neopentyl group was further introduced at the N-ortho position of the aromatic amine. Compared to the introduction of a methyl group at the N-ortho position in Example 1, the addition of the ortho substituent and the gradual increase in EQE (9.48 vs. 9.11) with increasing molecular size of the ortho substituent resulted in a narrower half-width at half-maximum (28.5 nm vs. 29.7 nm). Compared to Comparative Example 1, both EQE and half-width at half-maximum were improved. The results indicate that, based on the dual structure of the aromatic amine with a benzo5-membered ring and a biaryl substituent, the simultaneous introduction of a substituent at the N-ortho position can further enhance the blue luminescence performance, and this effect increases with the increase in molecular size of the N-ortho substituent.

[0372] discuss:
[0373] Table 3 shows the device data for Examples 5 and 6. In Examples 5 and 6, fluorine substitution was introduced at the N-meta position of the aryl group in the aromatic amine. Compared to Examples 2 and 1 without fluorine substitution, the maximum emission wavelengths were blue-shifted by 7 nm (456 nm vs. 463 nm) and 6 nm (455 nm vs. 461 nm), respectively. The results indicate that, based on the dual structure of the aromatic amine with a benzo5-membered ring and biaryl substituents, the introduction of fluorine substitution can achieve a blue shift in the maximum emission wavelength, resulting in deep blue luminescence.

[0375] Compound BD31 BD151 BD441 BD250 Evaporation temperature / ℃ 228.5 230.0 236.0 209.0
[0376] The vapor deposition temperature data of the compounds of the present invention in the device embodiments are shown in Table 5. These vapor deposition temperatures are achieved at a vacuum degree of approximately 10... -8 The material was deposited at a rate of 0.04 Å / s. The compounds disclosed in this invention improve device performance while maintaining a relatively mild deposition temperature, which is beneficial for meeting the thermal stability requirements of the industry.
[0377] In summary, in aromatic amine-substituted pyrene compounds, one substituent of the aromatic amine is a substituted or unsubstituted ortho-(hetero)aryl pentane ring structure, and the other is a substituted or unsubstituted bi(hetero)aryl group, especially a substituted or unsubstituted biaryl group with no more than two aryl (phenyl) groups. The novel compounds obtained by combining such structures, when applied to organic electroluminescent devices, can achieve a bluer emission wavelength, higher EQE, and narrower half-width at half-maximum, thereby improving the overall performance of the device. Furthermore, introducing fluorine substitution or an N-ortho substituent into the other (hetero)aryl group can further enhance the blue emission performance. The compounds disclosed in this invention improve device performance while also having a relatively mild material evaporation temperature, which is beneficial for the thermal stability requirements of the industry.
