Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic electroluminescence technology, specifically relating to a boron nitrogen compound, compositions containing the same, and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Organic optoelectronic materials are a class of organic materials that possess properties such as the generation, conversion, and transmission of photons and electrons. Currently, the controllable optoelectronic properties of organic optoelectronic materials have been applied to organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltage (OPVs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), and even organic lasers. In recent years, OLEDs have become a very popular new type of flat panel display product both domestically and internationally. OLED displays feature self-emissive characteristics, wide viewing angle, short response time, high luminous efficiency, wide color gamut, low operating voltage, thin panels, the ability to manufacture large-size flexible panels, and low cost, earning them the reputation as the star flat panel display product of the 21st century.

[0003] The history of organic electroluminescence can be traced back to the report by Bernanose et al. in 1953 (see Papkovski D.B. Sens. and Achuators B., 1995, 29, 213). About ten years later, in 1963, Pope et al. at New York University observed the fluorescence emission of anthracene by applying a voltage to anthracene crystals (see M. Pope, H. Kallmann and P. Magnante, J. Chem. Phys., 1963, 38, 2042). In 1987, CWTang et al. of Kodak Corporation in the United States used ultrathin film technology, employing aromatic amines with good hole transport as the hole transport layer, an aluminum complex of 8-hydroxyquinoline as the light-emitting layer, and indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films and metal alloys as the anode and cathode, respectively, to fabricate a light-emitting device. This device achieved a brightness of 1000 cd / m² at a driving voltage of 10 V. 2The device emitted green light with an efficiency of 1.5 lm / W (see CWTang and SAVan Slyke, Appl. Phys. Lett., 1987, 51, 913). This breakthrough led to the rapid and in-depth development of organic electroluminescence research worldwide. In 1990, Burroughes et al. of Cambridge University proposed the first light-emitting diode based on polymer (PPV). This showed that PPV, in monolayer devices, can serve as a highly fluorescent emitting material with high luminous efficiency (see Burroughes JH, Bradley DDC, Brown AR, Marks RN, Mackay K., Friend RH, Burns PL, Holmes AB Nature, 1990, 347, 539). In 1998, Baldo, Forrest et al. of Princeton University reported the first phosphorescent device based on electroluminescence, which in principle could have 100% internal quantum yield. (See MA Baldo, DFO' Brinetal., Nature, 1998, 395, 151). However, on the one hand, phosphorescent materials generally use precious metals such as iridium and platinum, which are expensive. On the other hand, deep blue phosphorescent materials still have problems such as chemical instability and large efficiency roll-off at high current densities. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop an OLED device that can achieve high-efficiency light emission using inexpensive and stable small organic molecule materials.

[0004] In 2012, the Adachi research group at Kyushu University reported a highly efficient all-fluorescent OLED device based on the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) mechanism. (Uoyama H, Goushi K, Shizu K, et al. Highly efficient organic light-emitting diodes from delayed fluorescence[J]. Nature, 2012, 492(7428):234-238.) When the energy difference between the S1 and T1 levels of a molecule is sufficiently small, the triplet exciton can absorb thermal energy, return to the singlet state through a RISC process, and then emit fluorescence. Theoretically, the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of its device can reach 100%, and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) can even reach 30%, comparable to the level of phosphorescent devices. As a next-generation light-emitting material, research on TADF materials is booming.

[0005] TADF molecules are primarily used as guest materials to dope wide-bandgap host materials, achieving high-efficiency thermally activated delayed fluorescence (see Q. Zhang, J. Li, K. Shizu, S. Huang, S. Hirata, H. Miyazaki, C. Adachi, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 14706; H. Uoyama, K. Goushi, K. Shizu, H. Nomura, C. Adachi, Nature., 2012, 492, 234; T. Nishimoto, T. Yasuda, SY Lee, R. Kondo, C. Adachi, Mater. Horiz., 2014, 1, 264). Unlike the localized (LE) state emission of traditional fluorescent molecules, TADF emission mainly originates from the transition of ICT states, and is therefore easily affected by the vibrational and rotational motion between the donor and acceptor, resulting in a broad spectrum. While the broad spectrum is beneficial for lighting applications, it cannot meet the high color purity requirements of the display field. Since the primary application of OLEDs is in display, the narrow spectral design of TADF materials (i.e., a smaller half-width at half-maximum, FWHM) is essential. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a boron-nitrogen compound, compositions comprising the same, and their applications. This invention seeks to overcome the defects of TADF luminescent molecules and achieve effective redshift of the BN derivative spectrum through a dual-core strategy. The present invention relates to a boron-nitrogen compound with a carbazole framework used as a narrow-spectrum luminescent material for preparing the luminescent layer of an organic electroluminescent device, thereby enabling the organic electroluminescent device to achieve narrow-spectrum TADF emission.

[0181] Synthesis Examples

[0182] In the first step, 35.2 mmol of the starting material (i.e., 3,6-bis(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole or its derivatives (A1 to A9), 10.24 g of cesium carbonate (52.8 mmol), and 3.26 g of 2-bromo-1,3-difluorobenzene (17.0 mmol) were added to a 250 mL double-necked round-bottom flask, and 80 mL of anhydrous DMF solution was added. The reaction system was stirred at 160 °C for 24 hours, then cooled to room temperature and poured into ice water (2 L). The white solid was filtered off, dried under vacuum, and then further purified by column chromatography using a mixed eluent of dichloromethane / petroleum ether to obtain intermediate 1a, which was a white solid.

[0183] In the second step, under a nitrogen atmosphere, 19.4 mL of a hexane solution of tert-butyllithium (25.2 mmol) was slowly added to a 100 mL tert-butylbenzene solution containing 12.6 mmol of intermediate 1a (at -30°C). The mixture was slowly heated to 60°C and stirred for 2 hours, then cooled to -30°C, and 2.4 mL of boron tribromide (6.3 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, 15.6 mL of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (91.1 mmol) was added at 0°C, and the reaction mixture was heated to 130°C and stirred for 5 hours, then cooled to room temperature. 5 mL of methanol was added to the reaction mixture to quench any residual BBr3. The reaction system was concentrated under vacuum and purified by column chromatography using a dichloromethane / petroleum ether mixture as eluent to obtain intermediate 1b.

[0184] In the third step, at room temperature, intermediate 1b (6.5 mmol) and 1.7 g of pinacol diborate (13 mmol) were added to tetrahydrofuran (60 mL). The mixture was bubbled under nitrogen for 10 minutes, and then 34.9 mg of 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (0.13 mmol) and 43.1 mg of methoxy(cyclooctadiene)iridium dimer (0.065 mmol) were added under high-flow-rate nitrogen. After stirring for 10 minutes, the mixture was heated to reflux and stirred for 24 hours. After the reaction system cooled to room temperature, it was directly concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography to obtain intermediate 1c.

[0185] In the fourth step, intermediate 1c (6 mmol), starting material BXX (i.e., B1-B52, 2.5 mmol), and potassium carbonate (15 mmol) were added to a tetrahydrofuran solution (50 ml), followed by 8 ml of distilled water. The mixture was bubbled under nitrogen for 5 minutes, and then 207.9 mg of tetra(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0.18 mmol) was added under a high nitrogen flow. The mixture was heated to reflux and stirred for 24 hours. After the system cooled to room temperature, it was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography to obtain the final product BNn. The yield of this step was 27-35%. The relevant data of the target compound obtained are shown in Table 1.

[0187] In the first step, 60 ml of a 250 ml double-necked round-bottom flask containing 15.2 g of 3,6-bis(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole (35.2 mmol), 10.24 g of cesium carbonate (52.8 mmol), and 3.26 g of 2-bromo-1,3-difluorobenzene (17.0 mmol) was added, followed by 80 ml of anhydrous DMF solution. The reaction mixture was stirred at 160 °C for 24 hours, then cooled to room temperature and poured into ice water (2 L). The white solid was filtered off, dried under vacuum, and further purified by column chromatography using a dichloromethane / petroleum ether (1:3) eluent to give 13 g of intermediate 1a as a white solid (yield 79%).

[0188] In the second step, under a nitrogen atmosphere, 19.4 mL of a hexane solution of tert-butyllithium (25.2 mmol) was slowly added to a 100 mL tert-butylbenzene solution containing 12.8 g of intermediate 1a (12.6 mmol) (-30 °C). The mixture was slowly heated to 60 °C and stirred for 2 hours. Hexane was then removed under vacuum, and the mixture was cooled to -30 °C. 2.4 mL of boron tribromide (6.3 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, 15.6 mL of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (91.1 mmol) was added at 0 °C, and the reaction mixture was heated to 130 °C and stirred for 5 hours, then cooled to room temperature. 5 mL of methanol was added to the reaction mixture to quench any residual BBr3. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and purified by column chromatography using a dichloromethane / petroleum ether (1:2) mixture as eluent to give 4.2 g of a bright green solid intermediate 1b (34% yield).

[0189] In the third step, at room temperature, 4.1 g of intermediate 1b (6.5 mmol) and 1.7 g of pinacol diborate (13 mmol) were added to tetrahydrofuran (60 mL). The mixture was bubbled under nitrogen for 10 minutes, and then 34.9 mg of 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (0.13 mmol) and 43.1 mg of methoxy(cyclooctadiene)iridium dimer (0.065 mmol) were added under high-flow-rate nitrogen. After stirring for 10 minutes, the mixture was heated to reflux and stirred for 24 hours. After the reaction system cooled to room temperature, it was directly concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography to obtain 4.17 g of intermediate 1c (yield 85%).

[0190] In the fourth step, 4.5 g of intermediate 1c (6 mmol), 2.0 g of potassium carbonate (15 mmol), and 0.56 g of B7 (2.5 mmol) were added to tetrahydrofuran (50 ml), followed by 8 ml of distilled water. The mixture was bubbled under nitrogen for 5 minutes, and then 207.9 mg of tetraphenylphosphine palladium (0.18 mmol) was added under a high nitrogen flow. The mixture was heated to reflux and stirred for 24 hours. After the system cooled to room temperature, it was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography to obtain 1.0 g of the final product BN111 (yield 28%).

[0191] Other compounds were prepared according to the synthetic method described above. The specific raw materials used and the elemental analysis (C, H and N percentages in the compound), mass spectrometry molecular weight, and synthesis reaction yield data of the products are shown in Table 1.

[0204] Examples of electroluminescent devices

[0205] The molecular structures of some materials involved in the device embodiments are as follows:

[0206]

[0207] The following are examples of electroluminescent devices fabricated using the materials disclosed herein, and the specific device fabrication process is as follows:

[0208] (1) Substrate treatment: Transparent ITO glass was used as the substrate material for device fabrication. It was first ultrasonically treated with 5% ITO cleaning solution for 30 min, then ultrasonically washed sequentially with distilled water (twice), acetone (twice), and isopropanol (twice). Finally, the ITO glass was stored in isopropanol. Before each use, the surface of the ITO glass was carefully wiped with acetone and isopropanol cotton balls, rinsed with isopropanol, dried, and then plasma-treated for 5 min before use. Device fabrication was completed using a combination of spin coating and vacuum evaporation processes.

[0209] (2) Preparation of hole injection layer and hole transport layer: First, a 20 nm thick layer of PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate) was spin-coated on the ITO surface as a hole injection layer. Then, a 50 nm thick layer of Poly-HTL was spin-coated on the hole injection layer as a hole transport layer. Then, the ITO glass with the hole injection layer and hole transport layer was placed in a glove box under nitrogen protection and annealed at 200 °C for 30 minutes (to allow Poly-HTL to crosslink).

[0210] (3) Preparation of luminescent layer: The main material and the luminescent material are dissolved in xylene at a ratio of 97wt%:3wt% (wt% is the weight percentage concentration) to prepare a solution with a concentration of 2wt%. The luminescent layer is prepared by spin coating using the prepared solution. The thickness of the luminescent layer is 50nm.

[0211] (4) Fabrication of electron transport layer, electron injection layer and metal electrode: The electron transport layer, electron injection layer and metal electrode are fabricated using a vapor deposition process. When the vacuum degree of the vacuum deposition system reaches 5×10 -4 Vapor deposition begins when the pressure is below a certain level (Pa). The deposition rate is measured using a SAINS film thickness gauge. An organic electron transport layer, a LiF electron injection layer, and a metal Al electrode are sequentially deposited on the light-emitting layer using a vacuum evaporation process (see the following effect example for specific device structure). The deposition rate of the organic material is [missing information - likely a specific value]. The deposition rate of LiF is The deposition rate of Al is
