[0218] As used throughout this application, the term "cyclic group" may be understood in the broadest sense as any monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic moiety.
[0219] As used throughout this application, the terms "ring" and "ring system" may be understood in the broadest sense as any monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic moiety.
[0220] The term "ring atom" refers to any atom that is part of the core of a ring or ring structure and not part of a substituent optionally attached to the core.
[0221] As used throughout this application, the term "carbocycle" may be understood in the broadest sense as any cyclic group wherein the core structure comprises only carbon atoms, which may of course be substituted with hydrogen or any other substituents as defined in the specific embodiments of the invention. It is understood that the term "carbocycle" as an adjective refers to a cyclic group wherein the core structure comprises only carbon atoms, which may of course be substituted with hydrogen or any other substituents as defined in the specific embodiments of the invention.
[0222] As used throughout this application, the term "heterocycle" can be understood in the broadest sense as any cyclic group wherein the ring core structure not only includes carbon atoms but also includes at least one heteroatomic. It is understood that the term "heterocycle" as an adjective refers to a cyclic group wherein the ring core structure not only includes carbon atoms but also includes at least one heteroatomic. Unless otherwise specified in a specific embodiment, heteroatoms can be identical or different at each occurrence and can be individually selected from the group consisting of N, O and S. All carbon atoms or heteroatoms included in the heterocycle in the context of the invention can certainly be substituted with hydrogen or any other substituent defined in a specific embodiment of the invention.
[0223] As used throughout this application, the term "aromatic ring system" may be understood in the broadest sense as any bicyclic or polycyclic aromatic moiety.
[0224] As used throughout this application, the term "heteroaromatic ring system" may be understood in the broadest sense as any bicyclic or polycyclic heteroaromatic moiety.
[0225] As used throughout this application, the term "fused" means that the aromatic ring or heteroaromatic ring of "fused" share at least one key when relating to an aromatic ring system or heteroaromatic ring system, and the at least one key is a part of two ring systems. For example, naphthalene (or naphthyl when being referred to as a substituent) or benzothiophene (or benzothiophene when being referred to as a substituent) are considered to be fused aromatic ring systems in the context of the present invention, wherein, two benzene rings (for naphthalene) or thiophene and benzene (for benzothiophene) share a key. It is also understood that in this context, sharing a key includes sharing two atoms that constitute the corresponding key, and the aromatic ring system or heteroaromatic ring system that is fused can be understood as an aromatic system or heteroaromatic system. In addition, it is understood that the aromatic ring or heteroaromatic ring that can be formed to be fused greater than a key can be shared (for example, in pyrene) by the aromatic ring or heteroaromatic ring that constitutes the aromatic ring system or heteroaromatic ring system. In addition, it will be understood that alicyclic ring systems can also be fused, and this has the same implication as for aromatic ring systems or heteroaromatic ring systems, except that the alicyclic ring system that is fused is certainly not aromatic.
[0226] As used throughout this application, the terms "aryl" and "aromatic" can be understood in the broadest sense to mean any monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic aromatic moiety. Thus, unless otherwise specified in a specific embodiment of the invention, an aryl group contains 6 to 60 aromatic ring atoms, and a heteroaryl group contains 5 to 60 aromatic ring atoms, at least one of which is a heteroatom. Nevertheless, throughout this application, the number of aromatic ring carbon atoms may be given as a subscript number in the definition of certain substituents. Specifically, a heteroaromatic ring contains one to three heteroatoms. Similarly, the terms "heteroaryl" and "heteroaromatic" can be understood in the broadest sense to mean any monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic heteroaromatic moiety containing at least one heteroatom. Unless otherwise specified in a specific embodiment, the heteroatoms may be the same or different at each occurrence and may be individually selected from the group consisting of N, O, and S. Thus, the term "arylene" refers to a divalent substituent having two points of attachment to other molecular structures and thus serving as a linker structure. In the event that a group in the exemplary embodiments is defined differently from the definition given herein (e.g., the number of aromatic ring atoms or the number of heteroatoms is different from the given definition), the definition in the exemplary embodiments will apply. According to the invention, a condensed (cyclized) aromatic polycyclic or heteroaromatic polycyclic ring is composed of two or more monoaromatic or heteroaromatic rings that form a polycyclic ring via a condensation reaction.
[0227] Specifically, as used throughout this application, the term "aryl" or "heteroaryl" includes groups that can be bonded via any position of an aromatic group or a heteroaromatic group, the group being derived from benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, dihydropyrene, , perylene, fluoranthene, benzanthracene, triphenylene, tetracene, pentacene, benzopyrene, furan, benzofuran, isobenzofuran, dibenzofuran, thiophene, benzothiophene, isobenzothiophene, dibenzothiophene, pyrrole, indole, isoindole, carbazole, indolocarbazole, pyridine, quinoline, isoquinoline, acridine, phenanthridine, benzo-5,6-quinoline, benzo-6,7-quinoline, benzo-7,8-quinoline, phenothiazine, phenoxazine, pyrazole, indazole, imidazole, benzimidazole, naphthimidazole, phenanthimidazole, pyridimidazole, pyrazinimidazole, quinoxalinoimidazole, oxadiazole oxazole, benzoxazole, naphthoxazole, anthraxazole, phenanthroxazole, isoxazole, 1,2-thiazole, 1,3-thiazole, benzothiazole, pyridazine, benzopyridazine, pyrimidine, benzopyrimidine, 1,3,5-triazine, quinoxaline, pyrazine, phenazine, naphthyridine, carboline, benzocarboline, phenanthroline, 1,2,3-triazole, 1,2,4-triazole, benzotriazole, 1,2,3-oxadiazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,5-oxadiazole, 1,2,3,4-tetrazine, purine, pteridine, indolizine and benzothiadiazole or a combination of the foregoing groups.
[0228] In certain embodiments of the invention, the adjacent substituents that are attached to an aromatic ring or ring system or heteroaromatic ring or ring system can together form an additional monocyclic or polycyclic aliphatic or aromatic carbocycle or heterocycle or ring system that is fused to the aromatic ring or ring system or heteroaromatic ring or ring system to which the substituent is attached. It is understood that the fused ring system optionally formed in this way will be larger (meaning that it includes more ring atoms) than the aromatic ring or ring system or heteroaromatic ring or ring system to which the adjacent substituent is attached. In these cases, the "total" amount of the ring atoms included in the fused ring system will be understood to be the sum of the ring atoms included in the aromatic ring or ring system or heteroaromatic ring or ring system to which the adjacent substituent is attached and the additional ring system formed by the adjacent substituent, but, wherein, the carbon atoms shared by the fused ring are counted once rather than twice. For example, a benzene ring can have two adjacent substituents that form another benzene ring to constitute a naphthalene core. Since two carbon atoms are shared by two benzene rings and are therefore counted only once rather than twice, the naphthalene nucleus then comprises 10 ring atoms.The term "adjacent substituents" in this context refers to substituents which are attached to the same or adjacent atoms.
[0229] As used throughout this application, the term "adjacent substituents" or "adjacent groups" refers to substituents or groups that are bound to the same or adjacent atoms.
[0230] As used throughout this application, the term "aliphatic" when referring to a ring system is to be understood in the broadest sense and means that there are no aromatic or heteroaromatic rings among the rings comprising the ring system.

Additionally, adjacent emissive layers or emissive layers separated by a charge generation layer may be combined.
[0362] The substrate can be formed of any material or combination of materials. Most commonly, a glass slide is used as a substrate. Alternatively, a thin metal layer (e.g., copper, gold, silver or aluminum film) or a plastic film or slide can be used. This can allow a higher degree of flexibility. The anode layer (A) is mainly composed of a material that allows a (substantially) transparent film to be obtained. Since at least one of the two electrodes should be (substantially) transparent to allow light to be emitted from the OLED, the anode layer (A) or the cathode layer (C) is transparent. Preferably, the anode layer (A) includes a large amount of transparent conductive oxide (TCO), or even consists of a transparent conductive oxide (TCO). Such an anode layer (A) can, for example, include indium tin oxide, aluminum zinc oxide, fluorine-doped tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, PbO, SnO, zirconium oxide, molybdenum oxide, vanadium oxide, tungsten oxide, graphite, doped Si, doped Ge, doped GaAs, doped polyaniline, doped polypyrrole and / or doped polythiophene.
[0363] Preferably, the anode layer (A) consists (essentially) of indium tin oxide (ITO) (e.g. (InO3) 0.9 (SnO2) 0.1). The roughness of the anode layer (A) caused by the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) can be compensated by using a hole injection layer (HIL). In addition, because the transport of quasi-charge carriers from the TCO to the hole transport layer (HTL) is promoted, the HIL can promote the injection of quasi-charge carriers (i.e., holes). The hole injection layer (HIL) may include poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), MoO2, V2O5, CuPC or CuI (specifically, a mixture of PEDOT and PSS). The hole injection layer (HIL) can also prevent the diffusion of metal from the anode layer (A) into the hole transport layer (HTL). The HIL may include PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate), PEDOT (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)), mMTDATA (4,4',4"-tris[phenyl(m-tolyl)amino]triphenylamine), spiro-TAD (2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(n,n-diphenylamino)-9,9'-spirobifluorene), DNTPD (N1,N1'-(biphenyl-4,4'-diyl)bis(N1-phenyl-N4,N4-di-m-tolylphenyl-1,4-diamine)), NPB (N ,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-bis-phenyl(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine), NPNPB (N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis[4-(N,N-diphenyl-amino)phenyl]benzidine), MeO-TPD (N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)benzidine), HAT-CN (1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile) and / or spiro-NPD (N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-9,9'-spirobifluorene-2,7-diamine).
[0364] Adjacent to the anode layer (A) or the hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL) is typically positioned. Any hole transport compound can be used herein. Exemplarily, electron-rich heteroaromatic compounds such as triarylamines and / or carbazoles can be used as hole transport compounds. The HTL can reduce the energy barrier between the anode layer (A) and the light-emitting layer (EML). The hole transport layer (HTL) can also be an electron blocking layer (EBL). Preferably, the hole transport compound has a relatively high energy level of its triplet state (T1). For example, the hole transport layer (HTL) may include tris(4-carbazol-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA), poly-TPD (poly(4-butylphenyl-diphenyl-amine)), α-NPD (N,N′-bis(naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N′-bis(phenyl)-2,2′-dimethylbenzidine), TAPC (4,4′-cyclohexyl-bis[N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)aniline]), 2-TNATA (4,4′,4″-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine), spiro-TAD, DNTPD, NPB, NPNPB, Me Star-shaped heterocycles of O-TPD, HAT-CN, and / or Tris-Pcz (9,9'-diphenyl-6-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-9H,9'H-3,3'-bicarbazole). Additionally, the HTL may include a p-doped layer that may be composed of an inorganic dopant or an organic dopant in an organic hole-transporting matrix. Transition metal oxides such as vanadium oxide, molybdenum oxide, or tungsten oxide may be used as inorganic dopants. Tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ), copper pentafluorobenzoate (Cu(I)pFBz), or transition metal complexes may be used as organic dopants.
[0365] The EBL may include mCP (1,3-bis(carbazol-9-yl)benzene), TCTA, 2-TNATA, mCBP (3,3-bis(9H-carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl), Tris-Pcz, CzSi (9-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-3,6-bis(triphenylsilyl)-9H-carbazole), and / or DCB (N,N′-dicarbazyl-1,4-dimethylbenzene).
[0366] Adjacent to the hole transport layer (HTL), an emissive layer (EML) is typically positioned. The emissive layer (EML) includes at least one organic molecule. Specifically, the EML includes at least one organic molecule according to the invention. Typically, the EML additionally includes one or more host materials. Exemplarily, the host material is selected from CBP (4,4'-bis(N-carbazolyl)biphenyl), mCP, mCBP, Sif87 (dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-2-yltriphenylsilane), CzSi, Sif88 (dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-2-yldiphenylsilane), DPEPO (bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether oxide), 9-[3-(dibenzofuran-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3-(dibenzothiophen-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, The host material may be selected to exhibit a first triplet state (T1) energy level and a first singlet state (S1) energy level that are energetically higher than the first triplet state (T1) energy level and the first singlet state (S1) energy level of the organic molecule.
[0367] In one embodiment of the invention, the EML comprises a so-called hybrid host system having at least one hole-dominant host and one electron-dominant host. In a specific embodiment, the EML comprises exactly one organic molecule according to the invention and a hybrid host system comprising T2T as an electron-dominant host and a host selected from the group consisting of CBP, mCP, mCBP, 9-[3-(dibenzofuran-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3-(dibenzothiophen-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3,5-bis(2-dibenzofuranyl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, and 9-[3,5-bis(2-dibenzothiophen-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole as a hole-dominant host. In another embodiment, the EML includes 50 wt % to 80 wt % (preferably 60 wt % to 75 wt %) of a host, 10 wt % to 45 wt % (preferably 15 wt % to 30 wt %) of T2T, and 5 wt % to 40 wt % (preferably 10 wt % to 30 wt %) of an organic molecule according to the invention, wherein the host is selected from CBP, mCP, mCBP, 9-[3-(dibenzofuran-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3-(dibenzothiophen-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3,5-bis(2-dibenzofuranyl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, and 9-[3,5-bis(2-dibenzothiophene)phenyl]-9H-carbazole.
[0368] Adjacent to the light-emitting layer (EML), an electron transport layer (ETL) may be positioned. Any electron transporter may be used. For example, electron-poor compounds such as benzimidazole, pyridine, triazole, oxadiazole (e.g., 1,3,4-oxadiazole), phosphine oxide, and sulfone may be used. The electron transporter may also be a star-shaped heterocycle such as 1,3,5-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)benzene (TPBi). The ETL may include NBphen (2,9-bis(naphthalene-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline), Alq3 (tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum), TSPO1 (diphenyl-4-triphenylsilylphenyl-phosphine oxide), BPyTP2 (2,7-bis(2,2′-bipyridin-5-yl)triphenylene), Sif87 (dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-2-yltriphenylsilane), Sif88 (dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-2-yldiphenylsilane), BmPyPhB (1,3-bis[3,5-di(pyridin-3-yl)phenyl]benzene), and / or BTB (4,4′-bis[2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazinyl)]-1,1′-biphenyl). Optionally, the ETL may be doped with a material such as Liq. An electron transport layer (ETL) can also block holes, or a hole blocking layer (HBL) can be introduced.
[0369] HBL may include, for example, BCP (2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline = bathocuproine), BAlq (bis(8-hydroxy-2-methylquinolinol)-(4-phenylphenoxy)aluminum), NBphen (2,9-bis(naphthalen-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline), Alq3 (tris(8-hydroxyquinolinol)aluminum), TSPO1 (diphenyl-4-triphenylsilyl) phenyl-phosphine oxide), T2T (2,4,6-tris(biphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine), T3T (2,4,6-tris(terphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine), TST (2,4,6-tris(9,9'-spirobifluoren-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine) and / or TCB / TCP (1,3,5-tris(N-carbazolyl)benzene / 1,3,5-tris(carbazol-9-yl)benzene).
[0370] The cathode layer (C) can be positioned adjacent to the electron transport layer (ETL). For example, the cathode layer (C) can include a metal (e.g., Al, Au, Ag, Pt, Cu, Zn, Ni, Fe, Pb, Li, Ca, Ba, Mg, In, W, or Pd) or a metal alloy, or can be composed of a metal (e.g., Al, Au, Ag, Pt, Cu, Zn, Ni, Fe, Pb, Li, Ca, Ba, Mg, In, W, or Pd) or a metal alloy. For practical reasons, the cathode layer can also be composed of a (substantially) opaque metal such as Mg, Ca, or Al. Alternatively or additionally, the cathode layer (C) can also include graphite and / or carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Alternatively, the cathode layer (C) can also be composed of nanoscale silver wires.
[0371] The OLED may further optionally include a protective layer (which may be designated as an electron injection layer (EIL)) between the electron transport layer (ETL) and the cathode layer (C). This layer may include lithium fluoride, cesium fluoride, silver, Liq (8-hydroxyquinoline lithium), Li2O, BaF2, MgO and / or NaF.
[0372] Optionally, the electron transport layer (ETL) and / or the hole blocking layer (HBL) may also include one or more host compounds.
[0373] In order to further modify the emission spectrum and / or absorption spectrum of the light-emitting layer (EML), the light-emitting layer (EML) may further include one or more other emitter molecules (F). Such emitter molecules (F) may be any emitter molecules known in the art. Preferably, such emitter molecules (F) are molecules having a structure different from that of the organic molecules according to the invention. The emitter molecule (F) may alternatively be a TADF emitter. Alternatively, the emitter molecule (F) may alternatively be a fluorescent and / or phosphorescent emitter molecule capable of shifting the emission spectrum and / or absorption spectrum of the light-emitting layer (EML). For example, by emitting light that is typically red-shifted compared to the light emitted by the organic molecule (E), triplet and / or singlet excitons may be transferred from the organic molecule (E) according to the invention to the emitter molecule (F) before relaxing to the ground state (S0). Alternatively, the emitter molecule (F) may also cause a two-photon effect (i.e., absorption of half the energy of the absorption maximum by two photons).
[0374] Alternatively, the optoelectronic device (e.g., an OLED) can be, for example, a substantially white optoelectronic device. For example, such a white optoelectronic device can include at least one (deep) blue emitter molecule and one or more emitter molecules that emit green and / or red light. Energy transfer can optionally occur between the two or more molecules described above.
[0375] As used herein, if not more specifically defined in a particular context, the color of emitted and / or absorbed light is designated as follows:
[0376] Purple: wavelength range of >380nm to 420nm;
[0377] Dark blue: wavelength range of >420nm to 480nm;
[0378] Sky blue: wavelength range of >480nm to 500nm;
[0379] Green: >500nm to 560nm wavelength range;
[0380] Yellow: >560nm to 580nm wavelength range;
[0381] Orange: >580nm to 620nm wavelength range;
[0382] Red: >620nm to 800nm wavelength range.
[0383] For emitter molecules, this color refers to the emission maximum. Thus, for example, a deep blue emitter has an emission maximum in the range of >420 nm to 480 nm, a sky blue emitter has an emission maximum in the range of >480 nm to 500 nm, a green emitter has an emission maximum in the range of >500 nm to 560 nm, and a red emitter has an emission maximum in the range of >620 nm to 800 nm.
[0384] Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to an OLED that emits light having CIEx and CIEy color coordinates close to CIEx (=0.131) and CIEy (=0.046) color coordinates, which are the primary color blue (CIEx=0.131, CIEy=0.046) as defined by ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020 (Rec.2020), and is therefore suitable for use in ultra-high-definition (UHD) displays (e.g., UHD-TV). Therefore, a further aspect of the invention relates to an OLED, the emission of which exhibits CIEx color coordinates between 0.02 and 0.30 (preferably between 0.03 and 0.25, more preferably between 0.05 and 0.20, or even more preferably between 0.08 and 0.18, or even between 0.10 and 0.15) and / or CIEy color coordinates between 0.00 and 0.45 (preferably between 0.01 and 0.30, more preferably between 0.02 and 0.20, or even more preferably between 0.03 and 0.15, or even between 0.04 and 0.10).
[0385] Yet another embodiment of the present invention relates to an OLED that emits light having CIEx (=0.170) and CIEy (=0.797) color coordinates that are close to the CIEx (=0.170) and CIEy (=0.797) color coordinates, which are the primary color green (CIEx=0.170, CIEy=0.797) as defined by ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020 (Rec.2020), and the OLED is therefore suitable for use in ultra-high-definition (UHD) displays (e.g., UHD-TV). In this context, the term "close" refers to the range of CIEx and CIEy coordinates provided at the end of this paragraph. In commercial applications, top-emitting (top electrode is transparent) devices are typically used, while the test devices as used throughout this application represent bottom-emitting devices (bottom electrode and substrate are transparent). Therefore, a further aspect of the invention relates to an OLED, the emission of which exhibits CIEx color coordinates between 0.15 and 0.45 (preferably between 0.15 and 0.35, more preferably between 0.15 and 0.30, or even more preferably between 0.15 and 0.25, or even between 0.15 and 0.20) and / or CIEy color coordinates between 0.60 and 0.92 (preferably between 0.65 and 0.90, more preferably between 0.70 and 0.88, or even more preferably between 0.75 and 0.86, or even between 0.79 and 0.84).
[0386] Another aspect of the present invention relates to an OLED having a brightness of 14500 cd / m 2 and / or an emission maximum between 500 nm and 560 nm (more preferably between 510 nm and 550 nm, even more preferably between 520 nm and 540 nm), and / or an external quantum efficiency of greater than 10% (more preferably greater than 13%, more preferably greater than 15%, even more preferably greater than 17%, or even greater than 20%) at a wavelength of 14500 nm and / or an emission maximum between 14500 cd / m 2 The present invention preferably exhibits an LT97 value of greater than 100 hours (preferably greater than 250 hours, more preferably greater than 500 hours, even more preferably greater than 750 hours, or even greater than 1000 hours) under the conditions described above.
[0387] Another aspect of the present invention relates to an OLED having a brightness of 1000 cd / m 2and / or an emission maximum between 420 nm and 500 nm (more preferably between 430 nm and 490 nm, even more preferably between 440 nm and 480 nm), and / or an external quantum efficiency of greater than 8% (more preferably greater than 10%, more preferably greater than 13%, even more preferably greater than 15%, or even greater than 20%) at a wavelength of 500 nm or less. 2 The invention further comprises a LT80 value of greater than 100 hours (preferably greater than 200 hours, more preferably greater than 400 hours, even more preferably greater than 750 hours, or even greater than 1000 hours) under the conditions described above.
[0388] Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to an OLED that emits light at different color points. According to the present invention, the OLED emits light having a narrow emission band (small full width at half maximum (FWHM)). In one aspect, the OLED according to the invention emits light having a main emission peak FWHM of less than 0.50 eV (preferably less than 0.48 eV, more preferably less than 0.45 eV, even more preferably less than 0.43 eV, or even less than 0.40 eV).
[0389] In yet another aspect, the invention relates to a method for producing an optoelectronic device, in which case the inventive organic molecule is used.
[0390] The optoelectronic device (in particular, OLED) according to the present invention can be manufactured by any means of vapor deposition and / or liquid processing. Thus, at least one layer:

[0395] The method for manufacturing an optoelectronic device (in particular, an OLED) according to the present invention is known in the art. Different layers are deposited individually and successively on a suitable substrate by means of subsequent deposition processes. The same or different deposition methods can be used to deposit each layer.
[0396] Vapor deposition processes can include thermal (co)evaporation, chemical vapor deposition, and physical vapor deposition. For active matrix OLED displays, an AMOLED backplane is used as a substrate. Each layer can be processed from a solution or dispersion using an appropriate solvent. Solution deposition processes illustratively include spin coating, dip coating, and jet printing. Liquid processing can optionally be performed in an inert atmosphere (e.g., in a nitrogen atmosphere), and the solvent can be completely or partially removed by methods known in the art.

[0398] General Synthesis Scheme I
[0399] Illustratively, General Synthesis Scheme I provides a synthesis scheme for an organic molecule M1 according to the invention, wherein the first chemical moiety has a structure according to Formula Ia, wherein T is the binding site of a single bond connecting the first chemical moiety to the second chemical moiety and wherein X is R X :
[0400]
[0401] Where E3 and E4 are identical, two nucleophilic substitution reactions can be carried out in a single synthesis step (in other words: M1 is obtained directly via P1). For this purpose, reactant E3=E4 is used in a threefold excess as will be described in the synthesis step (step 4).

[0404]
[0405] Unlike general synthesis scheme I, general synthesis scheme II exemplarily shows a two-step synthesis of compound M2, which is made possible by the fact that all donor parts (reactants: E7, used in excess) in M2 are exemplarily selected to be the same. As can be seen in general synthesis scheme I, this is not a prerequisite. More details can be obtained through experimental steps.

[0420] General steps for synthesis:
[0421] Steps for Synthesis Scheme I
[0422] Step 1
[0423] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a mixture of THF and water (4: 1 volume ratio) was added to boronic acid pinacol ester E2 (1.00 equivalents), 2,4-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine derivatives (1.50 equivalents), potassium carbonate (2.00 equivalents) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.03 equivalents, CAS 14221-01-3), followed by nitrogen bubbling for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred at 60°C until complete conversion of boronic acid pinacol ester E2 was reached as judged by GC / MS and TLC. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and brine. The organic extract was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography to obtain P1 as a solid.
[0424] Step 2
[0425] P1 (1.20 equivalents, product of step 1), E3 (1.00 equivalents) and tripotassium phosphate (2.00 equivalents) were suspended in anhydrous DMSO under a nitrogen atmosphere and stirred at 90° C. for 2 hours (reaction monitored via GC / MS and TLC). Subsequently, the reaction mixture was poured into a stirred mixture of water and ice. The resulting precipitate was filtered off and washed with water and ethanol. The crude product was purified by additional washing with dichloromethane to obtain P2 as a solid.
[0426] Step 3
[0427] Under nitrogen atmosphere, anhydrous THF is added P2 (1.00 equivalents, the product of step 2) and E4 (1.30 equivalents), and then sodium hydride (1.30 equivalents) is added. Once H2 emission has stopped, the reaction mixture is heated to 60°C under stirring. After the reaction is completed based on the reaction monitored by LC / MS and TLC, the reaction is carefully poured into water. The gained precipitate is filtered out and then washed with water, ethanol and hexane. The crude product is purified by column chromatography and subjected to heat washing with toluene to obtain M1 as a solid. Alternatively, the reaction mixture quenched with ethyl acetate and salt water extraction can be used. The organic layer combined is then dried with anhydrous MgSO4, the solvent is removed under reduced pressure, and the residue is recrystallized by ethyl acetate. In dichloromethane, the gained crude product is heated to reflux for 2 hours, then hot filtered and washed with ethanol solid, to obtain M1 as a solid.
[0428] Step 4, double nucleophilic substitution reaction (P1→M1)
[0429] This step is similar to step 3 above except that P1 (1.00 equiv) is used instead of P2 along with 3.00 equiv of donor molecule E3=E4 and 3.00 equiv of sodium hydride.
[0430] Steps for Synthesis Scheme II
[0431] Step 5
[0432] Under nitrogen atmosphere, E6 (1.00 equivalents) is dissolved in anhydrous THF, and then nitrogen is bubbled for 10 minutes. After being cooled to -20 ℃, isopropylmagnesium chloride-lithium chloride complex (1.10 equivalents, CAS:745038-86-2) is added, then stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour. Using cannula, cold Grignard solution (Grignard solution) is slowly transferred to a solution of cyanuric chloride (E5, 1.10 equivalents, CAS:108-77-0) in anhydrous THF (nitrogen atmosphere, room temperature). The reaction mixture is heated to 60 ℃ and stirred for 1.5 hours (reaction is monitored via GC / MS and TLC), and after being cooled to room temperature, quenched by adding water. Extracted with dichloromethane, the organic layer combined is then treated with charcoal, filtered, and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. Purification of crude product is carried out by column chromatography using cyclohexane / dichloromethane as eluent to obtain product P3 as a solid.
[0433] Step 6
[0434] This step is similar to step 4 except using P3 (1.00 eq.) instead of P1 and E7 (4.00 eq.) as reactants along with 4.00 eq. of sodium hydride. The product M2 is obtained as a solid.
[0435] Steps for the synthesis of Scheme III
[0436] Step 7
[0437] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, E3 (1.00 equivalents) was dissolved in THF. At 0°C, n-butyl lithium (1.0 equivalents, 2.5M in hexane) was added dropwise and then stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. In a separate flask, E1 (1.50 equivalents) was dissolved in THF under a nitrogen atmosphere. To this solution, a pre-prepared lithium substance was added dropwise. Subsequently, the mixture was heated under reflux until complete conversion of E1 was achieved as judged by GC / MS and TLC. After cooling to room temperature, water was added, the precipitated solid was filtered out, and it was washed with water and ethanol to obtain P4 as a solid. The substance can be further purified by recrystallization.
[0438] Step 8
[0439] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a mixture of toluene and water was added to boric acid E8 (1.20 equivalents), P4 (1.00 equivalents, the product of step 7), potassium carbonate (2.00 equivalents) and [1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene] palladium (II) dichloride (0.05 equivalents, CAS 72287-26-4). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux until complete conversion of P4 was achieved as determined by GC / MS and TLC. After cooling to room temperature, water was added and then extracted with dichloromethane and water. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was heated to reflux for 2 hours in ethanol and washed with ethanol during hot filtration. The hot filtration step was then repeated with a 1:1 mixture of methanol and water to obtain product P5 as a solid.
[0440] Step 9
[0441] The procedure was similar to step 2 except that P5 (1.00 eq., product of step 8) was used instead of P1 and E4 (1.10 eq.) was used instead of E3 along with 2.20 eq. of tripotassium phosphate. M3 was obtained as a solid.
[0442] Steps for Synthesis Scheme IV
[0443] Step 10
[0444] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, E3 (2.00 equivalents) was dissolved in THF. At 0°C, n-butyl lithium (2.10 equivalents, 2.5M in hexane) was added dropwise and then stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. In a separate flask, E5 (1.00 equivalents) was dissolved in THF under a nitrogen atmosphere. To this solution, a pre-prepared lithium substance was added dropwise. The mixture was then heated under reflux until complete conversion of E5 was achieved as judged by GC / MS and TLC. After cooling to room temperature, water was added, the precipitated solid was filtered out, and it was washed with water and ethanol to obtain P6 as a solid. The substance can be further purified by recrystallization.
[0445] Step 11
[0446] Except using P6 (1.00 equivalent, the product of step 10) instead of P4, this step is similar to step 8. After the reaction is judged to be complete by GC / MS and TLC, the reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, poured into water, and the resulting precipitate is filtered out. It is washed with water and ethyl acetate to obtain P7 as a solid.
[0447] Step 12
[0448] The procedure was similar to step 2 except that P7 (1.00 equiv., product of step 11) was used instead of P1 and E4 (1.10 equiv.) was used instead of E3 along with 2.20 equiv. of tripotassium phosphate. M4 was obtained as a solid.

[0451] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, E1aa (1.00 equivalents, CAS: 2052-07-5) was dissolved in anhydrous THF, and then nitrogen was bubbled for 10 minutes. The solution was added dropwise to activated magnesium (3.00 equivalents, CAS: 7439-95-4) in anhydrous THF, and then stirred for 2h at the same temperature. Using a cannula, the cold Grignard solution was slowly transferred to a solution of cyanuric chloride (E5, 1.50 equivalents, CAS: 108-77-0) in anhydrous toluene (nitrogen atmosphere, room temperature). The reaction mixture was heated to 78 ° C and stirred for 8 hours (reaction monitored via GC / MS and TLC), and after cooling to room temperature, quenched by adding water. It was extracted with dichloromethane, then the combined organic layer was treated with charcoal, filtered, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography using cyclohexane / dichloromethane as eluent to obtain the product E1 as a solid.
[0452] Steps for the Synthesis of Scheme V
[0453] Step 13a
[0454] Under nitrogen atmosphere, a mixture of toluene and water (7: 1 volume ratio) was added to boronic acid E7aa (1.00 equivalent), E6aa (1.50 equivalents), potassium carbonate (2.00 equivalents) and tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium (0) (0.03 equivalent, CAS 14221-01-3), followed by nitrogen bubbling for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred at 60°C until the complete conversion of boronic acid E7aa was determined by GC / MS and TLC. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and saline. The organic extract was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography to obtain P4 as a solid.
[0455] Step 14
[0456] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a mixture of dioxane and water (10:1 volume ratio) was added to the boronate ester E8aa (1.30 equivalents), P4 (1.00 equivalents, product of step 7), potassium acetate (2.00 equivalents, CAS: 127-08-2) and [1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (0.05 equivalents, CAS 72287-26-4). The reaction mixture was stirred at 80°C until complete conversion of P4 was achieved as judged by GC / MS and TLC. After cooling to room temperature, water was added, followed by extraction with dichloromethane and water. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was heated to reflux in ethanol for 2 hours and washed with ethanol while hot filtering. The hot filtration step was then repeated with a 1:1 mixture of methanol and water to obtain the product P8aa as a solid.
[0457] Step 15
[0458] Under nitrogen atmosphere in anhydrous THF, E4 (1.30 equivalents) and subsequently P8aa (1.00 equivalents, the product of step 14) are added to NaH (1.40 equivalents, CAS: 7646-69-7), and stirred under reflux until the reaction is complete (monitoring the reaction via GC / MS and TLC). Subsequently, the reaction mixture is poured into water and ice. Extracted with dichloromethane, the organic layer then combined with charcoal treatment, filtered, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. Purification of the crude product is carried out by column chromatography or recrystallization to obtain the product M5 as a solid.
[0459] Steps for the Synthesis of Scheme VI
[0460] Step 16
[0461] E9 (1.00 equivalent) and E1 (1.00 equivalent) were stirred at 105° C. in anhydrous dioxane under a nitrogen atmosphere until the reaction was complete (reaction monitored via GC / MS and TLC). After cooling to room temperature, water was added and then extracted with dichloromethane and water. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous MgSO 4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was heated to reflux for 2 hours in ethanol and washed with ethanol during heat filtration. P4 was obtained as a solid.
[0462] Step 17
[0463] This step is similar to step 14 above, except that THF is used instead of ethanol for the hot filtration step.
[0464] Step 18
[0465] This step is similar to step 15 above.
[0466] Steps for the Synthesis of Scheme VII
[0467] Step 19
[0468] This step is similar to step 1 above.
[0469] Step 20
[0470] Under nitrogen atmosphere, P1 (1.00 equivalent), E7 (3.00 equivalent) and tripotassium phosphate (4.00 equivalent) were suspended in anhydrous DMSO and stirred at 110° C. for 2 hours (reaction monitored via GC / MS and TLC). Subsequently, the reaction mixture was poured into a stirred mixture of water and ice. The resulting precipitate was filtered off and washed with water and ethanol. The crude product was purified by additional washing with dichloromethane to obtain M6 as a solid.
[0471] Cyclic voltammetry
[0472] Cyclic voltammograms were obtained by mixing the voltammograms with a concentration of 10 -3 The measurement was performed at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere using a three-electrode assembly (working electrode and counter electrode: Pt wire, reference electrode: Pt wire) and using FeCp2 / FeCp2 + The HOMO data were calibrated using ferrocene as an internal standard using a saturated calomel electrode (SCE).
[0473] Density functional theory calculations
[0474] The molecular structure was optimized using the BP86 functional and the resolution of identity approach (RI). Excitation energies were calculated using the BP86-optimized structure using time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT). Orbital and excited-state energies were calculated using the B3LYP functional. The Def2-SVP basis set and an m4 grid were used for numerical integration. The Turbomole package was used for all calculations.
[0475] Photophysical measurements
[0476] Sample pretreatment: spin coating.
[0477] Instrument: Spin150, SPS euro.
[0478] The sample concentration was 0.2 mg / mL and was dissolved in toluene / DCM as a suitable solvent.
[0479] Program: 7 to 30 seconds at 2000 rpm. After coating, the film was dried at 70° C. for 1 minute.
[0480] Absorption measurement
[0481] The wavelength of the sample's absorption maximum in the wavelength region above 270 nm was determined using a Thermo Scientific Evolution 201 UV-visible spectrophotometer. This wavelength was used as the excitation wavelength for photoluminescence spectroscopy and quantum yield measurements.
[0482] Photoluminescence and phosphorescence spectroscopy
[0483] For analysis of phosphorescence spectra and photoluminescence spectra, a fluorescence spectrometer “Fluoromax 4P” from Horiba was used.
[0484] Time-resolved PL spectroscopy in the μs range and ns range (FS5)
[0485] Time-resolved PL measurements were performed on an FS5 fluorescence spectrometer from Edinburgh Instrument. The better light collection allows an optimized signal-to-noise ratio compared to measurements on a HORIBA device, which favors the FS5 system, especially for transient PL measurements of delayed fluorescence properties. The spectrometer includes a 150 W xenon arc lamp as a continuous light source and the selected wavelength can be selected by a Czerny-Turner monochromator. However, standard measurements were performed instead using an external VPLED variable pulse LED with an emission wavelength of 310 nm. The sample emission was directed to a sensitive R928P photomultiplier tube (PMT) allowing the detection of single photons with a peak quantum efficiency of up to 25% in the spectral range between 200 nm and 870 nm. The detector is a temperature-stabilized PMT providing dark counts below 300 cps (counts per second). Finally, to determine the transient decay lifetime of the delayed fluorescence, a tail fit using three exponential functions was applied. By substituting the corresponding amplitude A for the specific lifetime i For a specific lifetime τ i Weighted,
[0486]
[0487] Determine the delayed fluorescence lifetime τ DF .
[0488] Photoluminescence quantum yield measurement
[0489] For photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) measurements, an absolute PL quantum yield measurement C9920-03G system (Hamamatsu Photonics) was used. Quantum yield and CIE coordinates were determined using software U6039-05 version 3.6.0.
[0490] The emission maximum is given in nm, the quantum yield Φ is given in %, and the CIE coordinates are given as x-values, y-values.
[0491] Determine PLQY using the following protocol:
[0492] 1) Quality assurance: using anthracene in ethanol (known concentration) as a reference
[0493] 2) Excitation wavelength: Determine the absorption maximum of organic molecules and use this wavelength to excite organic molecules
[0494] 3) Measurement
[0495] The quantum yield was measured for samples of film (10 wt% emitter in PMMA) under nitrogen atmosphere. The yield was calculated using the equation:
[0496]
[0497] Among them, n 光子 represents photon counts and Int. represents intensity. For quality assurance, anthracene in ethanol (known concentration) was used as a reference.
[0498] TCSPC (Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting)
[0499] Excited state population dynamics were determined using an Edinburgh Instruments FS5 fluorescence spectrophotometer equipped with an emission monochromator, a temperature-stabilized photomultiplier tube as detector unit, and a pulsed LED (310 nm center wavelength, 910 ps pulse width) as excitation source. The samples were placed in cuvettes and flushed with nitrogen during the measurements.
[0500] Full decay dynamics
[0501] The full excited state population decay dynamics over several orders of magnitude in time and signal intensity were achieved by performing TCSPC measurements in four time windows: 200 ns, 1 μs, and 20 μs, as well as longer measurements spanning >80 μs. The measured time curves were then processed in the following way:
[0502] 1. Apply background correction by determining the mean signal level before excitation and subtraction.
[0503] 2. Align the time axis using the initial rise of the main signal as a reference.
[0504] 3. Scale the curves onto each other using overlapping measurement time zones.
[0505] 4. Merge the processed curves into one curve.
[0506] Data Analysis
[0507] Data analysis was performed using single or double exponential fitting of the transient fluorescence (PF) and delayed fluorescence (DF) decays, respectively. The ratio of delayed fluorescence to transient fluorescence (n value) was calculated by integrating the corresponding photoluminescence decays over time.
[0508]
[0509] The average excited-state lifetime was calculated by taking the average of the transient and delayed fluorescence decay times, weighted by the respective contributions of PF and DF.
[0510] Fabrication and characterization of optoelectronic devices
[0511] OLED devices including the organic molecules of the present invention can be fabricated via vacuum deposition. If a layer contains more than one compound, the weight percentage of the compound or compounds is given in %. The total weight percentage value is 100%, so if no value is given, the fraction of the compound is equal to the difference between the given value and 100%.
[0512] The non-optimized OLEDs were characterized using standard methods and measuring electroluminescence spectra and intensity-dependent external quantum efficiency (in %), which was calculated using the light detected by the photodiode and the current. The OLED device lifetime was derived from the change in luminance during operation at a constant current density. The LT50 value corresponds to the time point at which the measured luminance drops to 50% of the initial luminance. Similarly, the LT80 value corresponds to the time point at which the measured luminance drops to 80% of the initial luminance, the LT97 value corresponds to the time point at which the measured luminance drops to 97% of the initial luminance, and so on.
[0513] (e.g., using an increased current density) to perform accelerated lifetime measurements. For example, the following equation is used to determine the lifetime at 500 cd / m 2 The following LT80 values:
[0514]
[0515] Where L0 represents the initial brightness under the applied current density.
[0516] This value corresponds to the average of several (typically 2 to 8) pixels, giving the standard deviation between these pixels.The figure shows a data series for one OLED pixel.
[0517] HPLC-MS
[0518] The analysis was performed on HPLC-MS by Agilent (HPLC 1260 Infinity) with MS detector (single quadrupole).
[0519] For example, a typical HPLC method is as follows: a reverse phase column from Agilent, 3.0 mm × 100 mm, with a particle size of 2.7 μm (Poroshell 120EC-C18, 3.0 mm × 100 mm, 2.7 μm HPLC column) is used in HPLC. HPLC-MS measurements are performed at 45° C., typically with the following gradient:
[0520]
[0521] The following solvent mixtures were used (all solvents contained 0.1% (V / V) formic acid):
[0522] Solvent A: <![CDATA[H2O(10%)]]> MeCN (90%) Solvent B: <![CDATA[H2O(90%)]]> MeCN (10%) Solvent C: THF (50%) MeCN (50%)
[0523] The measurement was performed using an injection volume of 2 μL of a solution having an analyte concentration of 0.5 mg / mL.
[0524] Ionization of the probe was performed using an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source in positive (APCI+) or negative (APCI-) ionization mode or an atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) source.
