Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to organic molecules and their use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other optoelectronic devices. Background Technology
[0002] Optoelectronic devices containing one or more organic-based light-emitting layers, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), and light-emitting transistors, are becoming increasingly important. In particular, OLEDs are promising devices for electronic products such as screens, displays, and lighting devices. Compared to most electroluminescent devices that are essentially inorganic, organic optoelectronic devices based on organic materials are generally quite flexible and can be fabricated into particularly thin layers. Currently available OLED-based screens and displays exhibit good efficiency and long lifespan, or good color purity and long lifespan, but none combine all three properties: good efficiency, long lifespan, and good color purity.
[0003] Therefore, there remains an unmet technological need for optoelectronic devices with high quantum yield, long lifetime and good color purity.
[0004] The color purity or color point of an OLED is typically provided by CIEx and CIEy coordinates, while the color gamut of next-generation displays is provided by so-called BT-2020 and DCPI3 values. Generally, to achieve these color coordinates, a top-emitting device is required to adjust the color coordinates by changing the cavity. To achieve high efficiency while simultaneously targeting this color gamut in a top-emitting device, a narrow emission spectrum is needed within the top-emitting device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide molecules suitable for optoelectronic devices.
[0006] This objective is achieved by providing the present invention, which provides a new class of organic molecules.
[0007] The organic molecules according to the invention exhibit emission maximum values in the deep blue, sky blue, or green spectral range, preferably in the deep blue and sky blue spectral range, and most preferably in the deep blue spectral range. The organic molecules particularly exhibit emission maximum values from 420 nm to 520 nm, preferably from 440 nm to 495 nm, and more preferably from 450 nm to 475 nm. The photoluminescence quantum yield of the organic molecules according to the invention is particularly 50% or greater than 50%. The excited-state lifetime is not greater than 4 μs. Furthermore, the molecules of the invention particularly exhibit narrow emission, characterized by a small full width at half maximum (FWHM). Unless otherwise stated, the emission spectrum of the organic molecules preferably shows a FWHM less than or equal to 0.15 eV (≤0.15 eV), measured at room temperature (i.e., about 25 °C) using 2% by weight of poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA as the emitter. The photoluminescence quantum yield of the organic molecules according to the invention is particularly 50% or greater than 50%.
[0008] The use of the organic molecules according to the invention in optoelectronic devices (e.g., organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs)) results in narrow emission and high efficiency. The corresponding OLEDs exhibit higher stability than OLEDs containing known emitter materials and comparable colors, and / or, by using the organic molecules according to the invention in OLED displays, more accurate reproduction of visible colors in nature is achieved, i.e., higher resolution in displayed images. In particular, the molecules can be used in combination with energy pumps to achieve strong fluorescence or strong phosphorescence. In these cases, another substance contained in the optoelectronic device transfers energy to the organic molecules of the invention, which then emit light.

[0460] As used throughout this application, the term "cyclic group" may be understood in the broadest sense as any monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic part.
[0461] As used throughout this application, the terms “ring” and “ring system” may be understood in the broadest sense as any single-ring, double-ring, or multi-ring component.
[0462] As used throughout this application, the term "carbocyclic" in its broadest sense can be understood as any cyclic group in which the cyclic core structure comprises only carbon atoms, which may of course be substituted with hydrogen or any other substituent as defined in specific embodiments of the invention. It should be understood that the term "carbocyclic" as an adjective refers to a cyclic group in which the cyclic core structure comprises only carbon atoms, which may of course be substituted with hydrogen or any other substituent as defined in specific embodiments of the invention.
[0463] As used throughout this application, the term "heterocyclic" in its broadest sense can be understood as any cyclic group in which the cyclic core structure comprises not only carbon atoms but also at least one heteroatom. It should be understood that the term "heterocyclic" as an adjective refers to a cyclic group in which the cyclic core structure comprises not only carbon atoms but also at least one heteroatom. Unless otherwise stated in the specific embodiments, the heteroatom may be the same or different each time it appears and is independently selected from the group consisting of N, O, S, and Se. In the context of this invention, all carbon atoms or heteroatoms contained in a heterocyclic ring may, of course, be substituted with hydrogen or any other substituent as defined in the specific embodiments of this invention.
[0464] As used throughout this application, the term "aromatic ring system" may be understood in its broadest sense as any bicyclic or polycyclic aromatic component.
[0465] As used throughout this application, the term "heterocyclic aromatic system" may be understood in the broadest sense as any bicyclic or polycyclic heterocyclic aromatic moiety.
[0466] As used throughout this application, the term "fused" when referring to an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system means that the "fused" aromatic or heteroaromatic rings share at least one bond, which is part of two ring systems. For example, in the context of this invention, naphthalene (or naphthyl as a substituent) or benzothiophene (or benzothiophene as a substituent) is considered a fused aromatic ring system in which two benzene rings (for naphthalene) or thiophene and benzene (for benzothiophene) share a bond. It should also be understood that sharing a bond in this context includes sharing two atoms constituting the respective bond, and a fused aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system can be understood as a single aromatic or heteroaromatic system. Furthermore, it should be understood that more than one bond can be shared by the aromatic or heteroaromatic rings constituting the fused aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system (e.g., in pyrene). Furthermore, it should be understood that aliphatic ring systems can also be fused, and this has the same meaning as aromatic or heteroaromatic ring systems, except that fused aliphatic ring systems are not aromatic.
[0467] As used throughout this application, the terms "aryl" and "aromatic" can be understood in the broadest sense as any monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic aromatic moiety. Thus, 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 the application, the number of aromatic ring atoms may be given by subscript numbers in the definitions of certain substituents. Specifically, a heteroaromatic ring includes 1 to 3 heteroatoms. Furthermore, the terms "heteroaryl" and "heteroaromatic" can be understood in the broadest sense as any monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic heteroaromatic moiety including at least one heteroatom. Unless otherwise stated in the specific embodiments, the heteroatom may be the same or different each time it appears and is independently selected from the group consisting of N, O, S, and Se. Thus, the term "arylene" refers to a divalent substituent having two binding sites with other molecular structures and thus serving as a linker structure. If the group in the exemplary embodiments is defined differently from the definition given herein, for example, if the number of aromatic ring atoms or heteroatoms differs from the given definition, the definition in the exemplary embodiments shall apply. According to the invention, a fused (cyclized) aromatic or heteroaromatic polycyclic ring consists of two or more individual aromatic or heteroaromatic rings that form a polycyclic ring via a condensation reaction.

[0476] 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 as if it were a segment (e.g., naphthyl, dibenzofuranyl) or as if it were a whole molecule (e.g., naphthalene, dibenzofuran). As used herein, these different ways of specifying substituents or attached segments are considered equivalent.
[0477] All hydrogen atoms (H) contained in any structure mentioned herein may be replaced by deuterium (D) each time they appear, independently of each other, unless otherwise specified. Substituting hydrogen with deuterium is a common practice and will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, there are many known methods that can achieve this, and several review articles describe them (see, for example: A. Michelotti, M. Roche, Synthesis 2019, 51(06), 1319–1328, DOI:10.1055 / s-0037-1610405; J. Atzrodt, V. Derdau, T. Fey, J. Zimmermann, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 46(15), 7744–7765, DOI:10.1002 / anie.200700039; Y. Sawama, Y. Monguchi, H. Sajiki, Synlett 2012, 23(7), 959–972, DOI:10.1055 / s-0031-1289696).
[0478] The excited-state lifetime consists of multiple components. For example, in the case of a TADF emitter, it consists of transient fluorescence, typically on the order of nanoseconds, and delayed fluorescence, typically on the order of microseconds. Since the delayed fluorescence is three orders of magnitude larger, the transient fluorescence is insignificant, meaning that the excited-state lifetime can be estimated by the lifetime of the delayed fluorescence.
[0479] In one embodiment, the organic molecules according to the invention have an excited-state lifetime of not more than 10 μs, not more than 8 μs, especially not more than 6 μs, more preferably not more than 5 μs or not more than 4 μs, and even more preferably not more than 3 μs in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film having 1-5 wt% or more, particularly 2 wt% of organic molecules at room temperature (i.e., about 25 °C).

[0481] In other embodiments, the organic molecules according to the invention have excited-state lifetimes of no more than 10 μs, no more than 8 μs, especially no more than 6 μs, more preferably no more than 5 μs or no more than 4 μs, and even more preferably no more than 3 μs in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film having 1-5 wt% or more, particularly 2 wt% of organic molecules, at room temperature (i.e., about 25°C). The full width at half maximum (FWHM) is less than 0.23 eV, preferably less than 0.20 eV, more preferably less than 0.19 eV, and even more preferably less than 0.15 eV or even less than 0.12 eV.
[0482] Unless otherwise stated, in the context of organic molecules according to the invention, the excited-state lifetime is equal to or determined by the delayed fluorescence lifetime or delayed fluorescence decay time.
[0483] In other embodiments of the invention, the organic molecules according to the invention have emission peaks in the visible or near-ultraviolet range, i.e., in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 800 nm, in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film having 2% by weight of the organic molecules at room temperature, wherein the full width at half maximum (FWHM) is less than 0.23 eV, preferably less than 0.20 eV, more preferably less than 0.19 eV, even more preferably less than 0.15 eV, or even less than 0.12 eV.
[0484] Orbital and excited-state energies can be determined experimentally or through calculations using quantum chemical methods, particularly density functional theory. The highest occupied molecular orbital energy is E0. HOMO The energy was determined by cyclic voltammetry with an accuracy of 0.1 eV using methods known to those skilled in the art. The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital E LUMO The energy was determined as the starting point of the absorption spectrum.
[0485] The start of the absorption spectrum is determined by calculating the intersection of the tangent to the absorption spectrum with the x-axis. The tangent to the absorption spectrum is set on the low-energy side of the absorption band, at the point at half-peak of the maximum intensity of the absorption spectrum.
[0486] Unless otherwise stated, the energy of the first excited triplet state T1 is determined by the start of the phosphorescence spectrum (steady-state spectrum; a film of PMMA with 2% by weight emitter) at 77 K.
[0487] Unless otherwise stated, the energy of the first excited singlet state S1 is determined by the start of the fluorescence spectrum at room temperature (i.e., about 25°C; steady-state spectrum; a film of PMMA with 2% by weight of emitter).
[0488] The start of the emission spectrum is determined by calculating the intersection of the tangent to the emission spectrum with the x-axis. The tangent to the emission spectrum is set on the high-energy side of the emission band, at the point at half-peak of the maximum intensity of the emission spectrum.
[0489] ΔE corresponds to the energy difference between the first excited singlet state (S1) and the first excited triplet state (T1). ST The value is determined based on the first excited singlet state energy and the first excited triplet state energy as described above.

[0585] In other respects, the present invention relates to optoelectronic devices comprising organic molecules or compositions of the type described herein, and more specifically, to devices selected from the group consisting of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), light-emitting electrochemical cells, OLED sensors, more specifically gas and vapor sensors without hermetically shielded external surfaces, organic diodes, organic solar cells, organic transistors, organic field-effect transistors, organic lasers, and down-conversion elements.
[0586] In a preferred embodiment, the optoelectronic device is a device selected from the group consisting of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), and light-emitting transistors.
[0587] In one embodiment of the optoelectronic device of the present invention, the organic molecule E according to the present invention is used as the emitting material in the light-emitting layer EML.
[0588] In one embodiment of the optoelectronic device of the present invention, the light-emitting layer EML is composed of the composition of the present invention as described herein.
[0589] When the optoelectronic device is an OLED, it can have, for example, the following layer structure:
[0590] 1. Substrate
[0591] 2. Anode, A
[0592] 3. Hole injection layer, HIL
[0593] 4. Hole transport layer, HTL
[0594] 5. Electron blocking layer, EBL

[0601] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the optoelectronic device may include one or more protective layers that protect the device from damage caused by exposure to harmful substances in the environment, including, for example, moisture, vapor and / or gases.
[0602] In one embodiment of the invention, the optoelectronic device is an OLED having the following inverted layer structure:
[0603] 1. Substrate
[0604] 2. Cathode, C
[0605] 3. Electron Injection Layer (EIL)
[0606] 4. Electronic Transport Layer (ETL)

[0614] In one embodiment of the invention, the optoelectronic device is an OLED, which may have a stacked structure. In this structure, contrary to a typical arrangement in which OLEDs are placed side by side, the individual units are stacked on top of each other. OLEDs exhibiting a stacked structure can be used to generate mixed light, particularly white light can be generated by stacking blue, green, and red OLEDs. Furthermore, OLEDs exhibiting a stacked structure may include a charge-generating layer (CGL), which is typically located between two OLED sub-units and typically consists of an n-doped layer and a p-doped layer, with the n-doped layer of one CGL typically located closer to the anode.
[0615] In one embodiment of the invention, the optoelectronic device is an OLED, which includes two or more light-emitting layers between an anode and a cathode. Specifically, this so-called tandem OLED includes three light-emitting layers, one emitting red light, one emitting green light, and one emitting blue light, and optionally may include other layers, such as charge-generating layers, blocking layers, or transport layers between the respective light-emitting layers. In other embodiments, the light-emitting layers are stacked adjacent to each other. In other embodiments, the tandem OLED includes a charge-generating layer between every two light-emitting layers. Furthermore, adjacent light-emitting layers or light-emitting layers separated by charge-generating layers may be combined.
[0616] The substrate can be formed from any material or combination of materials. Most commonly, a glass sheet is used as the substrate. Alternatively, a thin metal layer (e.g., a copper, gold, silver, or aluminum film) or a plastic film or sheet can be used. This allows for a higher degree of flexibility. The anode A is primarily composed of a material that allows for a (substantially) transparent film. Since at least one of the two electrodes should be (substantially) transparent to allow light emission from the OLED, either the anode A or the cathode C is transparent. Preferably, the anode A contains a large amount of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) or is even composed of transparent conductive oxide (TCO). Such an anode A can, for example, contain indium tin oxide, zinc aluminum 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.
[0617] Anode A can (basically) be made of indium tin oxide (ITO) (e.g., (InO3)). 0.9 (SnO2) 0.1The anode A is composed of a hole injection layer (HIL). The roughness of the anode A caused by the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) can be compensated by using a hole injection layer (HIL). Furthermore, the hole injection layer (HIL) can promote the injection of quasi-charge carriers (i.e., holes) by facilitating the transport of quasi-charge carriers from the TCO to the hole transport layer (HTL). The hole injection layer (HIL) can contain poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), MoO2, V2O5, CuPC, or CuI, particularly a mixture of PEDOT and PSS. The hole injection layer (HIL) also prevents metal from diffusing from the anode A into the hole transport layer (HTL). Hole injection layer (HIL) may, for example, contain PEDOT:PSS (poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate), PEDOT (poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)), mMTDATA (4,4',4”-tris[phenyl(m-tolyl)amino]triphenylamine), spiro-TAD (2,2',7,7'-tetratetra(N,N-diphenylamino)-9,9'-spirodifluorene), 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'-bisphenyl-(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'-tetra(4-methoxyphenyl)benzidine), HAT-CN (1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenyl-hexacarboxynitrile) and / or spiro-NPD (N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-9,9'-spirodifluorene-2,7-diamine).
[0618] The hole transport layer (HTL) is typically positioned adjacent to the anode A or the hole injection layer (HIL). Any hole transport compound can be used herein. For example, electron-rich heteroaromatic compounds such as triarylamines and / or carbazole can be used as hole transport compounds. The hole transport layer (HTL) can lower the energy barrier between the anode A and the emissive 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) can contain star-shaped heterocycles such as tris(4-carbazole-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA), poly-TPD (poly(4-butylphenyl-diphenylamine)), [α]-NPD (N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(1-naphthyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine), TAPC (4,4'-cyclohexylene-bis[N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)aniline]), 2-TNATA (4,4',4”-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine), spiro-TAD, DNTPD, NPB, NPNPB, M eO-TPD, HAT-CN, and / or Tris-Pcz (9,9'-diphenyl-6-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-9H,9'H-3,3'-bicarbazole). Furthermore, the hole transport layer (HTL) may comprise a p-doped layer, which may consist of inorganic or organic dopants in an organic hole transport matrix. Transition metal oxides such as vanadium oxide, molybdenum oxide, or tungsten oxide can be used, for example, as inorganic dopants. Tetrafluorotetracyanoquinone dimethyl ether (F4-TCNQ), cuprous pentafluorobenzoate (Cu(I)pFBz), or transition metal complexes can be used, for example, as organic dopants.
[0619] The electron blocking layer (EBL) may include, for example, mCP (1,3-bis(carbazole-9-yl)benzene), TCTA, 2-TNATA, mCBP (3,3-bis(9H-carbazole-9-yl)biphenyl), Tris-Pcz, CzSi (9-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-3,6-bis(triphenylsilyl)-9H-carbazole) and / or DCB (N,N'-dicarbazole-1,4-dimethylbenzene).
[0620] The emissive layer (EML) is typically positioned adjacent to the hole transport layer (HTL). The EML contains at least one organic molecule. Specifically, the EML contains at least one organic molecule E according to the invention. In one embodiment, the EML contains only the organic molecule E according to the invention. Typically, the EML additionally contains one or more host compounds. For example, the host compound is selected from CBP (4,4'-bis(N-carbazolyl)biphenyl), mCP, mCBP, Sif87 ((dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-2-yl)triphenylsilane), CzSi, Sif88 ((dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-2-yl)diphenylsilane), DPEPO (bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether oxide), 9-[3-(dibenzofuran-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3-(dibenzothiophene-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, etc. [3,5-bis(2-dibenzofuranyl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3,5-bis(2-dibenzothiophenyl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, T2T (2,4,6-tris(biphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine), T3T (2,4,6-tris(triphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine) and / or TST (2,4,6-tris(9,9'-spirodifluorene-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine). The host compound should generally be chosen to exhibit a first triplet (T1) and a first singlet (S1) energy level, which are energies higher than the first triplet (T1) and first singlet (S1) energy levels of the organic molecule. Alternatively, the luminescent layer EML additionally comprises one or more host compounds, wherein the host compound is a triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) material. The TTA material can convert energy from the first excited triplet state T1 to the first excited singlet state S1 via triplet-triplet annihilation. The TTA material should be chosen such that the energy of the lowest excited triplet state T1 of the TTA material is greater than twice the energy of the lowest excited singlet state S1 of the organic molecule according to the invention, i.e., 2T1 (TTA material) > S1 (organic molecule according to the invention).
[0621] In one embodiment of the invention, the luminescent layer 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 luminescent layer EML comprises only one organic molecule according to the invention and a hybrid host system comprising T2T as an electron-dominant host and selected from CBP, mCP, mCBP, 9-[3-(dibenzofuran-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3-(dibenzothiophene-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3,5-bis(2-dibenzofuranyl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole and 9-[3,5-bis(2-dibenzothiophene)phenyl]-9H-carbazole as a hole-dominant host. In other embodiments, the luminescent layer EML comprises 50-80 wt%, preferably 60-75 wt%, of a host 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-dibenzothiophenyl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole; 10-45 wt%, preferably 15-30 wt%, of T2T; and 5-40 wt%, preferably 10-30 wt%, of an organic molecule according to the invention.
[0622] The electron transport layer (ETL) can be positioned adjacent to the luminescent layer (EML). Any electron transporter can be used herein. Exemplarily, electron-depleted compounds can be used, such as benzimidazole, pyridine, triazole, oxadiazole (e.g., 1,3,4-oxadiazole), phosphine oxide, and sulfone. The electron transporter can also be a star-shaped heterocycle, such as 1,3,5-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)benzene (TPBi).

Optionally, the electron transport layer (ETL) can be doped with a material such as Liq. The electron transport layer (ETL) can also block holes, or a hole blocking layer (HBL) can be introduced.
[0623] Hole blocking layers (HBLs) may, for example, contain BCP (2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline = Bathocoproline), BAlq (bis(8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline)-(4-phenylphenoxy)aluminum), NBphen (2,9-bis(naphthyl-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline), Alq3 (aluminum-tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)), TSPO1 (diphenyl- 4-Triphenylsilylphenylphosphine oxide), T2T (2,4,6-tris(biphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine), T3T (2,4,6-tris(tribiphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine), TST (2,4,6-tris(9,9'-spirodifluorene-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine) and / or TCB / TCP (1,3,5-tris(N-carbazolyl)benzene / 1,3,5-tris(carbazolyl-9-yl)benzene).
[0624] The cathode C can be positioned adjacent to the electron transport layer (ETL). The cathode C can, for example, comprise 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 be composed of a metal (e.g., Al, Au, Ag, Pt, Cu, Zn, Ni, Fe, Pb, LiF, Ca, Ba, Mg, In, W, or Pd) or a metal alloy.

[0737] Production and characterization of optoelectronic devices
[0738] Optoelectronic devices, such as OLED devices, containing organic molecules according to the invention can be produced via a vacuum evaporation method. If the layer contains more than one compound, the weight percentage of the one or more compounds is given as %. The total weight percentage value is equal to 100%, so if no value is given, the fraction of the compound is equal to the difference between the given value and 100%.
[0739] (Incompletely optimized) OLEDs are characterized using standard methods and measurements of electroluminescence spectrum, intensity-dependent external quantum efficiency (in percentage) (calculated using light detected by a photodiode), and current. The OLED device lifetime is extracted from the change in brightness during operation at a constant current density. The LT50 value corresponds to the time point where the measured brightness decreases to 50% of the initial brightness; similarly, the LT80 value corresponds to the time point where the measured brightness decreases to 80% of the initial brightness, the LT95 value corresponds to the time point where the measured brightness decreases to 95% of the initial brightness, and so on.
[0740] Perform accelerated lifetime measurements (e.g., apply increased current density). At 500 cd / m 2 The following exemplary LT80 value is determined using the following equation:
[0741]
[0742] Where L0 represents the initial brightness at the applied current density.
[0743] These values correspond to the average of several pixels (usually 2 to 8), and give the standard deviation between these pixels.

[0746] For example, a typical HPLC method is as follows: An Agilent reversed-phase column (3.0 mm × 100 mm, 2.7 μm particle size, Poroshell 120EC-C18, 3.0 x 100 mm, 2.7 μm HPLC column) is used in the HPLC. HPLC-MS measurements are performed at room temperature (rt) according to the following gradient.
[0747]
