[0134] Whenever hydrogen (H) is mentioned here, it can also be replaced by deuterium each time it appears.
[0135] It will be understood that when a molecular fragment is described as a substituent or otherwise attached to another part, its name may be written as if it were a fragment (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 fragments are considered equivalent.
[0136] In one embodiment, the organic molecules according to the invention have an excited-state lifetime of no more than 25 μs, no more than 15 μs, specifically no more than 10 μs, more preferably no more than 8 μs, or no more than 6 μs, or even more preferably no more than 4 μs, in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film containing 10 wt% organic molecules at room temperature.
[0137] In one embodiment of the invention, the organic molecule according to the invention represents a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter, which exhibits an emission frequency of less than 5000 cm⁻¹. -1 (Preferably less than 3000cm) -1 More preferably less than 1500cm -1 or even more preferably less than 1000cm -1 Or even less than 500cm -1 The energy difference ΔE between the first excited singlet state (S1) and the first excited triplet state (T1) corresponds to the energy difference between them. ST value.
[0138] In another embodiment of the invention, the organic molecules according to the invention have an emission peak in the visible or near-ultraviolet range (i.e., in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 800 nm) and a full width at half maximum (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) in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film containing 10% by weight of the organic molecules at room temperature.
[0139] Orbital and excited-state energies can be determined experimentally or through calculations using quantum chemical methods (specifically, density functional theory calculations). The highest occupied molecular orbital energy (E0) HOMO The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (E0) was determined by cyclic voltammetry with an accuracy of 0.1 eV using methods known to those skilled in the art. LUMO) is calculated as E HOMO +E gap E gap The following determination was made: For the host compound, unless otherwise specified, the starting point of the emission spectrum of a pure film having a host of 10% by weight in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was used as the E. gap For emitter molecules, E gap The energy at which the excitation and emission spectra of a film having 10% emitter in PMMA cross.
[0140] The energy of the first excited triplet state (T1) is determined by the starting point of the emission spectrum at low temperature (typically, 77 K). For host compounds where the energy difference between the first excited singlet state and the lowest triplet state is >0.4 eV, phosphorescence is usually visible in the steady-state spectrum in 2-Me-THF. Therefore, the triplet state energy can be determined as the starting point of the phosphorescence spectrum. For TADF emitter molecules, unless otherwise specified, the energy of the first excited triplet state (T1) is determined by the starting point of the delayed emission spectrum at 77 K, measured in a PMMA film containing 10 wt% emitter. For both host and emitter compounds, the energy of the first excited singlet state (S1) is determined by the starting point of the emission spectrum (measured as follows: TADF emitter: 10 wt% concentration in a PMMA film; host: pure film).
[0141] The starting point 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 at the high-energy side of the emission band and at the point of half maximum intensity of the emission spectrum.

[0229] Optoelectronic devices
[0230] In another aspect, the invention relates to an optoelectronic device comprising organic molecules or compositions as described herein, and more specifically, the optoelectronic device is in the form of a device selected from the group consisting of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), light-emitting electrochemical cells, OLED sensors (more specifically, gas sensors and vapor sensors that are not externally sealed and isolated), organic diodes, organic solar cells, organic transistors, organic field-effect transistors, organic lasers, and down-conversion elements.
[0231] In a preferred embodiment, the organic optoelectronic device is selected from the group consisting of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), and light-emitting transistors.
[0232] In one embodiment of the optoelectronic device of the invention, the organic molecule according to the invention is used as the emitting material in the light-emitting layer (EML).
[0233] In one embodiment of the optoelectronic device of the invention, the light-emitting layer (EML) is composed of the composition according to the invention described herein.
[0234] For example, when the organic optoelectronic device is an OLED, it can exhibit the following layer structure:
[0235] 1. Base
[0236] 2. Anode layer, A
[0237] 3. Hole injection layer, HIL
[0238] 4. Hole transport layer, HTL
[0239] 5. Electron blocking layer, EBL
[0240] 6. Emitting layer, EML
[0241] 7. Hole blocking layer, HBL
[0242] 8. Electron Transport Layer (ETL)
[0243] 9. Electron Injection Layer (EIL)
[0244] 10. Cathode layer, C,
[0245] OLEDs consist of each layer, and alternatively, different layers may be combined. An OLED may include more than one layer of each of the layer types defined above.
[0246] In addition, the optoelectronic device may optionally 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.
[0247] In one embodiment of the invention, the optoelectronic device is an OLED exhibiting the following inverted layer structure:
[0248] 1. Base
[0249] 2. Cathode layer, C
[0250] 3. Electron Injection Layer (EIL)
[0251] 4. Electron Transport Layer (ETL)
[0252] 5. Hole blocking layer, HBL
[0253] 6. Emitting layer, EML
[0254] 7. Electron blocking layer, EBL
[0255] 8. Hole Transport Layer (HTL)
[0256] 9. Hole injection layer, HIL
[0257] 10. Anode layer, A,
[0258] OLEDs with inverted layer structures include each layer, and alternatively, different layers may be combined. An OLED may include more than one layer of each of the layer types defined above.
[0259] In one embodiment of the invention, the optoelectronic device is an OLED that can exhibit a stacked architecture. In this architecture, contrary to a typical arrangement in which OLEDs are placed side by side, the individual units are stacked on top of each other. Mixed light can be generated using an OLED exhibiting a stacked architecture; specifically, white light can be generated by stacking blue OLEDs, green OLEDs, and red OLEDs. Furthermore, an OLED exhibiting a stacked architecture may optionally include a charge generation 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 a CGL typically located close to the anode layer.
[0260] In one embodiment of the invention, the optoelectronic device is an OLED comprising two or more emitting layers between the anode and cathode. Specifically, this so-called tandem OLED comprises three emitting layers, wherein one emitting layer emits red light, one emitting green light, and one emitting blue light, and optionally, layers such as charge-generating layers, blocking layers, or transport layers may be further included between the respective emitting layers. In another embodiment, the emitting layers are stacked adjacent to each other. In yet another embodiment, the tandem OLED includes a charge-generating layer between every two emitting layers. Additionally, adjacent emitting layers or emitting layers separated by charge-generating layers may be merged.
[0261] The substrate can be formed from any material or combination of materials. Most commonly, a glass slide is used as the substrate. Alternatively, a thin metal layer (e.g., a copper, gold, silver, or aluminum film) or a plastic film or glass slide can be used. This allows for a higher degree of flexibility. The anode layer (A) is primarily composed of materials that allow for a (substantially) transparent film. Since at least one of the two electrodes should be (substantially) transparent to allow light emission from the OLED, the anode layer (A) or cathode layer (C) is transparent. Preferably, the anode layer (A) comprises a large amount of transparent conductive oxide (TCO), or is even composed of transparent conductive oxide (TCO). Such an anode layer (A) can, for example, include 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.
[0262] Preferably, the anode layer (A) is (essentially) made of indium tin oxide (ITO) (e.g., (InO3)). 0.9 (SnO2) 0.1The anode layer (A) can be composed of a hole injection layer (HIL). The roughness of the anode layer (A) caused by the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) can be compensated by using a hole injection layer (HIL). Furthermore, the HIL can promote the injection of quasi-charge carriers (i.e., holes) because the transport of quasi-charge carriers from the TCO to the hole transport layer (HTL) is facilitated. The hole injection layer (HIL) can 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) also prevents metal from diffusing from the anode layer (A) into the hole transport layer (HTL). HIL can include 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'-tetra(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'-bis-phenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine), NPNPB(N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di-[4-(N,N-diphenyl-amino)phenyl]benzidine), MeO-TPD(N,N,N',N'-tetra(4-methoxyphenyl)benzidine), HAT-CN(2,3,6,7,10,11-hexacyano-1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenyl) and / or spiro-NPD(N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(1-naphthyl)-9,9'-spirodifluorene-2,7-diamine).
[0263] Adjacent to the anode layer (A) or hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL) is typically located. Any hole transport compound can be used here. Exemplarily, electron-rich heteroaromatic compounds such as triarylamines and / or carbazole can be used as hole transport compounds. The HTL can lower 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-carbazole-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA), poly-TPD (poly(4-butylphenyl-diphenylamine)), α-NPD (2,2'-dimethyl-N,N'-di[(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl]-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine), 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, NP Star-shaped heterocycles of NPB, MeO-TPD, HAT-CN, and / or Tris-Pcz (9,9'-diphenyl-6-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-9H,9'H-3,3'-bicarbazole). Additionally, HTLs may include p-doped layers composed 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 as inorganic dopants. Tetrafluorotetracyanoquinone dimethyl ether (F4-TCNQ), copper pentafluorobenzoate (Cu(I)pFBz), or transition metal complexes can be used as organic dopants.
[0264] EBLs may include 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).
[0265] Adjacent to the hole transport layer (HTL), a light-emitting layer (EML) is typically positioned. The light-emitting layer (EML) comprises at least one organic molecule. Specifically, the EML comprises at least one organic molecule (E) according to the invention. Typically, the EML additionally comprises one or more host materials (H). Exemplarily, the host material (H) is selected from CBP (4,4'-bis(N-carbazolyl)biphenyl), mCP, mCBP, Sif87 (dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-2-yltriphenylsilane), CzSi, Sif88 (dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-2-yldiphenylsilane), DPEPO (bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl] ether oxide), 9-[3-(dibenzofuran-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3-(dibenzothiophene- [2-[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 material should typically be selected to exhibit a first triplet (T1) energy level and a first singlet (S1) energy level that are higher in energy than those of the organic molecule.
[0266] 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 and a hybrid host system according to the invention, the hybrid host system comprising T2T as the electron-dominant host and a host 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 the hole-dominant host. In another embodiment, the EML comprises 50% to 80% by weight (preferably 60% to 75% by weight) of a body, 10% to 45% by weight (preferably 15% to 30% by weight) of T2T, and 5% to 40% by weight (preferably 10% to 30% by weight) of an organic molecule according to the invention, the body being 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.
[0267] Adjacent to the luminescent layer (EML), an electron transport layer (ETL) may be positioned. Any electron transporter can be used here. Exemplarily, electron-depleted compounds such as benzimidazole, pyridine, triazole, oxadiazole (e.g., 1,3,4-oxadiazole), phosphine oxide, and sulfone can be used. The electron transporter can also be a star-shaped heterocycle such as 1,3,5-tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)benzene (TPBi). ETLs may include NBphen (2,9-bis(naphthyl-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]thiophene-2-yltriphenylsilane), Sif88 (dibenzo[b,d]thiophene-2-yldiphenylsilane), BmPyPhB (1,3-bis[3,5-bis(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 materials such as Liq. Electron transport layer (ETL) can also block holes, or a hole blocking layer (HBL) can be introduced.
[0268] HBLs can include, for example, BCP (2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline), BAlq (bis(8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline)-(4-phenylphenoxy)aluminum), NBphen (2,9-bis(naphthyl-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline), Alq3 (tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum), and TSPO1 (diphenyl-4-triphenylsilyl) Phenylphosphine oxide), T2T (2,4,6-tris(biphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine), T3T (2,4,6-tris(biphenyl-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).
[0269] The cathode layer (C) can be positioned adjacent to the electron transport layer (ETL). For example, the cathode layer (C) can 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 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. Optionally or additionally, the cathode layer (C) can also comprise graphite and / or carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Optionally, the cathode layer (C) can also be composed of nanoscale silver wires.
[0270] The OLED may 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 (lithium 8-hydroxyquinoline), Li2O, BaF2, MgO and / or NaF.
[0271] Optionally, the electron transport layer (ETL) and / or hole blocking layer (HBL) may also include one or more host compounds.
[0272] To further modify the emission and / or absorption spectra of the emissive layer (EML), the EML may further include one or more other emitter molecules (F). Such emitter molecules (F) can be any emitter molecule known in the art. Preferably, such emitter molecules (F) are molecules having a structure different from that of the organic molecule according to the invention. The emitter molecule (F) may optionally be a TADF emitter. Alternatively, the emitter molecule (F) may optionally be a fluorescent and / or phosphorescent emitter molecule capable of shifting the emission and / or absorption spectra of the EML. For example, by emitting light that is typically redshifted compared to light emitted by the organic molecule (E), triplet and / or singlet excitons can transfer from the organic molecule according to the invention to the emitter molecule (F) before relaxing to the ground state (S0). Optionally, the emitter molecule (F) may also induce a two-photon effect (i.e., absorption of half the energy of the maximum absorption value of the two photons).
[0273] Optionally, the optoelectronic device (e.g., OLED) can be, for example, a substantially white optoelectronic device. Exemplarily, such a white optoelectronic device may include at least one (deep) blue emitter molecule and one or more emitter molecules that emit green and / or red light. Then, energy transmittance may optionally exist between the two or more molecules as described above.
[0274] As used herein, unless otherwise defined in the specific context, the color of the emitted and / or absorbed light is specified as follows:
[0275] Purple: Wavelength range from >380nm to 420nm;
[0276] Deep blue: wavelength range >420nm to 480nm;
[0277] Sky blue: >480nm to 500nm wavelength range;
[0278] Green: Wavelength range >500nm to 560nm;
[0279] Yellow: Wavelength range >560nm to 580nm;
[0280] Orange: Wavelength range from >580nm to 620nm;
[0281] Red: Wavelength range from 620nm to 800nm.
[0282] For emitter molecules, this color refers to the emission maximum. Thus, for example, a dark 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.
[0283] The green emitter can preferably have a maximum emission value between 500 and 560 nm, more preferably between 510 and 550 nm, and even more preferably between 520 and 540 nm.
[0284] Another embodiment of the invention relates to an OLED that emits light having CIEx and CIEy color coordinates (CIEx = 0.170, CIEy = 0.797) (these CIEx and CIEy color coordinates (CIEx = 0.170, CIEy = 0.797) are close to the CIEx (= 0.170), CIEy (= 0.797) color coordinates of the primary color green 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). In this context, the term "close to" 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 device used throughout this application represents a bottom-emitting device (bottom electrode and substrate are transparent). Therefore, another aspect of the present invention relates to an OLED whose emission exhibits CIEx color coordinates between 0.06 and 0.34 (preferably between 0.07 and 0.29, more preferably between 0.09 and 0.24, or even more preferably between 0.12 and 0.22, or even more preferably between 0.14 and 0.19) and / or CIEy color coordinates between 0.44 and 0.84 (preferably between 0.55 and 0.83, more preferably between 0.65 and 0.82, or even more preferably between 0.70 and 0.81, or even more preferably between 0.75 and 0.8).
[0285] Therefore, another aspect of the present invention relates to an OLED that has a density of 14500 cd / m². 2It exhibits an external quantum efficiency greater than 10% (more preferably greater than 13%, more preferably greater than 15%, even more preferably greater than 17%, or even greater than 20%), and / or exhibits a maximum emission value between 495 nm and 580 nm (preferably between 500 nm and 560 nm, more preferably between 510 nm and 550 nm, even more preferably between 510 nm and 540 nm), and / or at 14500 cd / m². 2 The LT97 value exhibits a value 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).

[0375] Fabrication and characterization of organic optoelectronic devices
[0376] Optoelectronic devices (such as OLED devices) comprising organic molecules according to the invention can be fabricated via vacuum deposition. If the layer contains more than one compound, the weight percentage of one or more compounds is given as %. The total weight percentage value totals 100%, so if no value is given, the fraction of the compound is equal to the difference between the given value and 100%.
[0377] The (not fully optimized) OLED was characterized using standard methods and measurements of electroluminescence spectra. External quantum efficiency (in percentage) depends on intensity and is calculated using light and current detected by a photodiode. OLED device lifetime was extracted from changes in brightness during operation at a constant current density. The LT50 value corresponds to the time point when the measured brightness decreases to 50% of the initial brightness; similarly, the LT80 value corresponds to the time point when the measured brightness decreases to 80% of the initial brightness, and the LT95 value corresponds to the time point when the measured brightness decreases to 95% of the initial brightness, and so on.
