Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to organic electroluminescent compounds and organic electroluminescent devices comprising the same. More particularly, it relates to a compound formed by bonding an indole-pyrrole fused nitrogen macrocycle to an aryl or heteroaryl group, and organic electroluminescent devices and combinations thereof comprising the compound. Background Technology
[0002] Organic electronic devices include, but are not limited to, the following: organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field-effect transistors (O-FETs), organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs), organic photovoltaic devices (COPVs), dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), organic optical detectors, organic photoreceptors, organic field-effect devices (OFQDs), luminescent electrochemical cells (LEGS), organic laser diodes, and organic plasma light-emitting devices.
[0003] In 1987, Tang and Van Slyke of Eastman Kodak reported a bilayer organic electroluminescent device comprising an arylamine hole transport layer and a tri-8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum layer as the electron transport layer and the light-emitting layer (Applied Physics Letters, 1987, 51(12): 913-915). Once a bias voltage was applied to the device, green light was emitted. This invention laid the foundation for the development of modern organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). State-of-the-art OLEDs can include multiple layers, such as a charge injection transport layer, a charge and exciton blocking layer, and one or more light-emitting layers between the cathode and anode. Because OLEDs are self-emissive solid-state devices, they offer enormous potential for display and lighting applications. Furthermore, the inherent properties of organic materials, such as their flexibility, make them well-suited for specialized applications, such as in the fabrication of flexible substrates.
[0004] OLEDs can be categorized into three different types based on their light-emitting mechanism. The OLED invented by Tang and Van Slyke is a fluorescent OLED. It uses only singlet state emission. The triplet state generated in the device is wasted through non-radiative decay channels. Therefore, the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of fluorescent OLEDs is only 25%. This limitation hindered the commercialization of OLEDs. In 1997, Forrest and Thompson reported phosphorescent OLEDs, which use triplet emission from complexed heavy metals as the emitter. Therefore, both singlet and triplet states can be harvested, achieving 100% IQE. Due to its high efficiency, the discovery and development of phosphorescent OLEDs directly contributed to the commercialization of active-matrix OLEDs (AMOLEDs). Recently, Adachi achieved high efficiency through thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) of organic compounds. These emitters have small singlet-triple state gaps, making it possible for excitons to return from the doublet state to the singlet state. In TADF devices, triplet excitons can generate singlet excitons through reverse intersystem crossing, resulting in high IQE.
[0005] OLEDs can also be classified into small-molecule OLEDs and polymer OLEDs based on the form of the materials used. Small molecules refer to any organic or organometallic material that is not a polymer. Small molecules can have large molecular weights, provided they have a precise structure. Dendritic polymers with well-defined structures are considered small molecules. Polymer OLEDs include conjugated polymers and non-conjugated polymers with side-chain luminescent groups. Small-molecule OLEDs can become polymer OLEDs if post-polymerization occurs during manufacturing. Various OLED manufacturing methods exist. Small-molecule OLEDs are typically manufactured by vacuum thermal evaporation. Polymer OLEDs are manufactured using solution methods such as spin coating, inkjet printing, and nozzle printing. Small-molecule OLEDs can also be manufactured using solution methods if the material can be dissolved or dispersed in a solvent.
[0006] The emission color of OLEDs can be achieved through the design of the luminescent material structure. OLEDs can include one or more luminescent layers to achieve the desired spectrum. Phosphorescent materials have been successfully commercialized for green, yellow, and red OLEDs. Currently, the rapid decrease in efficiency of phosphorescent OLEDs at high brightness remains a problem. Furthermore, a more saturated emission spectrum, higher efficiency, and longer device lifetime are desired.
[0007] However, many of the reported host materials still have room for improvement. For example, WO2018021841A1 discloses an organic electroluminescent compound and an organic electroluminescent device including the organic electroluminescent compound, which includes an organic layer containing one or more hosts. The structure of the organic light-emitting compound in the first host is as follows:
[0008]
[0009] However, the compound X it disclosed... 10 To X 13 Each can be represented independently as N or CR, indicating that the formed ring is a 6-membered ring. Furthermore, the current efficiency of the disclosed organic electroluminescent devices is relatively low. Therefore, in order to meet the industry's ever-increasing demands, especially for higher device efficiency and longer device lifespan, new materials still require further research and development.

[0103] It should be noted that, in the compounds of this invention, when a molecular fragment is described as a substituent or otherwise linked to another part, its name may be written according to whether it is a fragment (e.g., phenyl, phenylene, naphthyl, dibenzofuranyl) or according to whether it is a whole molecule (e.g., benzene, naphthalene, dibenzofuran). As used herein, these different ways of designating substituents or linking fragments are considered equivalent.
[0104] It should be noted that in the compounds of this invention, hydrogen atoms can be partially or completely replaced by deuterium. Other atoms such as carbon and nitrogen can also be replaced by their other stable isotopes. Substitution with other stable isotopes in the compounds is likely preferred due to its ability to enhance device efficiency and stability.
[0105] It should be noted that in the compounds of this invention, multiple substitution refers to the range including disubstituted substitution, up to the maximum number of available substitutions. When a substituent in a compound mentioned in this invention represents multiple substitution (including disubstituted, trisubstituted, tetrasubstituted, etc.), it means that the substituent can exist at multiple available substitution positions on its linkage structure. The substituent existing at multiple available substitution positions can be of the same structure or different structures.
[0106] It should be noted that in the compounds of the present invention, unless explicitly specified, for example, that adjacent substituents can optionally connect to form a ring, adjacent substituents in the compounds cannot connect to form a ring. In the compounds mentioned in the present invention, the optional connection of adjacent substituents to form a ring includes both cases where adjacent substituents can connect to form a ring and cases where adjacent substituents do not connect to form a ring. When adjacent substituents can optionally connect to form a ring, the formed ring can be a monocyclic or polycyclic ring, and can be an alicyclic, heterocyclic, aromatic, or heteroaromatic ring. In this context, adjacent substituents can refer to substituents bonded to the same atom, substituents bonded to carbon atoms directly bonded to each other, or substituents bonded to carbon atoms further away. Preferably, adjacent substituents refer to substituents bonded to the same carbon atom and substituents bonded to carbon atoms directly bonded to each other.
[0107] The statement that adjacent substituents can optionally connect to form a ring is also intended to be understood as referring to two substituents bonded to the same carbon atom connecting to each other via chemical bonds to form a ring, as exemplified by the following formula:
[0108]
[0109] The statement that adjacent substituents can optionally link to form a ring is also intended to be understood as referring to two substituents bonded to carbon atoms directly bonded to each other forming a ring through chemical bonds, as exemplified by the following formula:
[0110]
[0111] Furthermore, the statement that adjacent substituents can optionally connect to form a ring is also intended to mean that, in the case where one of the two substituents bonded to the carbon atom directly bonded to each other represents hydrogen, the second substituent bonds at the position where the hydrogen atom is bonded, thereby forming a ring. This is illustrated by the following example:
[0112]
[0113] Adjacent substituents R can optionally connect to form a ring, which is intended to indicate that adjacent substituents R can optionally connect to form a ring, and also to indicate that when there are multiple R on ring 1. X When, the adjacent substituent R X The loop can be arbitrarily connected to form a ring, which also indicates that when there are multiple Rs on ring 2... X When, the adjacent substituent R X The loop can be arbitrarily connected to form a ring, which also indicates that when there are multiple Rs on ring 3. X When, the adjacent substituent R X The elements can be optionally linked to form a ring, and are also intended to represent adjacent substituents R and R'. X They can be optionally linked to form a ring; obviously, to those skilled in the art, adjacent substituents R,R X Alternatively, they may not connect to form a ring. In this case, adjacent substituents R do not connect to form a ring, and / or adjacent substituents R X It also does not connect to form a ring, and / or adjacent substituents R and R X They also do not connect to form a loop.
[0114] In this paper, adjacent substituents R a ,R b They can be optionally linked to form a ring, intended to indicate the presence of substituent R. a ,R b When, adjacent substituent groups, such as substituent R a With R b One or more of them can connect to form a ring. It is obvious that when a substituent R is present... a ,R b In this case, adjacent substituent groups may not be connected to form a ring.
[0115] The compounds of this invention can be used as host materials in electroluminescent devices. These compounds have electron transport units with structures of imidazole, pyrimidine, quinazoline, quinoxaline, azinondithiophene, azinondifuran, azinondiselenophene, azinontriphenylene, triazine, and similar structures, as well as hole transport units with indole-pyrrole fused azinon macrocyclic structures connected to the electron transport units at specific positions. This molecular structure design, where hole and electron transport units are connected at specific positions, gives these compound molecules a unique spatial structure, resulting in unexpected effects. These novel compounds can effectively reduce energy consumption, are more conducive to device fabrication, and further improve device efficiency, providing better device performance.

[0256]
[0257] discuss:
[0258] As shown in Table 2, the maximum wavelength of the comparative examples and the embodiments remained essentially unchanged. At 15 mA / cm² 2 The EQE of Examples 1 and 2, measured at current densities, was increased by 8% and 5% respectively compared to the EQE of Comparative Example 1; the CE of Examples 1 and 2 was increased by 7% and 5% respectively compared to Comparative Example 1; at 15 mA / cm 2 The EQE of Examples 1 and 2, measured at current densities, was 11% and 8% higher than that of Comparative Example 3, respectively; the CE of Examples 1 and 2 was 9% and 7% higher than that of Comparative Example 3, respectively, showing a significant improvement; at 15 mA / cm 2The EQE of Examples 1 and 2, measured at current density, was 18% and 15% higher than that of Comparative Example 2, respectively; the CE of Examples 1 and 2 was 14% and 12% higher than that of Comparative Example 2, respectively, showing a more significant improvement. The data indicate that the examples have superior luminous efficiency compared to the comparative examples. Specifically, the compounds of this invention, which are formed by connecting hole transport units with indole-pyrrole fused nitrogen macrocyclic structures to electron transport units with triazine or similar structures, exhibit different device performance compared to Comparative Examples A, B, and C due to the change in the hole transport unit core. Unexpectedly, this results in excellent device performance, leading to higher current efficiency and external quantum efficiency, and a significant improvement in device performance. This demonstrates the unique advantages of the compounds of this invention.
