AI Technical Summary
Existing OLED materials have low reverse intersystem crossing rates, leading to frequent triplet exciton annihilation processes, which affect device efficiency and luminescence performance. Furthermore, the introduction of heavy atoms causes a redshift in light color and a severe roll-off in efficiency of narrow-band light-emitting devices. There is a lack of heavy-atom blue MR-TADF materials with narrow half-width.
The design of hexa- and hexa-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives based on heavy atom fusion donors aims to form novel fusion donors by introducing large-volume, sterically hindered, and rigid heavy atom donor groups, thereby enhancing the reverse intersystem crossing rate. Furthermore, the finely tunable electron-donating capability enables wide-range modulation of the emission wavelength and narrowing of the half-peak width.
High-efficiency blue and blue-green OLED devices have been achieved, improving device efficiency and color purity, expanding the diversity of molecular design strategies, reducing molecular vibrational relaxation, enhancing triplet exciton utilization, and improving device stability.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic optoelectronic material preparation technology, specifically relating to a six-membered and seven-membered boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivative based on a heavy atom fusion donor, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of display technology, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology has gradually gained attention due to its outstanding advantages such as self-emission, fast response speed, and flexibility. Meanwhile, with the continuous development of OLED-related technologies and the increasing demands of consumers for light and color purity, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter design strategies based on multiple resonance (MR) framework peripheral modification and fusion framework extension have been widely developed. In addition, in device structure design, TADF or phosphorescent materials are often used as sensitizers to increase exciton utilization channels, thereby reducing the annihilation process of triplet excitons and achieving efficient exciton utilization.
[0003] With the continuous development of OLED technology, the OLED display industry now places higher demands on resolution, color purity, device power consumption, and device lifespan. However, compared to conventional TADF emitters, MR-TADF emitters typically exhibit a relatively small reverse gap cross-pass velocity (k). RISC ), usually around 10 2 ~10 4 s -1 This results in a generally longer delayed fluorescence lifetime, and at high concentrations, triplet exciton annihilation is prone to occur, leading to a severe efficiency roll-off and poor luminescence performance in narrow-band light-emitting devices. Although adding heavy atoms (oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, etc.) to MR-TADF can effectively increase its kJ / kJ / kE ratio... RISC However, the introduction of heavy atoms inevitably causes MR-TADF materials to lose their narrow emission characteristics and result in a redshift in light color. To date, heavy-atom blue MR-TADF materials with narrow half-maximum width at half-maximum (WHM) characteristics remain extremely rare. Furthermore, almost all boron-nitrogen-based MR-TADF materials inherit the initial trigonene structure, greatly limiting the diversity of molecular design strategies. Therefore, OLED heavy-atom blue emitting materials and sensitizers require further development and expansion. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hexa- and hexa-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivative based on a heavy atom fusion donor, its preparation method, and its application.

[0019] According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for preparing compounds referred to by general formula A-1, the preparation process of which is as follows:
[0020]
[0021] The preparation steps are as follows:
[0022] (1) Compound 1, Compound 2, benzylacetone dipalladium (Pd2(dba)3), tri-tert-butylphosphine tetrafluoroborate (t-Bu3PHBF4), sodium tert-butoxide (tBuONa) and dry toluene were added to a container and heated to 110-130℃ under nitrogen atmosphere and stirred for 8-20 h. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The organic layer was collected by washing with dichloromethane and water, dried and concentrated, and then purified by column chromatography. The crude product was further recrystallized with dichloromethane and methanol to obtain Compound 3.
[0023] The molar ratio of compound 1, compound 2, benzylacetone dipalladium, tri-tert-butylphosphine tetrafluoroborate, and sodium tert-butoxide is (45-47):(49-51):(0.9-1):(1.7-1.9):(130-140); the mass-to-volume ratio of compound 1 to toluene is 1 g:(9-11) mL.
[0024] (2) Compound 4, compound 5, benzylacetone dipalladium, tri-tert-butylphosphine tetrafluoroborate, sodium tert-butoxide, and dried toluene were added to a container and heated to 110-130°C under nitrogen atmosphere and stirred for 8-20 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The organic layer was then collected by washing with dichloromethane and water, dried, concentrated, and preliminarily purified by column chromatography. The crude product was further recrystallized from dichloromethane and methanol to obtain compound 6. (The reaction ratio in step 2 is the same as in step (1), except that compounds 1 and 2 are replaced with compounds 4 and 5, respectively.)
[0025] (3) Compound 3, Compound 6, benzylacetone dipalladium, tri-tert-butylphosphine tetrafluoroborate, sodium tert-butoxide, and dried toluene were added to a container and heated to 85-95℃ under nitrogen atmosphere and stirred for 8-20 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The organic layer was then collected by washing with dichloromethane and water, dried, concentrated, and preliminarily purified by column chromatography. The crude product was further recrystallized with dichloromethane and methanol to obtain Compound 7. The amount of benzylacetone dipalladium was 3-6% of the molar amount of Compound 6. The molar ratio of Compound 6, tri-tert-butylphosphine tetrafluoroborate, and sodium tert-butoxide was (45-47):(1.7-1.9):(130-140).
[0026] (4) After pre-drying compound 7 under vacuum, dissolve it in o-dichlorobenzene, remove the air, and then add boron tribromide dropwise in a nitrogen atmosphere. Heat the mixture to 170-190℃ and stir under reflux for 20-30 hours. After the reaction is complete, cool it to -5 to 5℃ (preferably 0℃), add N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA), and then stir the mixture at -5 to 5℃ for 1-3 hours. After the reaction is complete, remove o-dichlorobenzene by vacuum distillation, collect the concentrated mother liquor, and perform preliminary purification by column chromatography (using cyclohexane as the eluent). The crude product is further recrystallized from toluene and methanol to obtain a pale yellow solid powder, which is the compound referred to by general formula A-1.
[0027] The ratio of compound 7, boron tribromide, and N,N-diisopropylethylamine is 10 g: (3-4.5) mL: (48-55) mL.
[0028] The preparation steps of the compound referred to by general formula A-2 differ from those of A-1 in that the changes in reaction temperature and catalyst equivalent in step (3) will produce different compounds 7. Specifically, the reaction temperature is changed to 105-115℃, and the catalyst equivalent is 18-22% of the molar amount of compound 6.
[0029] The preparation steps of the compound referred to by general formula B-1 differ from those of A-1 in that compound 5 introduces a heavy atom group X (O, S, Se, Te):
[0030] The preparation steps of the compound referred to by general formula B-2 differ from those of A-2 in that heavy atomic groups X (O, S, Se, Te) are introduced into compound 5.
[0031] According to another aspect of the invention, the invention provides the application of the boron-nitrogen heterocyclic compounds based on heavy atom fusion donors in organic electroluminescent devices.
[0032] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hexa- and heptagonal boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives based on heavy atom fusion donors are mainly used as guest light-emitting materials and sensitizer light-emitting materials in organic electroluminescent devices.
[0033] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the organic electroluminescent device comprises, from top to bottom, an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode; the light-emitting layer comprises the hexa- and hexa-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivative.
[0034] Preferably, an exciton blocking layer is further provided between the hole transport layer and the light-emitting layer, and between the light-emitting layer and the electron transport layer.
[0035] In summary, compared with the prior art, the above-described technical solutions conceived by this invention mainly possess the following technical advantages:
[0036] 1. The hexa- and hexa-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives based on heavy atom fusion donors provided by this invention involve fusing different types of single donor groups with heavy atom-containing groups to form novel fused heavy atom donors with large volume, large steric hindrance, and strong rigidity. These fused heavy atom donors are then introduced into the resonance core of MR-TADF luminescent molecules, thereby obtaining hexa- and hexa-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives based on heavy atom fusion donors. This invention leverages the heavy atom effect to significantly enhance the reverse intersystem crossing rate of materials. The unique fusion donor effect provides finely tunable electron-donating capabilities, enabling wide-range control of emission wavelength and narrowing of the half-peak width of heavy atom materials. Applying such organic luminescent molecules as luminescent materials or sensitizers in the luminescent layer structure of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices allows for controllable adjustment of the wavelength range from 450nm to 490nm, resulting in deep blue and blue-green OLED devices with high device efficiency and color purity.
[0037] 2. This invention preferably uses a hexa- and heptagonal fused donor type boron-nitrogen heterocyclic MR-TADF emitter, breaking the initial trigonelline structure and further expanding the existing blue light boron-nitrogen MR-TADF system. It has a significant advantage in maintaining blue light emission. At the same time, based on the different electron-donating capabilities and different numbers of heavy atoms of the fused donor, a wide range of emission wavelengths can be controlled, covering the blue light field. This greatly enriches the diversity of molecular design strategies, which will be conducive to the further development of blue light materials and has great scientific and technological value and commercial application prospects.
[0038] 3. The hexa- and heptagonal boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives based on heavy atom fusion donors described in this invention have heavy atoms incorporated into the donor rather than directly fused into the parent nucleus. This helps reduce molecular vibrational relaxation and ensures narrow emission of heavy atom MR-TADF. The half-width at half-maximum (WHM) is generally below 50 nm, making it a very rare narrow WHM heavy atom MR-TADF blue light material.
[0039] 4. In addition, the introduction of heavy atoms such as O, S, Se, and Te into the MR framework can enhance the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) between T1 and S1, increase the reverse intersystem crossing rate of triplet excitons, and reduce the annihilation process associated with triplet excitons. Therefore, the heavy atom effect in hexa- and hexa-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives can be gradually enhanced, and they can be used as light-emitting guests in OLED devices, which will help improve the efficiency and stability of the devices.
[0040] 5. The introduction of heavy atoms enhances the state of charge (SOC). In device structures, this will be beneficial as a sensitizer for blue OLED light-emitting materials, enabling high efficiency. Energy transfer allows for full utilization of triplet excitons, giving it an advantage in the development of novel MR-TADF sensitizer materials. Attached Figure Description

[0078] These hexa- and hexa-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives based on heavy atom fusion donors are particularly suitable for use as guest luminescent materials and sensitizers in devices. The device fabrication process can be as follows: an ITO (indium tin oxide) glass substrate is successively ultrasonically cleaned for 60 minutes in ITO cleaning agent, isopropanol, acetone, ethanol, and deionized water. After drying with nitrogen, it is dried in an oven at 120°C for 2 hours. Before device fabrication, the ITO glass substrate was surface-treated with oxygen plasma for 10 minutes, then transferred to an organic vacuum chamber for evaporation of organic functional layer materials. A 10 nm thick hole injection material, HAT-CN (2,3,6,7,10,11-hexacyano-1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazabenzophenanthrene), was prepared by vacuum evaporation. Next, a 50 nm thick hole transport material, TAPC (4,4'-cyclohexylbis[N,N-di(4-methylphenyl)aniline]), was deposited. Then, a 10 nm thick electron blocking layer, mCBP (3,3-di(carbazolyl)biphenyl), was vacuum-evaporated onto this hole transport layer. Following this, a 20 nm thick light-emitting layer was deposited, and then a 40 nm thick electron transport material, TmPyPB (1,3,5-tris(3-pyridyl-3-phenyl)benzene), was deposited. Finally, a 1 nm thick LiF layer and a 10 nm thick Al layer were deposited. A schematic diagram of the device structure is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, in practical applications, the bandgap (emission color) of the hexa- and hexa-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives based on heavy atom fusion donors according to the present invention can be used selectively or not. In addition, the transport layer material system can be screened according to the energy level matching principle and the electron-hole carrier balance principle to optimize the film thickness, the luminescent layer thickness and the host-guest doping concentration, etc.

[0164] In summary, this invention addresses the problems of the single MR-TADF material system, the scarcity of heavy atom narrow-emission blue light materials, and the low utilization rate of triplet excitons. It provides a hexa- and seven-membered boron-nitrogen heterocyclic derivative based on a heavy atom fusion donor. By fusing different types of single donor groups with heavy atom-containing groups, a novel fused heavy atom donor with large volume, high steric hindrance, and strong rigidity is formed. This donor is then introduced into the resonant core of the MR-TADF luminescent molecule. Applying this type of organic luminescent molecule as a luminescent material or sensitizer in the luminescent layer structure of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices enables controllable adjustment of the wavelength range from 450nm to 490nm, resulting in deep blue and blue-green OLED devices with high device efficiency and color purity.
