Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of organic materials, and particularly relates to an organic material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Organic semiconductor materials have diversity in chemical synthesis, relatively low manufacturing costs during large-scale production, and excellent optical and electrical properties. Therefore, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on organic semiconductor materials have great potential in various display intelligent terminal applications. Usually, an OLED device has a multi-layer structure, and each layer contains different organic substances. Specifically, an organic electroluminescent device may include a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, etc. In such an organic electroluminescent device, when a voltage is applied between two electrodes, holes are injected into the device from the anode, and electrons are injected into the device from the cathode. Under the action of an electric field, the holes generated by the anode and the electrons generated by the cathode will move, and are respectively injected into the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer, and migrate to the light-emitting layer. When the injected holes and electrons meet in the light-emitting layer, energy excitons are generated. When the excitons transition back to the ground state, photons with the same energy as the energy gap are emitted, thereby exciting the light-emitting molecules to finally generate visible light.
[0003] Existing luminescent materials for blue OLED devices are mostly traditional fluorescent molecules such as pyrene, anthracene, perylene, etc. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the luminescence spectrum of such molecules is relatively wide, and it is difficult to achieve deep blue light in the display effect, which does not meet the requirements of high color rendering index display technology. Moreover, the efficiency of devices using such materials is relatively low, which is not conducive to realizing low-power consumption and long-service-life display devices.
[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a blue organic material with a narrow full width at half maximum of the luminescence spectrum, high light color regulation, and high luminescence quantum yield for blue OLED devices. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an organic material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof, aiming to solve the problems of the relatively wide full width at half maximum of the luminescence spectrum, poor light color regulation performance, and low luminescence efficiency of existing blue organic materials.
[0006] To achieve the above application purpose, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:
[0007] In the first aspect of this application, an organic material is provided, which includes the following boron-nitrogen-like framework unit formula (I) and substituted structural unit formula (II-1) and / or formula (II-2), and at least one of the substituted structural units forms a substitution bond with at least one ring structure in the boron-nitrogen-like framework unit;
[0008] Among them, ring A, ring B, and ring C are each independently selected from one of substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, and substituted or unsubstituted fused ring groups; X is selected from B, N, P, P═O, or Al; Y and Z are each independently selected from C═O, N-R3, O, S, Se, P, P═O, or P═S; R1, R2, and R3 are each independently selected from one of substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, and substituted or unsubstituted fused ring groups; W1, V1, W2, and V2 are each independently selected from C, N, P, Si, or Al.
[0009] The organic material provided by this application adopts a boron-nitrogen-like structure as the backbone structure, and a polycyclic aromatic amine unit with a fused ring structure is introduced as a substituted structural unit on at least one ring structure in the boron-nitrogen-like backbone unit. This substituted structural unit has high rigidity. After introducing the high-rigidity polycyclic aromatic amine unit into the boron-nitrogen-like backbone unit, it can effectively reduce the number of phenyl groups that freely rotate within the molecule, inhibit the vibration and rotational degrees of freedom of the internal groups of the molecule, thereby effectively narrowing the full width at half maximum (FHWM) of the luminescence of the organic material and improving the luminescence efficiency and color purity of the material. Through the flexible modification of the boron-nitrogen-like backbone by the high-rigidity polycyclic aromatic amine of the substituted structural unit, the constructed organic material narrows the luminescence FWHM, enables flexible adjustment of the light color, improves the photoluminescence quantum yield, and better meets the application requirements of optoelectronic devices for organic materials with high color rendering index and high reduction degree of luminescence.
[0010] As some possible implementation manners of the organic material of this application, the organic material includes at least one of the following formulas (III), (IV), (V), and (VI);
[0011] In this case, for the organic materials with configurations such as formula (III), formula (IV), formula (V), and formula (VI), through the modification of the boron-nitrogen-like backbone by the high-rigidity polycyclic aromatic amine of the substituted structural unit, the organic material has a narrow FHWM and improves the performance such as luminescence efficiency and color purity of the organic material.
[0012] As some possible implementation manners of the organic material of this application, X is selected from B. In this case, the boron-nitrogen-like backbone unit in the organic material contains boron element.
[0013] As some possible implementation manners of the organic material of this application, at least one of Y and Z is selected from N. In this case, the boron-nitrogen-like backbone unit in the organic material contains nitrogen element.
[0014] As some possible implementation manners of the organic material of the present application, Y and Z are selected from the same element. Exemplarily, both Y and Z are N. In this case, the boron-nitrogen cyclized structure in the skeleton structure is more conducive to improving the optoelectronic performance of the organic material.
[0015] As some possible implementation manners of the organic material of the present application, the A ring and the B ring are each independently selected from one of a substituted aryl group, a substituted heteroaryl group, and a substituted condensed ring group. In this case, the selection of the A ring, the B ring, and the C ring in the boron-nitrogen-like skeleton unit will to some extent affect the optical performance of the constructed organic material. When the A ring and the B ring are each independently selected from one of a substituted aryl group, a substituted heteroaryl group, and a substituted condensed ring group, the formed boron-nitrogen-like skeleton unit and the polycyclic aromatic amine substitution unit with a fused ring structure construct an organic material, which is beneficial to reducing the width of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission spectrum of the organic material and improving the emission efficiency and color purity of the organic material.
[0016] As some possible implementation manners of the organic material of the present application, the C ring is selected from an aryl group. In this case, when the C ring is selected from an aryl group, the polycyclic aromatic amine unit with a fused ring structure can easily be bonded to the C ring through substitution, increasing the rigidity within the organic material molecule, reducing the width of the FWHM of the emission spectrum of the organic material, and improving the emission efficiency and color purity of the organic material.
[0017] As some possible implementation manners of the organic material of the present application, at least one of W1 or V1 is selected from N, or at least one of W2 or V2 is selected from N. In this case, the nitrogen atom can form a covalent bond with other atoms, enabling the compound to form a dense aromatic ring structure. Moreover, the nitrogen atom is more electronegative than the boron atom. Therefore, the nitrogen atom in the boron-nitrogen heteroaromatic condensed ring compound can increase the chargeability and polarity of the entire molecule through conjugation.
[0018] As some possible implementation manners of the organic material of the present application, W1 and V1 are selected from the same element, or W2 and V2 are selected from the same element. In this case, it is more conducive to increasing the overall chargeability of the organic material molecule and regulating the molecular properties.
[0019] As some possible implementation manners of the organic material of the present application, the organic material includes Compound 1 Compound 2 Compound 3 Compound 4 At least one of them. In this case, the organic materials of Compound 1 to Compound 4 are blue-light materials with high molecular rigidity. Through the flexible modification of the boron-nitrogen-like framework by the highly rigid polycyclic aromatic amine with a substituted structural unit, the emission FWHM is narrowed, enabling flexible adjustment of the light color, improving the color rendering index, luminous efficiency, and color purity of the blue-light organic materials, and better meeting the application requirements of optoelectronic devices such as blue-light OLEDs.
[0020] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing an organic material, comprising the following steps:
[0021] Connect at least one of the following substituted structural units of formula (II-1) and / or formula (II-2) to at least one ring structure of the boron-nitrogen-like framework unit of formula (I) through a substitution reaction to obtain the organic material;
[0022] Wherein, ring A, ring B, and ring C are each independently selected from one of a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring group; X is selected from B, N, P, P=O, or Al; Y and Z are each independently selected from C=O, N-R3, O, S, Se, P, P=O, or P=S; R1, R2, and R3 are selected from one of a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring group; W1, V1, W2, and V2 are each independently selected from C, N, P, Si, or Al.
[0023] In this way, in the method for preparing the organic material of the present application, at least one polycyclic aromatic amine substituted structural unit with a fused ring structure is connected to at least one ring structure of the boron-nitrogen-like framework unit through a substitution reaction to construct a new organic material. Among them, the substituted structural unit has high rigidity. After the highly rigid polycyclic aromatic amine unit is bonded to the boron-nitrogen-like framework unit through a substitution reaction, the number of phenyl groups that can freely rotate within the molecule can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively inhibiting the vibration and rotational degrees of freedom of the groups inside the newly constructed organic material molecule, narrowing the emission FHWM of the organic material, and improving the luminous efficiency and color purity of the material.
[0024] As some possible implementation manners of the method for preparing the organic material of the present application, the organic material includes Compound 1 Compound 2 Compound 3 Compound 4 At least one of them.

Through the flexible modification of the boron-nitrogen-like skeleton by the highly rigid polycyclic aromatic amine of the substituted structural unit, the emission FWHM is narrowed, the light color can be flexibly adjusted, the color rendering index, luminous efficiency and color purity of the blue light organic materials are improved, and the application requirements of optoelectronic devices such as blue light OLED can be better met.

[0073] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer and more understandable, the following further elaborates on this application in combination with examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described here are only used to explain this application and are not used to limit this application.
[0074] In this application, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.
[0075] In this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, "at least one of a, b, or c", or "at least one of a, b, and c" can both represent: a, b, c, a - b (i.e., a and b), a - c, b - c, or a - b - c, where a, b, and c can each be single or multiple.
[0076] It should be understood that in various embodiments of this application, the magnitudes of the serial numbers of the above processes do not imply the order of execution. Some or all of the steps can be executed in parallel or sequentially. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.
[0077] The terms used in the embodiments of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit this application. The singular forms "a", "the", and "said" used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0078] The term "OLED" is an abbreviation for "Organic Light Emitting Diode", which represents an organic electroluminescent diode, also known as organic electroluminescent display, organic light emitting semiconductor (Organic Electroluminescence Display, OLED). OLED belongs to a current-type organic light emitting device, and is a phenomenon of luminescence caused by the injection and recombination of carriers. The luminescence intensity is proportional to the injected current. Under the action of an electric field, the holes generated at the anode and the electrons generated at the cathode will move, and are respectively injected into the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer, and migrate to the light emitting layer. When the two meet in the light emitting layer, energy excitons are generated, which excite the luminescent molecules to finally generate visible light.
[0079] The term "TADF" is an abbreviation for "Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence", which represents thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Its essence is that when the energy of the triplet excited state is close to that of the singlet excited state, the triplet excited state can undergo thermally activated reverse intersystem crossing to the singlet excited state through thermal activation. Traditional luminescence is fluorescence and phosphorescence, where excitons in the singlet state and triplet state return to the ground state in the form of radiative luminescence. Moreover, generally, the energy level difference between the lower singlet state and the lower triplet state is relatively large, resulting in the fact that once the exciton reaches the triplet state from the singlet state through the intersystem crossing (ISC) process, it cannot return to the singlet state.
[0080] The term "FWHM" is an abbreviation for "Full Width at Half Maximum", which represents the full width at half maximum, also known as half width, peak half width, peak half width, region width, region half width, etc. It is a term in chromatographic analysis that refers to the peak width at half of the peak height, that is, a straight line parallel to the peak base is drawn through the midpoint of the peak height, and the distance between the two intersection points of this straight line and the two sides of the peak. It is represented by the symbol Y1 / 2 or 2△t1 / 2.
[0081] The term "PLQY" is an abbreviation for "Photoluminescence Quantum Yield", which represents the photoluminescence quantum yield, that is, the ratio of the number of fluorescent photons emitted by a fluorescent substance after absorbing light to the number of photons of the incident excitation light, and is used to characterize the luminescence efficiency of a sample.
[0082] The term "current efficiency" refers to the ratio of the luminance L to the current density J passing through the device at this luminance, and is usually represented by the symbol η = L / J.
[0083] The term "EQE" is an abbreviation for "External Quantum Efficiency", which represents the external quantum efficiency. When photons are incident on the surface of a photosensitive device, some photons will excite the photosensitive material to generate electron-hole pairs and form a current. The ratio of the collected electrons (after internal electron-hole recombination and other processes) to the number of all incident photons is called the external quantum efficiency. For a light-emitting diode, its external quantum efficiency is equal to the ratio of the number of photons emitted in the plane per unit time to the number of electron-hole pairs injected in the plane per unit time.
[0084] In the chemical structural formula, "*" represents the connection site. Exemplarily, it means that the substituted structural unit is connected to the main framework structural unit through this * site.
[0085] The term "alkyl" refers to a straight-chain or branched-chain, monovalent, saturated aliphatic chain, including but not limited to methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, isopentyl, hexyl and other similar groups.
[0086] The term "aryl" refers to a cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, including but not limited to phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl, phenanthryl and other similar groups.
[0087] The term "heteroaryl" refers to a monocyclic, polycyclic or fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in which one or more carbon atoms have been replaced by heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur. If the heteroaryl contains more than one heteroatom, these heteroatoms may be the same or different. Heteroaryls include, but are not limited to, benzofuranyl, benzothiophenyl, benzimidazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzopyranyl, furanyl, imidazolyl, indazolyl, indolizinyl, indolyl, isobenzofuranyl, isoindolyl, isoquinolyl, isothiazolyl, isoxazolyl, naphthyridinyl, oxadiazolyl, oxazinyl, oxazolyl, phthalazinyl, pteridinyl, purinyl, pyranyl, pyrazinyl, pyrazolyl, pyridazinyl, pyrido[3,4-b]indolyl, pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrrolyl, quinazolinyl, quinolinyl, quinoxalinyl, thiadiazolyl, thiotriazolyl, thiazolyl, thienyl, triazinyl, triazolyl, xanthenyl and other similar groups.
[0088] The term "fused polycyclic group" refers to an aryl group formed by the fusion of two or more aromatic rings, where each aromatic ring shares at least two carbon atoms with at least one other aromatic ring. Common fused polycyclic groups include naphthyl, anthryl and phenanthryl, etc.
[0089] Currently, from the perspective of the development of the market situation, due to the diversity of organic semiconductor materials in chemical synthesis, relatively low manufacturing costs during large-scale production, and excellent optical and electrical properties, etc. Therefore, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on organic semiconductor materials have great potential in various display intelligent terminal applications. Usually, an OLED device includes functional layers such as a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer. When a voltage is applied between the two electrodes, holes are injected into the device from the anode, and electrons are injected into the device from the cathode. Under the action of the electric field, the holes generated by the anode and the electrons generated by the cathode will move, and are respectively injected into the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer, and migrate to the light-emitting layer. When the injected holes and electrons meet in the light-emitting layer, energy excitons are generated. When these excitons transition back to the ground state, photons with the same energy as the energy gap are emitted, thereby generating visible light. Currently, the light-emitting materials used in blue OLED devices are mostly traditional fluorescent molecules such as pyrene, anthracene, perylene, etc. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission spectra of these molecules is relatively wide, and it is difficult to achieve deep blue light in the display effect, which does not meet the requirements of high color rendering index display technology. Moreover, the efficiency of the devices using these materials is relatively low, which is not conducive to the realization of low-power consumption and long-service-life display devices.
[0090] In order to improve the color rendering index and luminous efficiency of blue-light organic materials and achieve the problem of display devices with low power consumption and long service life, it has been found through research that a class of boron-nitrogen ring compounds adopt multiple resonance effects in molecular design, that is, the molecular structure is maintained within a special planar rigid conjugated structure, and the different electronegativities brought by the empty orbitals on the boron atom that can participate in the electron cloud conjugation and the lone pair electrons on the nitrogen atom that can participate in the electron cloud conjugation are enhanced through the conjugation effect with each other, thereby forming an intramolecular short-range charge transfer state and realizing efficient luminescence with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) phenomenon. Moreover, compared with other luminescent materials, the characteristic of this planar structure lies in the high degeneracy of the energy levels of the molecular vibration modes, which makes the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of its emission spectrum significantly narrower than that of other types of luminescent materials, facilitating the achievement of high color purity. In recent years, due to the fact that this class of materials combines the high device efficiency of TADF materials, the high color purity of fluorescent materials, and potentially high device stability, this class of materials has received great attention from the academic and industrial circles and is a research hotspot in the field of OLED luminescent materials. However, based on the existing reports, there is still room for further improvement in achieving higher luminous efficiency, narrower FWHM, and longer device operating life for such luminescent materials.
[0091] For classical boron-nitrogen system materials, the size of the FWHM of their emission spectrum and the level of luminous efficiency often depend on whether the vibration and rotational degrees of freedom of the internal groups of the molecule can be effectively suppressed. For classical boron-nitrogen materials, the phenyl group connected to the nitrogen atom has a large torsional angle with the boron-nitrogen rigid conjugated plane and does not directly participate in the super-resonance effect of the boron-nitrogen rigid conjugated plane, and is regarded as a group that does not directly participate in the luminescence process of boron-nitrogen materials. However, such phenyl groups often have large vibration and rotational degrees of freedom and are considered an unfavorable factor for narrowing the FWHM of the emission spectrum. Therefore, in order to further narrow the FWHM of the emission spectrum of boron-nitrogen materials, the existing reports often adopt the method of fixing the phenyl group by constructing carbon-carbon single bonds to make it a part of the boron-nitrogen rigid conjugated plane. This technical solution can effectively reduce the FWHM of the material's emission spectrum, and the fewer free phenyl groups, the smaller the FWHM. However, when the phenyl group is incorporated into the boron-nitrogen rigid conjugated plane, the phenyl group will not only extend the conjugation length of the overall molecule, but the electron cloud on the phenyl group will also participate in the overall super-resonance effect of the molecule, resulting in a certain degree of red shift of the material's spectrum compared with the original boron-nitrogen material. This is also not conducive to the realization of blue-light OLED display devices with high color rendering index. And limited by the conjugation length of commonly used arylamines, the red shift brought by this technical solution is not sufficient to adjust the light color to the blue-light region, and it is also impossible to realize blue-light OLED display devices with high color rendering index.
[0092] In other reported technologies, there is also an effect of adjusting the emission color of the material and narrowing the full width at half maximum (FHWM) of the emission spectrum by substituting hydrogen atoms with arylamine groups at specific sites of the boron nitride material. This is because the introduction of arylamine can effectively adjust the frontier orbital energy levels of the material and regulate the intensity of the multiple resonance effect of the boron nitride rigid conjugated plane through the electron-donating ability of arylamine, thereby adjusting the emission color and narrowing the FHWM of the emission spectrum. The arylamine groups most commonly used to modify boron nitride materials currently are diphenylamine and its derivatives. Although the modification of boron nitride materials with diphenylamine can achieve the adjustment of emission color and the narrowing of the FHWM of the emission spectrum, due to the relatively low molecular rigidity of the diphenylamine group itself and the existence of certain rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom, the improvement ability for emission color and FHWM is relatively limited, and there is room for improvement.
[0093] Based on the above considerations, in order to further improve the emission color and FHWM of blue-light organic materials, solve the problems of improving the emission color adjustment performance and luminous efficiency, and realize a blue-light OLED display device with low power consumption and long service life. After in-depth research, an organic material is proposed, which is based on the boron nitride skeleton unit of the following formula (I) and introduces at least one of the following substitution structural units of formula (II-1) and / or formula (II-2) to form a new organic material.
[0094] In such an organic material, on the basis of the boron nitride skeleton, the introduced substitution structural unit is a brand-new rigid polycyclic arylamine unit, thus constructing a brand-new boron nitride-like skeleton. Among them, the polycyclic arylamine unit with a fused-ring structure introduced has high rigidity, effectively reducing the number of freely rotating phenyl groups in the organic material, which is beneficial to narrowing the FHWM of the emission of the organic material. The organic material constructed by the boron nitride-like skeleton unit and the substitution unit is a blue-light material with high molecular rigidity. Through the modification of the boron nitride-like skeleton by the high-rigidity polycyclic arylamine of the substitution structural unit, the emission color of the organic material can be flexibly adjusted, and the photoluminescence quantum yield of the organic material is improved.
[0095] For the convenience of understanding, the present application is specifically described through the following embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to further illustrate the solution of the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.
[0096] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an organic material, including the following boron nitride-like skeleton unit of formula (I) and substitution structural units of formula (II-1) and / or formula (II-2), and at least one substitution structural unit forms a substitution bond with at least one ring structure in the boron nitride-like skeleton unit;
[0097] Among them, ring A, ring B, and ring C are each independently selected from one of substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, and substituted or unsubstituted fused ring groups; X is selected from B, N, P, P═O, or Al; Y and Z are each independently selected from C═O, N-R3, O, S, Se, P, P═O, or P═S; R1, R2, and R3 are each independently selected from one of substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, and substituted or unsubstituted fused ring groups; W1, V1, W2, and V2 are each independently selected from C, N, P, Si, or Al.
[0098] Thus, for the organic material provided in the embodiment of the present application, the adopted backbone structure is a boron nitride-like structure. A polycyclic aromatic amine unit with a fused ring structure is introduced as a substituted structural unit on at least one ring structure in the boron nitride-like backbone unit. This substituted structural unit has high rigidity. After introducing the high-rigidity polycyclic aromatic amine unit into the boron nitride-like backbone unit, the number of phenyl groups that can freely rotate within the molecule can be effectively reduced, and the vibration and rotational degrees of freedom of the internal groups of the molecule can be inhibited, thereby effectively narrowing the full width at half maximum (FHWM) of the luminescence of the organic material and improving the luminescence efficiency and color purity of the material. Through the flexible modification of the boron nitride-like backbone by the high-rigidity polycyclic aromatic amine of the substituted structural unit, the constructed organic material narrows the luminescence FWHM, enables flexible adjustment of the light color, improves the photoluminescence quantum yield, and better meets the application requirements of optoelectronic devices for organic materials with high color rendering index and high reduction degree of luminescence.
[0099] The organic material constructed by the boron nitride-like backbone unit and the substituted unit in the embodiment of the present application is a boron nitride-like organic light-emitting material with high molecular rigidity, and further is a blue light organic material. Through the flexible modification of the boron nitride-like backbone by the high-rigidity polycyclic aromatic amine of the substituted structural unit, the luminescence FWHM is narrowed, flexible adjustment of the light color is achieved, the color rendering index, luminescence efficiency, and color purity of the blue light organic material are improved, and the application requirements of optoelectronic devices such as blue light OLEDs can be better met.
[0100] The polycyclic aromatic amine substitution unit with a fused ring structure in the embodiment of the present application can be arbitrarily substituted on ring A, ring B, or ring C of the boron nitride-like backbone, or can be simultaneously substituted on two or three of rings A, B, and C of the boron nitride-like backbone. By adjusting the substitution position and substitution quantity of the polycyclic aromatic amine unit with a fused ring structure on the boron nitride-like backbone unit, flexible adjustment of the light color performance of the organic material can be realized. On the premise of improving the blue light color rendering index, luminescence efficiency, and color purity of the organic material, the organic material can better meet the application requirements of optoelectronic devices such as blue light OLEDs. In some possible implementation manners, the organic material includes at least one of the following formulas (III), (IV), (V), and (VI);
[0101]
[0102] In this case, for the organic materials with the configurations of the above formulas (III), (IV), (V), (VI), etc., through the modification of the boron-nitrogen-like framework by the highly rigid polycyclic aromatic amine of the substituted structural unit, the organic materials have a narrower FHWM, improving the performance such as the luminescence efficiency and color purity of the organic materials.
[0103] In some possible embodiments, in the boron-nitrogen-like framework unit, the A ring, the B ring, and the C ring are each independently selected from one of a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring group; X is selected from B, N, P, P=O, or Al; Y and Z are each independently selected from C=O, N-R3, O, S, Se, P, P=O, or P=S; and R3 is selected from one of a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring group. In this case, the formed boron-nitrogen-like framework unit is conducive to ensuring the optical properties of the organic materials.
[0104] In some possible embodiments, in the polycyclic aromatic amine substituted structural unit of the fused ring structure, R1 and R2 are selected from one of a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring group; W1, V1, W2, and V2 are each independently selected from C, N, P, Si, or Al. In this case, the formed polycyclic aromatic amine substituted structural unit has better molecular rigidity. Introduced into the boron-nitrogen-like framework unit, it can better adjust the light color of the organic material, narrow the luminescence FHWM, and improve the luminescence efficiency and color purity of the material.
[0105] In some possible embodiments, among the substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, the substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group, and the substituted or unsubstituted fused ring group, the aryl group includes but is not limited to phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl, phenanthryl, and other similar groups. The heteroaryl group includes but is not limited to benzofuranyl, benzothiophenyl, benzimidazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzopyranyl, furanyl, imidazolyl, indazolyl, indazinyl, indolyl, isobenzofuranyl, isoindolyl, isoquinolyl, isothiazolyl, isoxazolyl, naphthyridinyl, oxadiazolyl, oxazinyl, oxazolyl, phthalazinyl, pteridinyl, purinyl, pyranyl, pyrazinyl, pyrazolyl, pyridazinyl, pyrido[3,4-b]indolyl, pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrrolyl, quinazolinyl, quinolinyl, quinoxalinyl, thiadiazolyl, thiotriazolyl, thiazolyl, thiophenyl, triazinyl, triazolyl, xanthenyl, and other similar groups. The fused ring group includes naphthyl, anthryl, phenanthryl, etc.
[0106] In some possible embodiments, X is selected from B. In this case, the boron-nitrogen-like framework unit in the organic material contains boron element.
[0107] In some possible embodiments, at least one of Y and Z is selected from N. In this case, the boron-nitrogen-like framework unit in the organic material contains nitrogen element.
[0108] In some possible embodiments, X is selected from B, and at least one of Y and Z is selected from N. In this case, the boron-nitrogen-like framework unit in the organic material contains both boron element and nitrogen element. At this time, the framework structure is a boron-nitrogen cyclized structure. This type of material has a multiple resonance effect in molecular design and can achieve efficient luminescence with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) phenomenon. It is beneficial to reduce the width of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission spectrum and improve the luminescence efficiency and color purity of the organic material.
[0109] In some possible embodiments, Y and Z are selected from the same element. Exemplarily, both Y and Z are N. In this case, the boron-nitrogen cyclized structure in the framework structure is more conducive to improving the optoelectronic properties of the organic material.
[0110] In some possible embodiments, ring A and ring B are each independently selected from a substituted aryl group, a substituted heteroaryl group, and a substituted fused ring group. In this case, the selection of ring A, ring B, and ring C in the boron-nitrogen-like framework unit will affect the optical properties of the constructed organic material to a certain extent. When ring A and ring B are each independently selected from a substituted aryl group, a substituted heteroaryl group, and a substituted fused ring group, the formed boron-nitrogen-like framework unit and the polycyclic aromatic amine substitution unit with a fused ring structure construct an organic material, which is beneficial to reducing the width of the FWHM of the emission spectrum of the organic material and improving the luminescence efficiency and color purity of the organic material.
[0111] In some possible embodiments, ring C is selected from an aryl group. In some specific embodiments, ring A and ring B are each independently selected from a substituted aryl group, a substituted heteroaryl group, and a substituted fused ring group, and ring C is selected from an aryl group. In this case, since ring C is selected from an aryl group, the polycyclic aromatic amine unit with a fused ring structure can easily be bonded to ring C through substitution, increasing the rigidity within the organic material molecule, reducing the width of the FWHM of the emission spectrum of the organic material, and improving the luminescence efficiency and color purity of the organic material.
[0112] In some possible embodiments, at least one of W1 or V1 is selected from N, or at least one of W2 or V2 is selected from N. In this case, the nitrogen atom can form a covalent bond with other atoms, enabling the compound to form a dense aromatic ring structure. Moreover, the nitrogen atom is more electronegative than the boron atom. Therefore, the nitrogen atom in the boron-nitrogen heteroaromatic fused ring compound can increase the charge and polarity of the entire molecule through conjugation. In addition, the electron cloud overlap and hybridization between the boron and nitrogen atoms can regulate the optical, electrical, and chemical properties of the boron-nitrogen heteroaromatic fused ring compound. By adjusting the position of the nitrogen atom and the introduction of substituents, characteristics such as the fluorescence emission intensity and spectral absorption position of the molecule can be changed.
[0113] In some possible embodiments, W1 and V1 are selected from the same element, or W2 and V2 are selected from the same element. In some specific embodiments, W1 and V1 are both N elements at the same time, or W2 and V2 are both N elements at the same time. In this case, it is more conducive to increasing the overall charge of the organic material molecules and adjusting the molecular properties.

In this case, these organic materials are blue light materials with high molecular rigidity. Through the flexible modification of the boron-nitrogen-like framework by the highly rigid polycyclic aromatic amine of the substituted structural unit, the emission FWHM is narrowed, the light color can be flexibly adjusted, the color rendering index, luminous efficiency and color purity of the blue light organic material are improved, and the application requirements of optoelectronic devices such as blue light OLEDs can be better met.
[0131] The organic material provided in the above embodiments of the present application can be prepared by the following example methods.
[0132] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing an organic material, including the following steps:
[0133] S10. Connect at least one substitution structural unit in the following formula (II-1) and / or formula (II-2) to at least one ring structure in the boron-nitrogen skeleton unit of formula (I) through a substitution reaction to obtain an organic material;

Among them, the substitution structural unit has high rigidity. After the high-rigidity polycyclic aromatic amine unit is bonded to the boron-nitrogen skeleton unit through a substitution reaction, the number of phenyl groups that can freely rotate within the molecule can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively inhibiting the vibration and rotational freedom of the internal groups of the newly constructed organic material molecule, narrowing the emission FHWM of the organic material, and improving the emission efficiency and color purity of the material.

In this case, these organic materials of Compound 1 to Compound 4 are blue light materials with high molecular rigidity.

[0141] S14. Carry out substitution cyclization reactions on intermediate 3 respectively to obtain compound 1, compound 2, compound 3 or compound 4.
[0142] In the embodiment of the present application, 2,6-difluoro-4-bromo-chlorobenzene and 3,6-di-tert-butylcarbazole are used as raw materials to prepare intermediate 1 through the first substitution reaction. Intermediate 1 and 5-(tert-butyl)-N-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)benzo[b]thiophen-3-amine further undergo the second substitution reaction to obtain intermediate 2. Intermediate 2 is respectively subjected to substitution reactions with 6-phenyloctahydro-1H-pyrrolo[4,3-b]pyridine, 1-phenyloctahydro-1H-pyrrolo[4,3-b]pyridine, 6-[4-(2-methylpropan-2-yl)phenyl]octahydro-1H-pyrrolo[4,3-b]pyridine or 1-[4-(2-methylpropan-2-yl)phenyl]octahydro-1H-pyrrolo[4,3-b]pyridine, and intermediate 3 such as intermediate 3-1, intermediate 3-2, intermediate 3-3 or intermediate 3-4 can be obtained respectively.

Under this condition, intermediate 1 and 5-(tert-butyl)-N-(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)benzo[b]thiophen-3-amine undergo a second substitution reaction to generate intermediate 2.
