Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic electroluminescence, and relates to a boron-containing organic compound and an organic electroluminescent device containing the same. Background Technology
[0002] Organic Light Emission Diodes (OLEDs) technology can be used to manufacture novel display products and lighting products, and it holds promise as a replacement for existing liquid crystal displays and fluorescent lighting, with a wide range of applications. OLEDs have a sandwich-like structure, consisting of electrode material layers and organic functional materials sandwiched between them. These various functional materials are stacked together according to their intended use to form the OLED device. As a current-carrying device, when a voltage is applied to the two electrodes of the OLED, and an electric field is used to act on the positive and negative charges in the organic functional material layers, these charges recombine in the light-emitting layer, thus generating OLED electroluminescence.
[0003] As OLED technology continues to advance in both lighting and display fields, research into its core materials is receiving increasing attention. This is because a high-efficiency, long-life OLED device is typically the result of an optimized combination of device structure and various organic materials. This presents chemists with both significant opportunities and challenges in designing and developing functionalized materials with diverse structures. Common functionalized organic materials include: hole injection materials, hole transport materials, hole blocking materials, electron injection materials, electron transport materials, electron blocking materials, as well as light-emitting host materials and doped materials.
[0004] To fabricate OLED devices with lower driving voltages, better luminous efficiency, and longer lifespans, and to continuously improve the performance of OLED devices, it is necessary not only to innovate the structure and fabrication process of OLED devices, but also to continuously research and innovate the optoelectronic functional materials in OLED devices to prepare functional materials with higher performance. Based on this, the OLED materials community has been committed to developing new organic electroluminescent materials to achieve devices with low driving voltages, high luminous efficiency, and better lifespans.

[0035] The boron-containing organic compounds of the present invention can be prepared by synthetic methods known to those skilled in the art. Alternatively, the following reaction process is preferred for preparation.
[0036]
[0037] In the above formula, Ra - Re, m, n, p, Z1, Z2, and H are as defined in the above chemical formula I.
[0038] In contrast to the complex raw materials that are not publicly available, the synthesis will be carried out using classic Suzuki coupling reaction, Friedel-Crafts reaction, Ullmann-type amination reaction, substitution reaction, Kulinkovich reaction, etc., and will be applied in this invention.
[0039] Specific preparation method:
[0040] Step 1 specifically includes the following processes:
[0041] Add raw material A (1.0 eq), raw material B (1.5 eq), Ti(OiPr)4 (1.0 eq), c-C5H9MgCl (2.0 eq) and diethyl ether to a reaction flask, and carry out the reaction at -30℃ under nitrogen protection. Detect the reaction by thin-layer chromatography, then add hydrochloric acid to quench the reaction and stir for 0.5-1 hours to obtain intermediate 1.
[0042] Step 2 specifically includes the following processes:
[0043] Intermediate 1 (1.0 eq), KF (3.0 eq), 18-crown-6 (2.0 eq), and anhydrous acetonitrile were added to a reaction flask, followed by starting material C-1 (1.0 eq). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h (5-15 h) under nitrogen protection. The reaction was confirmed to be complete by thin-layer chromatography. Hydrochloric acid was then added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The solution was then neutralized with saturated dichloroethane and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were concentrated. Intermediate 2 was obtained by column chromatography using a mixed solution of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (V:V = 100:1-150:1).
[0044] Step 4 specifically includes the following processes:
[0045] Intermediate 2 (1.0 eq) was dissolved in tert-butylbenzene and stirred at -40°C for 30 minutes under nitrogen protection. Tert-butyllithium (2.0 eq) was then injected, and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 hour. The temperature was then raised to 60°C and reacted for 2 hours. Vacuum was then applied to remove a small amount of n-pentane. The reaction mixture was then cooled to -40°C, and boron tribromide (2.0 eq) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0°C, and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (5.0 eq) was added and slowly restored to room temperature. The reaction mixture was then heated to 100°C and reacted for 2 hours, followed by cooling to room temperature. A saturated sodium carbonate aqueous solution was added dropwise to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was concentrated by vacuum distillation and purified by column chromatography using a mixture of dichloromethane and petroleum ether (V:V = 1:5-1:20) (simultaneously removing isomers generated during the reaction) to obtain chemical formula I.
[0046] Another object of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent device, comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, and at least one organic layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the organic layer comprising a light-emitting layer, the light-emitting layer comprising a host material and a dopant material, the dopant material being a boron-containing organic compound as described above.
[0047] Preferably, the organic layer further includes any one or a combination of at least two of the following: a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light-emitting auxiliary layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a hole blocking layer.
[0048] The organic material layer of the organic light-emitting device of the present invention can be formed as a single-layer structure, but it can also be formed as a multilayer structure with one or more organic material layers. For example, the organic light-emitting device of the present invention can have a structure including a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a light-emitting auxiliary layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, a hole blocking layer, etc., as organic material layers. However, the structure of the organic light-emitting device is not limited to this, and it can include fewer or more organic material layers.
[0049] Except for the doped material layer containing chemical formula I, there are no special restrictions on other layer materials in OLED devices.
[0050] The devices described in this invention can be used in organic light-emitting devices, including but not limited to flat panel displays, computer monitors, medical monitors, televisions, billboards, lamps for internal or external lighting and / or signals, head-up displays, fully transparent or partially transparent displays, flexible displays, laser printers, telephones, mobile phones, photo albums, personal digital assistants (PDAs), wearable devices, laptops, digital cameras, camcorders, viewfinders, microdisplays, 3D displays, virtual reality or augmented reality displays, vehicles, video walls including multiple displays tiled together, theater or stadium screens, phototherapy devices, and signs.
[0051] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0052] The boron-containing organic compound provided by this invention serves as a dopant material for the light-emitting layer in organic electroluminescent devices, enabling the devices to exhibit both low driving voltage and excellent luminous efficiency and lifespan. The compound is a novel structural compound formed by further fused aryl groups into a boron- and nitrogen-containing polycyclic structure. Firstly, the strong electron push-pull effect between the outer nitrogen (D) and boron-nitrogen core (A) results in the HOMO being distributed on the donor (nitrogen-containing five-membered ring), while the LUMO is mainly distributed on the acceptor (boron-nitrogen host core). This high spatial separation of the HOMO and LUMO significantly reduces ΔE. st This allows triplet excitons to efficiently return to the singlet state and emit light via reverse system-reverse crossover (RISC), effectively improving exciton utilization. Furthermore, this DA structure typically possesses a rigid fused-ring framework, which effectively suppresses non-radiative transitions caused by molecular vibrations and rotations, further enhancing luminescence efficiency. The presence of donor and acceptor units enables the molecule to simultaneously possess the ability to transport holes (contributed by the donor) and electrons (contributed by the acceptor). This bipolar characteristic facilitates a balance between hole and electron injection and transport in OLED devices, thereby improving device efficiency.
[0053] Secondly, in the compound of this invention, an additional phenyl or naphthyl group is fused to the phenyl group fused above the five-membered ring on the right side, which significantly expands the conjugated system, resulting in better charge transport capability and effectively improving the luminous efficiency of the device. At the same time, it enhances molecular rigidity, improves planarity, and enhances optical and thermal stability, which helps to improve the lifespan of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0058] Example 1
[0059]
[0060] Since intermediate c-121 (corresponding to raw material A in the general formula) is not a prior art, it needs to be synthesized first, as shown in step 1 below.

The combined organic phases were concentrated. Intermediate 2-121 (yield: 52.4%) was purified by column chromatography using a mixed solution of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (V:V = 100:1).
[0067] Step 4 specifically includes the following processes:
[0068] Intermediate 2-121 (1.0 eq) was dissolved in tert-butylbenzene and stirred at -40°C for 30 minutes under nitrogen protection. Tert-butyllithium (2.0 eq) was then injected, and the reaction was continued for 1 hour. The temperature was then raised to 60°C and reacted for 2 hours. Vacuum was then applied to remove a small amount of n-pentane, and the reaction mixture was lowered to -40°C. Boron tribromide (2.0 eq) was added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0°C, N,N-diisopropylethylamine (5.0 eq) was added, and the mixture was slowly restored to room temperature. The reaction mixture was then heated to 100°C and reacted for 2 hours, followed by cooling to room temperature. A saturated sodium carbonate aqueous solution was added dropwise to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was concentrated by vacuum distillation and purified by column chromatography using a mixture of dichloromethane and petroleum ether (V:V = 1:7) (simultaneously removing isomers generated during the reaction) to give compound 121 (yield: 31.3%).

[0078] The following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, illustrates an organic electroluminescent composition and an organic electroluminescent device provided by the present invention.
[0079] Device Example 1: Fabrication of Green Organic Light Emitting Device
[0080] The structure of the fabricated OLED device is: ITO anode / HIL / HTL / Prime / EML / HBL / ETL / EIL / cathode / CPL.
[0081] a. ITO anode: The ITO (indium tin oxide)-Ag-ITO (indium tin oxide) glass substrate with a coating thickness of 1500 Å was cleaned three times in distilled water and ultrasonically washed for 40 min. Then it was cleaned three times in distilled water and ultrasonically washed for 20 min. After washing, it was ultrasonically washed sequentially with methanol, acetone and isopropanol (5 min each time). After drying, it was transferred to a plasma cleaner for 5 min and then sent to a vapor deposition machine. Using this substrate as the anode, other functional layers were sequentially vapor deposited on it.
[0082] b. HIL (Hole Injection Layer): Hole injection layer materials HT and P-dopant are vacuum-deposited at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s, wherein the deposition rate ratio of HT to P-dopant is 97:3, and the thickness is 10 nm.
[0083] c. HTL (Hole Transport Layer): A 130 nm thick HT layer is vacuum-deposited on top of the hole injection layer at a deposition rate of 1.5 Å / s as the hole transport layer.
[0084] d. Prime (light-emitting auxiliary layer): A 40 nm Prime layer was vacuum-deposited on the hole transport layer at a deposition rate of 1.0 Å / s as a light-emitting auxiliary layer.
[0085] e. EML (Emitting Layer): Then, on the above-mentioned emitting auxiliary layer, a emitting layer with a thickness of 30 nm is vacuum-deposited at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s. Host-1 and Host-2 are used as host materials, compound 121 provided in the above embodiment is used as a dopant, and GD-1 (Irppy) is used as a sensitizer. The mass ratio of host materials (Host-1 and Host-2), GD-1 and compound 121 is 89:10:1, wherein the deposition rate ratio of Host-1 and Host-2 is 50:50.
[0086] f. HBL (hole blocking layer): A hole blocking layer HB with a thickness of 5 nm is vacuum-deposited at a deposition rate of 0.5 Å / s.
[0087] g. ETL (Electron Transport Layer): ET and Liq layers with a thickness of 30 nm were vacuum-deposited at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s. The deposition rate ratio of ET to Liq was 50:50.
[0088] h. EIL (Electron Injection Layer): A 1 nm Yb film is deposited at a deposition rate of 0.5 Å / s to form the electron injection layer.
[0089] i. Cathode: Magnesium and silver are deposited at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s for 13 nm, with a deposition rate ratio of 1:9, to obtain the OLED device.
[0090] j. CPL (Optical Extraction Layer): A CPL with a thickness of 65 nm is vacuum-deposited on the cathode at a deposition rate of 1 Å / s as the optical extraction layer.
[0091] k. Subsequently, the vapor-deposited substrate is encapsulated. First, the cleaned cover plate is coated with UV adhesive using an adhesive coating equipment. Then, the coated cover plate is moved to the lamination section, and the vapor-deposited substrate is placed on the top of the cover plate. Finally, the substrate and cover plate are laminated under the action of the lamination equipment, while the UV adhesive is cured by light.
[0092] The structures of HT, P-dopant, Host-1, Host-2, GD-1, Prime, HB, ET, and CPL used in Embodiment 1 of the above device are shown below:
[0093] .
[0094] Referring to the method provided in Device Example 1 above, the corresponding compounds in Table 1 were selected to replace compound 121, and the doped material layer was deposited by vapor deposition to prepare the corresponding organic electroluminescent devices, which are respectively referred to as Device Examples 2-208.
[0095] Device Comparison Example 1-17:
[0096] This comparative example provides an organic electroluminescent device. The only difference between this organic electroluminescent device and device example 1 is that the organic electroluminescent device uses the existing comparative compound aq instead of the first dopant material (compound 121) in device example 1 for vapor deposition. The chemical structural formula of the comparative compound aq is as follows:
[0097]
[0098] At a brightness of 15000 nits, the driving voltage, luminous efficiency, and lifespan of the organic electroluminescent devices obtained in Device Examples 1-208 and Device Comparative Examples 1-17 were tested. The test results are shown below.
[0099] Table 1
[0100]
[0101] As can be seen from Table 1, the metal compounds in this invention have excellent light-emitting properties, and the organic electroluminescent devices prepared with them have better driving voltage, luminous efficiency and lifetime. Compared with the organic electroluminescent devices prepared with the comparative compounds, the performance is significantly improved.
[0102] Generally speaking, a 10% improvement in device lifetime is considered a significant performance improvement in the field, with an efficiency increase of more than 5%, which is considered a significant improvement in efficiency.
[0103] In the green light device of this invention, the luminous efficacy of the compound device is 156.6-164.5 cd / A, and the lifetime is 833-898 h. In contrast, the luminous efficacy of the comparative compound device is 138.7-148.4 cd / A, and the lifetime is 675-715 h. The efficiency improvement is at least 5.53%, and the lifetime improvement is at least 16.50%. Therefore, the compound device of this invention represents a significant advancement in luminous efficacy and lifetime compared to existing technologies.
[0104]
[0105] Comparative compounds a and b and compounds 122 and 1 are parallel comparative examples. The difference is that in comparative compounds a and b, only a phenyl group is fused above the five-membered ring on the right side of the parent nucleus, while in compounds 122 and 1 of this invention, a naphthyl group is fused above the five-membered ring on the right side of the parent nucleus. This significantly expands the conjugated system, resulting in better charge transport capability and effectively improving the luminous efficiency of the device. At the same time, it enhances molecular rigidity, improves planarity, and enhances optical and thermal stability, which helps to extend the lifespan of the device.
[0106]
[0107] Comparative examples e, g, h, i and compounds 81, 175, 128, 212 are parallel comparative examples. The difference lies in the location of the nitrogen on the right five-membered ring of the right parent nucleus in comparative compounds e, g, h, i, while in the compounds of this invention, the nitrogen on the right five-membered ring of the parent nucleus is on the outside. Due to the strong electron push-pull effect between the outer nitrogen (D) and the boron-nitrogen core (A), the HOMO is distributed on the donor (nitrogen-based five-membered ring), while the LUMO is mainly distributed on the acceptor (boron-nitrogen main nucleus). This high spatial separation of HOMO and LUMO significantly reduces ΔE. st This allows triplet excitons to efficiently return to the singlet state and emit light via reverse system-reverse crossover (RISC), effectively improving exciton utilization. Small ΔE st The efficient RISC process means that triplet excitons are not wasted and can be effectively recycled for luminescence, thus significantly improving the material's luminescence quantum yield. Furthermore, this DA structure typically has a rigid fused-ring framework, which effectively suppresses non-radiative transitions caused by molecular vibration and rotation, further improving luminescence efficiency. The stronger the electron-donating ability of the donor (outer nitrogen), the higher the HOMO level is raised, thereby narrowing the band gap between HOMO and LUMO. According to the formula E=hc / λ, the smaller the band gap, the lower the emitted photon energy and the longer the wavelength (redshift). The presence of donor and acceptor units allows the molecule to simultaneously possess the ability for hole transport (contributed by the donor) and electron transport (contributed by the acceptor). This bipolar characteristic is beneficial for balancing hole and electron injection and transport in OLED devices, thereby improving device efficiency.
