Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of organic materials, and in particular to a method for synthesizing a class of thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials containing dicarbonyl groups and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLED devices), as a next-generation display technology, have become a core direction for display technology upgrades due to their advantages such as light weight, energy efficiency, and flexibility, and are widely used in smartphones, televisions, and lighting. Organic light-emitting materials, as the core functional components of OLED devices, directly determine the device's photoelectric efficiency, stability, and lifespan, and are crucial for the commercialization of OLED technology. Currently, organic light-emitting materials are mainly classified into three categories based on their light-emitting mechanism: traditional fluorescent materials, heavy metal complex phosphorescent materials, and thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials (TADF).

[0003] Traditional fluorescent materials can only utilize 25% of singlet excitons generated by electrical excitation, resulting in extremely low theoretical quantum efficiency, which is insufficient to meet the demands of high-brightness and high-efficiency displays. While heavy metal complex phosphorescent materials (such as iridium and platinum complexes) can achieve 100% exciton utilization through spin-orbit coupling, their complex synthesis processes, high cost of heavy metals, and potential environmental risks limit their large-scale mass production and application. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials, however, have become a research hotspot in the field of organic light-emitting materials due to their unique luminescence mechanism. In their molecular structure, electron donors (D) and electron acceptors (A) form a spatially twisted configuration through a specific connection, resulting in a high degree of separation between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), thus achieving extremely low singlet-triplet splitting energies. By converting triplet excitons into singlet excitons through reverse system crossing (RISC) to participate in luminescence, 100% exciton utilization can theoretically be achieved, without heavy metals and with low synthesis costs. This perfectly balances efficiency and economy, and is considered the core development direction for next-generation OLED light-emitting materials.

[0004] However, existing TADF materials still face many technical bottlenecks that restrict their industrial application in OLED devices. For example, the donor-acceptor structure matching of most TADF materials is insufficient, leading to Δ E ST Limited control precision; although some materials achieve small Δ... E ST However, it suffers from low luminescence quantum yield; simultaneously, insufficient molecular rigidity, excessive crystallinity, or poor solubility can easily lead to poor film formation quality during device fabrication, resulting in defects such as pinholes and phase separation. Therefore, developing molecularly controllable quantum yields with high luminescence yield is crucial. E STNovel TADF materials with precise control, high luminous efficiency, excellent thermal stability and carrier transport performance have become a key requirement for breaking through the current bottlenecks of OLED technology and promoting its large-scale commercialization. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a class of thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials containing dicarbonyl groups. By using heteroatoms and heavy atoms (O, S, and Se) in conjunction with dicarbonyl-containing quinoline as acceptor units, a small singlet-triplet energy level difference (Δ) is achieved. E ST Simultaneously, it enhances the self-selected orbital coupling (SOC) strength and promotes efficient reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). Furthermore, it effectively suppresses excited-state structural relaxation by utilizing intramolecular hydrogen bonding in dicarbonylquinoline, thereby achieving narrow-band emission and high color purity, and resulting in a higher external quantum efficiency (EQE) for the final fabricated OLED device.

[0035] The synthetic methods for compounds T1, T2, and T3 include the following steps: Example 1: Synthesis of compound A1:

[0036] 2-Nitro-4-bromobenzaldehyde (3.45 g, 15 mmol) was added to a round-bottom flask (250 mL) equipped with a magnetic inlet and dissolved in a mixture of ethyl acetate (30 mL) and methanol (30 mL).

[0037] Example 2 Synthesis of compounds A2-A4:

Then, 50 mL of dry dichloromethane was added, and the mixture was placed in a preheated oil bath and stirred at 80 °C for 12 h under an oxygen atmosphere. Subsequently, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under vacuum. The resulting mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography using petroleum ether:EA:CH2Cl2 = 50:1:1 (v:v:v) as the mobile phase, yielding a yellow oily product B1 (0.9 g, yield 41%). TOF-EI-MS: 394.9790 [M] + ].

[0047] Using a similar method to that used to prepare compound B1, except that substrate A5 was replaced with A6 (1.2 g, 6.65 mmol), all other steps were the same, yielding product B2 (1.1 g, 45% yield). TOF-EI-MS: 426.9334 [M] + ].

[0048] Using a similar method to that used to prepare compound B1, except that substrate A5 was replaced with A7 (2.1 g, 6.65 mmol), all other steps were the same, yielding product B3 (1.0 g, 35% yield). TOF-EI-MS: 522.8226 [M] + ].

[0049] Example 5 Synthesis of compounds T1, T2 and T3:

[0050] Under nitrogen protection, B1-3 (47 mg / 51 mg / 63 mg, 0.12 mmol), 9,9-dimethyl-10(9H)-acridine (30 mg, 0.144 mmol), tris(dibenzylacetone)dipalladium (6.6 mg, 0.0060 mmol), tri-tert-butylphosphine tetrafluoroborate (7 mg, 0.024 mmol), sodium tert-butoxide (46.0 mg, 0.48 mmol), and 20 ml of anhydrous toluene were added to a pre-dried three-necked flask and heated to 110 °C. The mixture was stirred at ℃ for 12 h. After the reaction was confirmed by TLC, the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation. The mixture was extracted with DCM-saturated brine and the organic phase dichloromethane was combined. The mixture after removing dichloromethane was purified by silica gel column chromatography with petroleum ether:EA:CH2Cl2 = 50:1:1 (v:v:v) as the mobile phase to obtain the crude product. The crude product was then recrystallized from dichloromethane / methanol to obtain products T1, T2 and T3 (37 mg / 31 mg / 32 mg, yield 60% / 55% / 40%). TOF-EI-MS: 524.1735 [M + ] / 556.1280[M + ] / 652.0618[M + ].

[0051] Using a method similar to that used to prepare compound T1, except that substrate B1 was replaced with B2 (51 mg, 0.12 mmol), and all other steps were the same, product T2 (31 mg, 55% yield) was obtained. TOF-EI-MS: 556.1280 [M] + ].

[0053] Example 6: DFT Theoretical Calculation Study Density functional theory simulations of the molecular structure were performed using the Gaussian09 program. The HOMO and LUMO distributions of the molecule are as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the HOMO electron cloud of the molecule is mainly distributed on the acridine donor group, while the LUMO electron cloud is mainly distributed on the dicarbonylquinoline group and the electron-withdrawing heteroatom group, with a small overlap. This theoretically proves that the molecule has the ability to transport holes and electrons. Compared with similar molecules, the dihedral angle between the donor and acceptor is larger, which promotes greater separation of the HOMO and LUMO of the molecule, resulting in a smaller Δ...E ST Furthermore, the frontier molecular orbitals are distributed on O, S, and Se atoms, demonstrating that heteroatoms or heavy atoms influence the electronic structure and excited-state properties of the molecule, thereby enhancing the spin-orbit coupling effect. Therefore, combining these two points, all molecules maintain a small energy level difference and increased spin-orbit coupling strength, enabling the molecules to maintain a high antisystem crossing rate and a high fluorescence quantum yield.

[0054] Example 7: Study of photophysical properties: At room temperature, using dry toluene as a solvent, the solution concentration is 1 × 10⁻⁶. -5 mol / L, the UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra at room temperature T1 and T2 were measured, such as Figure 4 As shown. The strong absorption band around 290-320 nm can be attributed to the dimethylacridine group center. and Electron transition absorption, while the absorption band at long wavelengths of 350-450 nm can be attributed to the dimethylacridine to dicarbonyl group. Absorption due to charge transfer state transitions. The fluorescence spectra of T1 and T3 in toluene both showed characteristics of lacking fine vibrational structure, confirming the CT luminescence characteristics.

[0055] To further estimate the excited-state energy levels of this series of molecules, their LT-FL and LT-PH spectra were measured. The low-temperature spectra of all molecules in this series did not reveal fine vibrational structures, indicating that their S1 and T1 states originate from charge states and exhibit relatively small energy differences. Figure 5 As shown. Based on the initial peaks of their respective spectra, the energy levels T1 and T3 are calculated.

[0056] Table 1. Physical property data of compounds T1 and T3

[0057] The transient spectra of this series of molecularly doped films were tested. Figure 6 As shown, at room temperature, the transient spectra of all molecules exhibit a double exponential decay characteristic of the transient and delayed components, proving the existence of TADF properties. The lifetimes of T1 and T3 are 10.2 µs and 8.2 µs, respectively.

[0058] Example 8: Electrochemical Properties Study A blank scan was performed at a scan rate of 100 mV / s, followed by the addition of T1 and T3, respectively, with dry dichloromethane and N , NUsing dimethylformamide as the solvent and tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (Bu4NPF6) as the electrolyte, after nitrogen bubbling for 10 min to remove oxygen, the positive and negative cyclic voltammetry curves for T1 and T3 were measured on a CHI610E electrochemical analyzer. Figure 7 Based on the initial oxidation and reduction peak potentials, and the formulas, the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of T1 and T3 were calculated to be 5.30 / 2.80 eV and 5.45 / 2.90 eV, respectively.

[0059] Example 9: Study on electroluminescence properties: Electroluminescent devices were prepared using the dicarbonyl-containing thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials T1 and T3 prepared in Example 5 as guest materials for the emitting layer. These devices were designated as sky-blue devices T1 and T3, respectively, and the devices were characterized and tested. The specific structure of the electroluminescent device is as follows: ITO / PEDOT:PSS (40 nm) / TAPC (10 nm) / mCP (5 nm) / T1 or T3:DPEPO (7 wt%, 20 nm) / TmPyPb (40 nm) / LiF (1 nm) / Al (200 nm), (dopants: T1, T2, and T3). In these devices, PEDOT:PSS and LiF serve as the hole and electron injection layers, respectively; TAPC and TmPyPB serve as the hole and electron transport layers, respectively. Furthermore, DPEPO is chosen as the host material because its triplet energy level is higher than that of the luminescent material, ensuring energy transfer from the host to the object and effectively preventing energy transfer from the luminescent material back to the host. Figure 8 The current density-voltage-luminance curves of sky-blue light-emitting devices fabricated using T1 and T3 as guest materials are shown in the figure. From this figure, it can be seen that the turn-on voltages of the devices are 3.2 V and 3.0 V, respectively, and the maximum luminance is 13000 cd / m². 2 and 34000 cd / m 2 The efficiency curves and electroluminescence spectra of the sky-blue light devices T1 and T3 are as follows: Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the maximum external quantum efficiencies of sky-blue light-emitting devices T1 and T3 are 26.0% and 30.2%, respectively. CIE (0.18, 0.33) and CIE (0.16, 0.23) values ​​are also shown. From the electroluminescence spectra of the devices, it can be seen that the emission peaks of sky-blue light-emitting devices T1 and T3 only contain emission peaks from the guest materials T1 and T3, respectively, without emission peaks from the host material or other materials. It is worth noting that sky-blue light-emitting device T3 achieves a brightness of 100 cd / m². -2 and at 1000 cd m -2The out-of-time quantum efficiencies were 22.5% and 12.2%, respectively. Compared with similar devices reported previously, the doped device fabricated using the small molecule T3 as the luminescent material exhibited an excellent efficiency roll-off. Therefore, combining theoretical calculations and photophysical testing results, it can be inferred that T1 and T3 possess both high efficiency and low roll-off characteristics.
