[0003] Such objectives are achieved by the present invention, which provides novel organic molecules.

[0004] According to the invention, said organic molecules are purely organic molecules, i.e. they do not contain any metal ions, unlike the metal complexes known to be used in optoelectronic devices. Effect of the Invention

[0005] The organic molecules according to the invention have a maximum emission in the deep blue, sky blue, green or yellow spectral range, preferably in the deep blue, sky blue and green spectral range, most preferably in the deep blue spectral range. The organic molecules have a maximum emission in particular at 420 nm to 520 nm, preferably at 440 nm to 495 nm, more preferably at 450 nm to 475 nm. The photoluminescence quantum yield of the organic molecules according to the invention is preferably 10% or more, more preferably 20% or more, even more preferably 30% or more, in particular 40% or more, particularly preferably 50% or more. The molecules according to the invention in particular exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The use of the molecules according to the invention in optoelectronic devices, for example organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), leads to higher efficiency of the device. The corresponding OLEDs have a higher stability than known emitter materials and OLEDs with similar hues, and / or when using the molecules according to the invention in OLED displays, a more accurate reproduction of the natural visible hues, i.e. a higher resolution of the displayed image, is achieved. In particular, said molecules can be used in combination with fluorescence emitters to allow so-called hyper-fluorescence. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0058] definition Here, the term "layer" broadly refers to a body or sheet having a planar shape. An optoelectronic device may be composed of multiple layers.

[0059] In the context of the present invention, an emissive layer (EML) is a layer of an optoelectronic device, where emission from said layer is observed upon application of a voltage and current to the device. One skilled in the art will appreciate that emission from an optoelectronic device is due to emission from at least one EML. A skilled artisan will appreciate that emission from an EML is typically not (predominantly) due to all materials contained in the EML, but rather due to a particular emitter material.

[0060] In the context of the present invention, an "emitter material" (also referred to as "emitter") is a material which, when included in an emissive layer (EML) of an optoelectronic device, emits light when a voltage and current is applied to the device. Emitter materials are generally "emissive dopant" materials. A dopant material (whether emissive or not) is a material incorporated into a matrix material, referred to herein as a host material, where the host material, when included in an optoelectronic device such as an OLED comprising at least one organic molecule according to the present invention, is generally a H B It is called.

[0061] In the context of the present invention, the term "cyclic group" is understood in the broadest sense as any monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic moiety.

[0062] In the context of the present invention, when referring to chemical structures, the term "ring" is understood in the broadest sense as any monocyclic moiety. In the same respect, when referring to chemical structures, the term "ring" is understood in the broadest sense as any bicyclic or polycyclic moiety.

[0063] In the context of this invention, a "ring system" is understood in the broadest sense as any monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic moiety.

[0064] In the context of this invention, the term "ring atom" refers to any atom that is part of the cyclic core of a ring or ring system and is not part of an acyclic substituent optionally attached to the cyclic core.

[0065] In the context of this invention, the term "carbocycle" is understood in its broadest sense as any cyclic group whose cyclic core structure contains only carbon atoms which may be substituted with hydrogen or any other substituent as defined in certain embodiments of this invention. The term "carbocyclic" is also understood as an adjective and refers to a cyclic group whose cyclic core structure contains only carbon atoms which may be substituted with hydrogen or any other substituent as defined in certain embodiments of this invention.

[0066] In the context of the present invention, the term "heterocycle" is understood in the broadest sense as any cyclic group whose cyclic core structure contains not only carbon atoms but also at least one heteroatom. The term "heterocyclic" is also understood as an adjective and refers to a cyclic group whose cyclic core structure contains not only carbon atoms but also at least one heteroatom. The heteroatoms may be the same or different in each case, unless otherwise specified in a specific embodiment, and may be individually selected from the group consisting of B, Si, N, O, S and Se, more preferably B, N, O and S, most preferably N, O and S. It goes without saying that all carbon atoms or heteroatoms contained in a heterocycle in the context of the present invention can be substituted with hydrogen or any other substituent defined in a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] One of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that any cyclic group (ie, any carbocyclic and heterocyclic ring) may be aliphatic, aromatic or heteroaromatic.

[0068] In the context of the present invention, when referring to a cyclic group (i.e., one ring, multiple rings, ring system, carbocyclic ring, heterocyclic ring), the term "aliphatic" means that it contains at least one ring atom that is not part of an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring or ring system of the cyclic core structure (not including optional attached substituents). Preferably, most of the ring atoms, more preferably all of the ring atoms in the aliphatic cyclic group are not part of an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring or ring system (e.g., in cyclohexane or piperidine). Here, when referring to an aliphatic ring or ring system in general, no distinction is made between a carbocyclic group and a heterocyclic group, and the term "aliphatic" is also used as an adjective to describe a carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring to indicate whether a heteroatom is included in the aliphatic ring group.

[0069] As will be understood by the skilled artisan, the terms "aryl" and "aromatic" are understood in their broadest sense to refer to any monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic aromatic moiety, i.e., a ring group in which all ring atoms are part of an aromatic ring system, preferably as part of the same aromatic ring system. However, throughout this application, the terms "aryl" and "aromatic" are restricted to monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic aromatic moieties in which all aromatic ring atoms are carbon atoms. In contrast, in this application, the terms "heteroaryl" and "heteroaromatic" refer to any monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic aromatic moiety in which one or more aromatic carbon ring atoms are replaced by a heteroatom (i.e., not carbon). Unless otherwise stated in a particular embodiment of the invention, the at least one heteroatom in a "heteroaryl" or "heteroaromatic" in each instance may be the same or different and may be individually selected from the group consisting of N, O, S, and Se, more preferably N, O, and S. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the adjectives "aromatic" and "heteroaromatic" are also used to describe any cyclic group (i.e., any ring system). That is, an aromatic cyclic group (i.e., aromatic ring system) is an aryl group, and a heteroaromatic cyclic group (i.e., heteroaromatic ring system) is a heteroaryl group.

[0070] Unless otherwise specified in a particular embodiment of the present invention, in this application, an aryl group preferably comprises 6 to 60 aromatic ring atoms, more preferably 6 to 40 aromatic ring atoms, even more preferably 6 to 18 aromatic ring atoms. Unless otherwise specified in a particular embodiment of the present invention, in this application, a heteroaryl group preferably comprises 5 to 60 aromatic ring atoms, more preferably 5 to 40 aromatic ring atoms, even more preferably 5 to 20 aromatic ring atoms, of which at least one is a heteroatom, preferably selected from N, O, S and Se, more preferably N, O and S. When more than one heteroatom comprises a heteroaromatic group, all heteroatoms are preferably selected, independently of one another, from N, O, S and Se, more preferably N, O and S.

[0071] In the context of the present invention, for both aromatic and heteroaromatic groups (e.g., aryl or heteroaryl substituents), the number of aromatic ring carbon atoms is indicated by a subscript in the definition of the particular substituent, e.g., "C 6 -C 60 The term "aryl" refers to any group of aryl that is an aliphatic, aromatic, or heteroaromatic group. This means that each aryl substituent contains from 6 to 60 aromatic carbon ring atoms. The same subscript numbers are used to indicate the number of carbon atoms permitted in all other types of substituents, whether aliphatic, aromatic, or heteroaromatic. For example, "C 1 -C 40 The term "alkyl" refers to an alkyl substituent containing from 1 to 40 carbon atoms.

[0072] Preferred examples of aryl groups include groups derived from benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, dihydropyrene, chrysene, perylene, fluoranthene, benzanthracene, benzophenanthrene, tetracene, pentacene, benzopyrene, or combinations of such groups.

[0073] Preferred examples of heteroaryl groups are furan, benzofuran, isobenzofuran, dibenzofuran, thiophene, benzothiophene, isobenzothiophene, dibenzothiophene; pyrrole, indole, isoindole, carbazole, indolocarbazole, pyridine, quinoline, isoquinoline, acridine, phenanthridine, benzo-5,6-quinoline, benzo-6,7-quinoline, benzo-7,8-quinoline, phenothiazine, phenoxazine, pyrazole, indazole, imidazole, benzimidazole, naphthoimidazole, phenanthroimidazole, pyridoimidazole, pyrazinoimidazole, quinoxalinoimidazole, oxazole, benzoxazole, naphthoxazole, anthroxazole, These include groups derived from phenanthroxazole, isoxazole, 1,2-thiazole, 1,3-thiazole, benzothiazole, pyridazine, benzopyridazine, pyrimidine, benzopyrimidine, 1,3,5-triazine, 1,2,4-triazine, 1,2,3-triazine, quinoxaline, pyrazine, phenazine, naphthyridine, carboline, benzocarboline, phenanthroline, 1,2,3-triazole, 1,2,4-triazole, benzotriazole, 1,2,3-oxadiazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,5-oxadiazole, 1,2,3,4-tetrazine, 1,2,4,5-tetrazine, purine, pteridine, indolizine and benzothiadiazole, or combinations of these groups.

[0074] The term "arylene" as used throughout this application refers to a divalent aryl substituent that possesses two attachment sites and serves as a linker structure to another molecular structure. In the same vein, the term "heteroarylene" refers to a divalent heteroaryl substituent that possesses two attachment sites and serves as a linker structure to another molecular structure.

[0075] In the context of the present invention, when referring to an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system, the term "fused" means that the "fused" aromatic or heteroaromatic rings share at least one bond that is part of both ring systems. For example, naphthalene (or naphthyl when referred to as a substituent) or benzothiophene (or benzothiophenyl when referred to as a substituent) are considered as fused aromatic ring systems in the context of the present invention, where the two benzene rings (in the case of naphthalene) or thiophene and benzene (in the case of benzothiophene) share one bond. Sharing a bond in such a context is also understood to include sharing the two atoms that constitute each bond, and a fused aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system is also understood as one aromatic or heteroaromatic system. It is also understood that one or more bonds are shared by the aromatic or heteroaromatic rings that constitute the fused aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system (e.g., in pyrene). An aliphatic ring system may also be fused, which will be understood to have the same meaning as an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system, except that a fused aliphatic ring system is not aromatic. An aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system may also be fused (i.e., share at least one bond) with an aliphatic ring system.

[0076] In the context of this invention the term "condensed" ring system has the same meaning as a "fused" ring system.

[0077] In certain embodiments of the invention, adjacent substituents attached to a ring or ring system can form a further monocyclic or polycyclic, aliphatic, aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system fused to the aromatic or heteroaromatic ring or ring system to which said substituents are attached. Optionally, the fused ring system so formed is also understood to be larger (meaning containing more ring atoms) than the aromatic or heteroaromatic ring or ring system to which the adjacent substituents are attached. In that case (and when such a number is provided), the "total" number of ring atoms contained in the fused ring system must be understood to be the sum of the ring atoms contained in the aromatic or heteroaromatic ring or ring system. Although adjacent substituents are bonded and the ring atoms of the additional ring system are formed by the adjacent substituents, the ring atoms shared by the fused rings are counted once, not twice. For example, a benzene ring can have two adjacent substituents forming yet another benzene ring, such that a naphthalene core is formed. The naphthalene core will contain 10 ring atoms, since two carbon atoms are shared by the two benzene rings and counted only once, not twice. In this context, the term "adjacent substituents" means substituents that are attached to the same or adjacent atoms.

[0078] Generally, in the context of the present invention, the term "adjacent substituents" or "adjacent groups" means substituents or groups which are attached to the same or adjacent atoms.

[0079] In the context of the present invention, the term "alkyl group" is understood in the broadest sense as any linear, branched or cyclic alkyl substituent. In particular, the term "alkyl" refers to the substituents methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), n-propyl (N-propyl ... ethyl (Et), ethyl (Et), ethyl (Et), ethyl (Et), ethyl (Et), ethyl (Et), ethyl (Et), ethyl (Et), ethyl (Et), ethyl (E n Pr), i-propyl ( i Pr), cyclopropyl, n-butyl ( n Bu), i-Butyl ( i Bu), s-Butyl ( s Bu), t-Butyl ( tBu), cyclobutyl, 2-methylbutyl, n-pentyl, s-pentyl, t-pentyl, 2-pentyl, neo-pentyl, cyclopentyl, n-hexyl, s-hexyl, t-hexyl, 2-hexyl, 3-hexyl, neo-hexyl, cyclohexyl, 1-methylcyclopentyl, 2-methylpentyl, n-heptyl, 2-heptyl, 3-heptyl, 4-heptyl, cycloheptyl, 1-methylcyclohexyl Cyl, n-octyl, 2-ethylhexyl, cyclooctyl, 1-bicyclo[2,2,2]octyl, 2-bicyclo[2,2,2]octyl, 2-(2,6-dimethyl)octyl, 3-(3,7-dimethyl)octyl, adamantyl, 1,1-dimethyl-n-hex-1-yl, 1,1-dimethyl-n-hept-1-yl, 1,1-dimethyl-n-oct-1-yl, 1,1-dimethyl-n-dec-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-dodec-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-tetradec-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-hexadecit-1-yl, 1,1-Dimethyl-n-octadec-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-hex-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-hept-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-oct-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-dec-1-yl, 1,1-Diethyl-n-dodec-1-yl , 1,1-diethyl-n-tetradec-1-yl, 1,1-diethyl-n-hexadec-1-yl, 1,1-diethyl-n-octadec-1-yl, 1-(n-propyl)-cyclohex-1-yl, 1-(n-butyl)-cyclohex-1-yl, 1-(n-hexyl)-cyclohex-1-yl, 1-(n-octyl)-cyclohex-1-yl and 1-(n-decyl)-cyclohex-1-yl.

[0080] For example, in s-butyl, s-pentyl, and s-hexyl, the "s" means "secondary", i.e., s-butyl, s-pentyl, and s-hexyl are the same as sec-butyl, sec-pentyl, and sec-hexyl, respectively. For example, in t-butyl, t-pentyl, and t-hexyl, the "t" means "tertiary", i.e., t-butyl, t-pentyl, and t-hexyl are the same as tert-butyl, tert-pentyl, and tert-hexyl, respectively.

[0081] As used throughout this specification, the term "alkenyl" includes straight-chain, branched and cyclic alkenyl substituents. The term "alkenyl group" includes, for example, the substituents ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl, cyclopentenyl, hexenyl, cyclohexenyl, heptenyl, cycloheptenyl, octenyl, cyclooctenyl or cyclooctadienyl.

[0082] As used throughout this specification, the term "alkynyl" includes straight-chain, branched and cyclic alkynyl substituents. The term "alkynyl group" includes, for example, ethynyl, propynyl, butynyl, pentynyl, hexynyl, heptynyl or octynyl.

[0083] As used throughout this specification, the term "alkoxy" includes straight chain, branched and cyclic alkoxy substituents. The term "alkoxy group" includes, for example, methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, i-propoxy, n-butoxy, i-butoxy, s-butoxy, t-butoxy and 2-methylbutoxy.

[0084] The term "thioalkoxy" as used throughout this specification includes straight chain, branched and cyclic thioalkoxy substituents, where the O in the exemplary alkoxy group is replaced with an S.

[0085] The term "halogen" (or, when referring to a substituent in chemical nomenclature, "halo") as used throughout this specification is also understood in its broadest sense to be any atom of an element of the seventh main group (i.e., group 17) of the Periodic Table of the Elements, preferably fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine.

[0086] When a molecular fragment is described as being attached to a substituent or other moiety, the name may be described as just the fragment (e.g., naphthyl, dibenzofuryl) or as the whole molecule (e.g., naphthalene, dibenzofuran). As used herein, the above ways of describing the substituent or attached fragment are considered equivalent.

[0087] In addition, in this application, "C 6 -C 60 aryl" or "C 1 -C 40 Whenever a substituent such as "alkyl" is referred to without a name indicating the point of attachment within that substituent, this means that the respective substituent may be attached via any atom. For example, "C 6 -C 60 "Aryl" substituents are attached via any 6 to 60 aromatic carbon atoms and are defined as "C 1 -C 40 An "alkyl" substituent is attached via any 1 to 40 aliphatic carbon atoms, while a "2-cyanophenyl" substituent is attached only in a manner such that its CN group is adjacent to the site of attachment in a manner that allows for accurate chemical nomenclature.

[0088] In the context of the present invention, whenever a substituent such as "butyl", "biphenyl" or "terphenyl" is mentioned without further details, this means that any isomer of the respective substituent is acceptable for that particular substituent. In this regard, for example, the term "butyl" as a substituent includes n-butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl and iso-butyl as substituents. Similarly, the term "biphenyl" as a substituent includes ortho-biphenyl, meta-biphenyl or para-biphenyl, where ortho, meta and para are defined with respect to the site of attachment of the biphenyl substituent to the respective chemical moiety carrying the biphenyl substituent. Similarly, the term "terphenyl" includes as substituents 3-ortho-terphenyl, 4-ortho-terphenyl, 4-meta-terphenyl, 5-meta-terphenyl, 2-para-terphenyl or 3-para-terphenyl, where ortho, meta and para indicate the positions of the two Ph moieties in the terphenyl group relative to each other, and "2-", "3-", "4-" and "5-" indicate the positions of attachment of the terphenyl substituent to the respective chemical moieties bearing the terphenyl substituent, as known to the skilled artisan.

[0089] It is understood that all of the above defined groups, and indeed all chemical moieties, whether cyclic or acyclic, aliphatic, aromatic or heteroaromatic, may be further substituted by specific embodiments described herein.

[0090] In this embodiment, where groups are defined differently from the general definition given herein, the definition in this embodiment applies.

[0091] All hydrogen atoms (H) contained in any structure referred to in this application are also replaced, in each case independently of one another, with deuterium (D), unless specifically stated otherwise. The replacement of hydrogen with deuterium is common practice and will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0092] When comparing experimental or calculated data, values ​​must be determined by the same methodology. For example, a specified method must be used to determine the experimental ΔE ST is determined to be less than 0.4 eV, comparisons are only valid if the same specific method involving the same conditions is used. To give a specific example, a comparison of the photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) of different compounds is only valid if the PLQY determinations are performed using the same protocol under the same reaction conditions (e.g., measurements at room temperature on 10% PMMA film). Also, the calculated energy values ​​must be determined using the same calculation method (with the same functions and the same basis set).

[0093] Superfluorescence is a concept related to light emission from optoelectronic devices, especially OLEDs, where at least one emissive layer comprises one or more TADF materials and one or more fluorescent emitters. In superfluorescence, at least one TADF material can convert a triplet excited state to a singlet excited state by reverse-intersystem-crossing (RISC) and emit light after transferring the excitation energy to at least one fluorescent emitter. This allows for harvesting of triplet excitons for efficient fluorescence generation.

[0094] Optoelectronic devices comprising organic molecules according to the invention A further aspect of the invention relates to an optoelectronic device comprising an organic molecule according to the invention.

[0095] In one embodiment, the optoelectronic device comprising the organic molecule according to the present invention is selected from the group consisting of: Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), Light-emitting electrochemical cells, OLED sensors, especially gas and steam sensors that are not completely isolated from the outside, Organic diodes, ·Organic solar cells, Organic transistors, Organic field-effect transistors, Organic lasers, and Down conversion element.

[0096] The light-emitting electrochemical cell consists of three layers: a cathode, an anode and an active layer comprising the organic molecules according to the invention.

[0097] In a preferred embodiment, the optoelectronic device comprising the organic molecules according to the invention is selected from the group consisting of an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a light emitting electrochemical cell (LEC), an organic laser and a light emitting transistor.

[0098] In a more preferred embodiment, the optoelectronic device comprising the organic molecules according to the present invention is an organic light emitting diode (OLED).

[0099] In one embodiment, the optoelectronic device comprising the organic molecules according to the invention is an OLED having the following layer structure: 1. Substrate 2. Anode layer A 3. Hole injection layer (HIL) 4. Hole transport layer (HTL) 5.Electron blocking layer (EBL) 6. Emitting layer (EML) 7. Hole Blocking Layer (HBL) 8.Electron transport layer (ETL) 9.Electron injection layer (EIL) 10. Cathode layer C Here, the OLED (having an inverted stacked layer structure) optionally includes each layer except for the anode layer A, the cathode layer C, and the light-emitting layer EML, and different layers are combined, and the OLED may include one or more layers of each layer type defined above.

[0100] Optoelectronic devices comprising at least one organic molecule according to the present invention may also optionally comprise one or more protective layers to protect the device from damaging exposure to harmful substances in the environment including, for example, moisture, vapor and / or gases.

[0101] In one embodiment of the present invention, the optoelectronic device comprising the organic molecules according to the present invention is an OLED having the following inverted layer structure: 1. Substrate 2. Cathode layer C 3.Electron injection layer (EIL) 4.Electron transport layer (ETL) 5. Hole Blocking Layer (HBL) 6. Emitting layer (EML) 7.Electron blocking layer (EBL) 8.

Anode layer A Here, the OLED may optionally include each layer except for the anode layer A, the cathode layer C, and the light-emitting layer EML, and different layers may be combined, and the OLED may include one or more layers of each layer type defined above.

[0102] The organic molecules according to the invention (according to the above-mentioned embodiments) can be used in various layers depending on the specific structure and substitution. When used, in each layer of the optoelectronic device, in particular the OLED, the fraction of the organic molecules according to the invention is 0.1 to 99% by weight, more particularly 1 to 80% by weight. In an alternative embodiment, in each layer, the proportion of the organic molecules is 100% by weight.

[0103] In one embodiment, the optoelectronic device comprising the organic molecules according to the present invention is an OLED that can have a stacked structure. In said structure, individual units are stacked on top of each other, unlike the general arrangement in which OLEDs are arranged side by side. Mixed light is generated by an OLED that exhibits a stacked structure, and in particular, white light is generated by stacking a blue OLED, a green OLED and a red OLED. An OLED that exhibits a stacked structure may also optionally include a charge generation layer (CGL), which is generally located between two OLED subunits and is generally configured as an n-doped layer and a p-doped layer. Generally, the n-doped layer of one CGL is located closer to the anode layer.

[0104] In one embodiment, the optoelectronic device comprising the organic molecules according to the present invention is an OLED comprising two or more light-emitting layers between an anode and a cathode.In particular, the so-called tandem OLED comprises three light-emitting layers, where one light-emitting layer emits red light, one light-emitting layer emits green light, and one light-emitting layer emits blue light, and may optionally comprise additional layers between each light-emitting layer, such as a charge generation layer, a charge blocking layer, or a charge transport layer.In a further embodiment, the light-emitting layers are stacked adjacent to each other.In a further embodiment, the tandem OLED comprises a charge generation layer between each two light-emitting layers.Also, adjacent light-emitting layers or light-emitting layers separated by a charge generation layer can be merged.

[0105] In one embodiment, an optoelectronic device comprising an organic molecule according to the invention may be an essentially white optoelectronic device, meaning that the device emits white light. For example, such a white optoelectronic device may comprise at least one (deep) blue emitter molecule and one or more emitter molecules emitting green and / or red light. There may then be selective energy transfer between the two or more molecules, as explained later in this text.

[0106] In the case of an optoelectronic device comprising an organic molecule according to the invention, at least one organic molecule according to the invention is included in the light-emitting layer (EML) of the optoelectronic device, most preferably in the EML of an OLED. However, the organic molecule according to the invention is also used, for example, in an electron transport layer (ETL) and / or an electron blocking layer (EBL) or an exciton blocking layer and / or a hole transport layer (HTL) and / or a hole blocking layer (HBL). When used, the fraction of the organic molecule according to the invention in each layer of the optoelectronic device, in particular in the OLED, is 0.1 to 99% by weight, more particularly 1 to 80% by weight. In an alternative embodiment, in each layer, the proportion of the organic molecule is 100% by weight.

[0107] The selection criteria for materials suitable for the individual layers of optoelectronic devices, in particular OLEDs, form part of the common knowledge of the person skilled in the art. The state of the art shows many substances used for the individual layers, informing which substances are suitable for use together with each other. It is understood that any substance used in the state of the art can also be used in optoelectronic devices comprising organic molecules according to the invention. Below, preferred examples of substances for the individual layers will be given. As mentioned above, it is understood that this does not mean that all types of layers listed below must be present in an optoelectronic device comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention. Furthermore, it is understood that an optoelectronic device comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention comprises one or more of the respective layers listed below, such as for example two or more light-emitting layers (EMLs). It is also understood that two or more layers of the same type (for example two or more EMLs, or two or more HTLs) do not necessarily comprise the same substances, or even the same substances in the same proportions. Also, an optoelectronic device comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention does not necessarily comprise all the types of layers listed below, where an anode layer, a cathode layer and an emissive layer are generally present in all cases.

[0108] The substrate is made of any material or composition of materials. Mostly, a glass slide is used as the substrate. Alternatively, a thin metal layer (e.g. copper, gold, silver or aluminum film) or a plastic film or a plastic slide can be used, which allows a higher level of flexibility. The anode layer A is made of a material that allows obtaining a mostly (essentially) transparent film. Since at least one of the two electrodes must be (essentially) transparent to allow light emission from the OLED, one of the anode layer A or the cathode layer C is transparent. Preferably, the anode layer A is rich in or consists of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs). Such an anode layer A may comprise, for example, indium tin oxide, aluminum zinc oxide, fluorine doped tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, PbO, SnO, zirconium oxide, molybdenum oxide, vanadium oxide, tungsten oxide, graphite, doped Si, doped Ge, doped GaAs, doped polyaniline, doped polypyrrole and / or doped polythiophene.

[0109] Preferably, the anode layer A is (essentially) indium tin oxide (ITO) (e.g., (InO 3 ) 0.9 (SnO 2 ) 0.1 The roughness of the anode layer A due to the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) is also mitigated by using a hole injection layer (HIL). The HIL also facilitates the injection of like charge carriers (i.e. holes) in that the transport of like charge carriers from the TCO to the hole transport layer (HTL) is promoted. The hole injection layer (HIL) is made of poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT), polystyrenesulfonic acid (PSS), MoO 2 , V 2 O 5, CuPC or CuI, in particular a mixture of PEDOT and PSS. The hole injection layer (HIL) can also prevent diffusion of metals from the anode layer A into the hole transport layer (HTL). For example, the HIL can be poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene:polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT), 4,4',4"-tris[phenyl(m-tolyl)amino]triphenylamine (mMTDATA), 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(n,n-diphenylamino)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (Spiro-TAD), N1,N1'-(biphenyl-4,4'-diyl)bis(N1-phenyl-N4,N4-di-m-tolylbenzene-1,4-diamine (DNTPD), N,N'-nis-(1-naphthalene-2-yl)phenylamine (NAPH), N,N'-bis ... It is also composed of N,N'-triphenyl-N,N'-bis-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine (NPB), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di-[4-(N,N-diphenylamino)phenyl]benzidine (NPNPB), N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)benzidine (MeO-TPD), 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) and / or N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis-(1-naphthyl)-9,9'-spirobifluorene-2,7-diamine (Spiro-NPD).

[0110] Adjacent to the anode layer A or the hole injection layer (HIL) is generally a hole transport layer (HTL). Any hole transport material can be used here. For example, electron-rich heteroaromatic compounds such as triarylamines and / or carbazoles are also used as hole transport compounds. The HTL can reduce the energy barrier between the anode layer A and the light-emitting layer (EML). The hole transport layer (HTL) can also be an electron blocking layer (EBL). Preferably, the hole transport compound has a lowest excited triplet state T1 at a relatively high energy level. For example, the hole transport layer (HTL) may be made of tris(4-carbazolyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA), poly(4-butylphenyl-diphenylamine) (poly-TPD), poly(4-butylphenyl-diphenylamine) (α-NPD), 4,4'-cyclohexylidene-bis[N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)benzeneamine] (TAPC), 4,4',4"-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)-amino]triphenylamine (2-TNATA), 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(n,n-diphenylamino)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (Spiro-TAD), N1,N1'-(biphenyl-4,4'-diyl)bis(N1-phenyl-N4,N4-di-m-tolylbenzene-1,4-diamine (DNTPD), N,N'-bis-(1-naphthalene) The HTL may also comprise a star-shaped heterocyclic compound such as N,N'-bis-phenyl-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine (NPB), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di-[4-(N,N-diphenylamino)phenyl]benzidine (NPNPB), N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)benzidine (MeO-TPD), 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylene-hexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) and / or 9,9'-diphenyl-6-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-9H,9'H-3,3'-bicarbazole (TrisPcz). The HTL may also comprise a p-doped layer composed of an inorganic or organic dopant in an organic hole-transporting matrix.The inorganic dopant may be, for example, a transition metal oxide such as vanadium oxide, molybdenum oxide or tungsten oxide. The organic dopant may be, for example, tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F. 4 -TCNQ), copper-pentafluorobenzoate (Cu(I)pFBz) or transition metal complexes can be used.

[0111] The EBL may include, for example, 1,3-bis(carbazol-9-yl)benzene (mCP), tris(4-carbazolyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA), 4,4′,4″-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)amino]triphenylamine (2-TNATA), 3,3-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl (mCBP), 9-phenyl-3,6-bis(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-9H-carbazole (tris-Pcz), 9-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-3,6-bis(triphenylsilyl)-9H-carbazole (CzSi), and / or N,N′-dicarbazolyl-1,4-dimethylbenzene (DCB).

[0112] Adjacent to the hole transport layer (HTL) or (if present) the electron blocking layer (EBL) is typically an emissive layer (EML). The emissive layer (EML) contains at least one emissive molecule (i.e., emitter material). The EML typically further contains one or more host materials (also called matrix materials). For example, the host material may be 4,4'-bis-(N-carbazolyl)-biphenyl (CBP), 1,3-bis(carbazol-9-yl)benzene (mCP), 3,3-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl (mCBP), dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-2-yltriphenylsilane (Sif87), 9-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-3,6-bis(triphenylsilyl)-9H-carbazole (CzSi), dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-2-yl)diphenylsilane (Sif88), bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]etheroxide (DPEPO), 9-[3-(dibenzofuran-2-yl)phenyl]-9H carbazole, 9-[3-(dibenzofuran-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3-(dibenzothiophen-2-yl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3,5-bis(2-dibenzofuranyl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 9-[3,5-bis(2-dibenzothiophenyl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole, 2,4,6-tris(biphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (T2T), 2,4,6-tris(triphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (T3T) and / or 2,4,6-tris(9,9'-spirobifluoren-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (TST). As known to those skilled in the art, the host material should generally be selected to exhibit a first (i.e., lowest) excited triplet state (T1) and a first (i.e., lowest) excited singlet state (S1) energy level that is higher in energy than the first (i.e., lowest) excited triplet state (T1) and the first (i.e., lowest) excited singlet state (S1) energy level of at least one emitter molecule incorporated into the respective host material.

[0113] As mentioned above, in the context of the present invention, it is preferred that at least one EML of an optoelectronic device comprises at least one molecule according to the invention. Preferred compositions of EMLs of optoelectronic devices comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention are explained in more detail in a later section of the text (see below).

[0114] Adjacent to the light-emitting layer (EML) may be an electron-transporting layer (ETL). Any electron-transporting material may be used here. Exemplarily, electron-deficient compounds such as benzimidazole, pyridine, triazole, triazine, oxadiazole (e.g., 1,3,4-oxadiazole), phosphine oxide, and sulfone may be used. The electron-transporting material may also be a star-shaped heterocyclic compound such as 1,3,5-tri(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenyl (TPBi). The ETL may be, for example, 2,9-bis(naphthalene-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (NBphen), aluminum-tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) (Alq 3 ), diphenyl-4-triphenylsilylphenyl-phosphine oxide (TSPO1), 2,7-di(2,2'-bipyridin-5-yl)triphenyl (BPyTP2), dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-2-yltriphenylsilane (Sif87), dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-2-yl)diphenylsilane (Sif88), 1,3-bis[3,5-di(pyridin-3-yl)phenyl]benzene (BmPyPhB), and / or 4,4'-bis-[2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazinyl)]-1,1'-biphenyl (BTB). Optionally, the ETL is doped with a material such as 8-hydroxyquinolinolatolithium (Liq). The electron transport layer (ETL) can also block holes. Alternatively, a hole blocking layer (HBL) is typically introduced between the EML and the ETL.

[0115] The hole blocking layer (HBL) may be, for example, 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline=bathocuproine (BCP), 4,6-diphenyl-2-(3-(triphenylsilyl)phenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, 9,9'-(5-(6-([1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)-2-phenylpyrimidin-4-yl)-1,3-phenylene)bis(9H-carbazole), bis(8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline)-(4-phenylphenoxy)aluminum (BAlq), 2,9-bis(naphthalene-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (NBphen), aluminum-tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)(Alq 3 ), diphenyl-4-triphenylsilylphenyl-phosphine oxide (TSPO1), 2,4,6-tris(biphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (T2T), 2,4,6-tris(triphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (T3T), 2,4,6-tris(9,9'-spirobifluoren-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (TST), and / or 1,3,5-tris(N-carbazolyl)benzene / 1,3,5-tris(carbazol-9-yl)benzene (TCB / TCP).

[0116] Adjacent to the electron transport layer (ETL) may be a cathode layer C. The cathode layer C may, for example, comprise or consist of a metal (e.g. Al, Au, Ag, Pt, Cu, Zn, Ni, Fe, Pb, LiF, Ca, Ba, Mg, In, W or Pd) or a metal alloy. For practical reasons, the cathode layer C may also consist of an (essentially) opaque metal such as Mg, Ca or Al. Alternatively or additionally, the cathode layer C may also comprise graphite and / or carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Alternatively, the cathode layer C may also comprise or consist of nanoscale silver wires.

[0117] An OLED comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention may optionally further comprise a protective layer, also called an electron injection layer (EIL), between the electron transport layer (ETL) and the cathode layer C. Such layers include lithium fluoride, cesium fluoride, silver, 8-hydroxyquinolinolatolithium (Liq), Li 2 O, BaF 2 , MgO and / or NaF.

[0118] Optionally, the electron transport layer (ETL) and / or the hole blocking layer (HBL) may also comprise one or more host materials.

[0119] As used herein, unless more specifically defined in a particular context, the hue designations of emitted and / or absorbed light are as follows: Purple: >380~420nm wavelength range Deep blue: wavelength range >420~480nm Sky blue: Wavelength range >480~500nm Green: >500~560nm wavelength range Yellow: >560~580nm wavelength range Orange: >580~620nm wavelength range Red: Wavelength range of >620~800nm.

[0120] Associated with the emitter molecule (i.e., emitter material), such a hue indicates the maximum emission of the primary emission peak. Thus, for example, a deep blue emitter has a maximum emission in the range >420-480 nm, a sky blue emitter has a maximum emission in the range >480-500 nm, a green emitter has a maximum emission in the range >500-560 nm, and a red emitter has a maximum emission in the range >620-800 nm.

It is generally greater than 420 nm, preferably greater than 430 nm, more preferably greater than 440 nm, or even greater than 450 nm. In one embodiment, the organic molecules according to the invention generally exhibit a maximum emission of 440 to 500 nm, more preferably 445 to 495 nm, and most preferably 450 to 490 nm, measured at room temperature (i.e. (about) 20° C.) from a spin-coated film containing 10% by weight of the organic molecules according to the invention in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).

[0122] Yet another embodiment relates to an OLED comprising at least one organic molecule according to the present invention and emitting light having CIEx and CIEy color coordinates close to the CIEx (=0.131) and CIEy (=0.046) color coordinates of primary blue (CIEx=0.131 and CIEy=0.046) as defined by ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020 (Rec.2020), which is suitable for use in UHD (Ultra High Definition) displays, e.g. UHD-TV.

[0125] Yet another embodiment relates to an OLED that emits light having CIEx and CIEy color coordinates close to the CIEx (=0.170) and CIEy (=0.797) color coordinates of primary green (CIEx=0.170 and CIEy=0.797) as defined by ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020 (Rec.2020), which is suitable for use in UHD displays, such as UHD-TVs. In this paragraph, the term "close" refers to the range of CIEx and CIEy color coordinates provided at the end of this paragraph. While in commercial applications, a top light-emitting element (where the top electrode is transparent) is typically used, the test element used throughout the present invention shows a bottom light-emitting element (where the bottom electrode and substrate are transparent).

[0126] Yet another preferred embodiment has a luminance of 14500 cd / m 2 and / or an external quantum efficiency of more than 10%, preferably more than 13%, more preferably more than 15%, even more preferably more than 17%, or even more than 20%; and / or an emission maximum between 500 nm and 560 nm, preferably between 510 nm and 550 nm, more preferably between 520 nm and 540 nm; and / or an emission maximum of 14500 cd / m 2 The present invention relates to an OLED comprising at least one organic molecule according to the present invention, which exhibits a LT97 value of more than 100 h, preferably more than 250 h, more preferably more than 500 h, even more preferably more than 750 h, or even more preferably more than 1000 h.

[0127] Yet another preferred embodiment concerns an OLED comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention and emitting at a well-defined color point. According to the invention, the OLED emits light with a narrow emission band (small full width at half maximum (FWHM)). In a preferred embodiment, the OLED comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention emits light with a FWHM of the main emission peak of less than 0.50 eV, preferably less than 0.48 eV, more preferably less than 0.45 eV, more preferably less than 0.43 eV, more preferably less than 0.40 eV, more preferably less than 0.35 eV, even more preferably less than 0.30 eV, or even more preferably less than 0.25 eV.

[0128] According to the invention, optoelectronic devices comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention can be used, for example, as displays, light sources for lighting applications and as light sources for medical and / or cosmetic applications (eg phototherapy).

[0129] Combination of organic molecules and additional substances according to the present invention It forms part of general knowledge for a person skilled in the art that any layer within an optoelectronic device, here preferably an OLED, in particular the light-emitting layer (EML), may consist of a single material or a combination of different materials.

[0130] For example, those skilled in the art will understand that an EML is composed of a single material that emits light when a voltage (and current) is applied to the device. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that in the EML of an optoelectronic device (here, preferably an OLED), different materials may be present, in particular one or more host materials (i.e., matrix materials; here, when included in an optoelectronic device comprising at least one organic molecule according to the present invention, the host material H B It will be appreciated that it is advantageous to combine a dopant material (referred to as an emitter material) with one or more dopant materials (ie, emitter materials), at least one of which emits light upon application of a voltage and current to the device.

[0131] In a preferred embodiment of the use of the organic molecules according to the invention in an optoelectronic device, said optoelectronic device comprises at least one organic molecule according to the invention in the EML, or in a layer directly adjacent to the EML, or in one or more of these layers.

[0132] In a preferred embodiment of the use of the organic molecules according to the invention in an optoelectronic device, said optoelectronic device is an OLED and comprises at least one organic molecule according to the invention in the EML, or in a layer directly adjacent to the EML, or in one or more of these layers.

[0133] In a more preferred embodiment of the use of the organic molecules according to the invention in an optoelectronic device, said optoelectronic device is an OLED and comprises at least one organic molecule according to the invention in an EML. The skilled person will understand that this means that at least one organic molecule according to the invention is, for example, in the host material H of the respective EML. B (i.e., a matrix material), or at least one host material H B It is understood that the term "optoelectronic device" means that the dopant (material) can be used as an emissive (i.e., an emitter material) or non-emissive (i.e., does not emit light when a voltage and current is applied to the optoelectronic device).

[0134] In one embodiment relating to an optoelectronic device, preferably an OLED, comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention, at least one, preferably each organic molecule according to the invention is used as an emitter material in an emissive layer EML, i.e. it emits light when a voltage (and current) is applied across the device.

[0135] In another embodiment relating to an optoelectronic device, preferably an OLED, comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention, at least one, preferably each, organic molecule according to the invention is present in the emissive layer EML but does not emit light when a voltage (and current) is applied to the device, i.e. the at least one organic molecule according to the invention is then in a host material HB or non-emissive dopants, both of which are known to those skilled in the art.

[0136] In one embodiment of an optoelectronic device, preferably an OLED, comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention, the one or more organic molecules according to the invention are comprised in at least one EML. The skilled person will understand that this means that the one or more organic molecules according to the invention are either emitter materials (i.e. emissive dopant materials) in the EML or host materials H in the EML. B or both are non-emissive dopant materials in the EML, or the organic molecules are, independently of each other, a host material H B , is understood to mean selected from emitter materials (i.e., luminescent dopant materials) or non-luminescent dopant materials.

[0137] As known to those skilled in the art, for example, in an organic light emitting diode (OLED), emission from an emitter material (i.e., an emissive dopant) includes fluorescence from an excited singlet state (generally the lowest excited singlet state S1) and phosphorescence from an excited triplet state (generally the lowest excited triplet state T1).

[0138] Fluorescent emitter F can emit light at room temperature (i.e., (about) 20° C.) upon electronic excitation (e.g., in an optoelectronic device), and the emissive excited state is a singlet state. Fluorescent emitters generally exhibit immediate (i.e., direct) fluorescence on the nanosecond time scale when initial electronic excitation (e.g., by electron-hole recombination) provides an excited singlet state of the emitter.

[0139] In the context of the present invention, a delayed fluorescent material is a material that can reach an excited triplet state (generally the lowest excited triplet state T1) to an excited singlet state (generally the lowest excited singlet state S1) by reverse intersystem crossing (RISC; i.e., up-intersystem crossing or reverse intersystem crossing) and can emit light when returning from the excited singlet state (generally S1) thus reached to the electronic ground state. The time scale (generally in the microsecond range) at which the observed fluorescence emission occurs after RISC from an excited triplet state (generally T1) to an excited singlet state (generally S1) is slower than the time scale (generally in the nanosecond range) at which direct (i.e., immediate) fluorescence occurs, and is therefore referred to as delayed fluorescence (DF). When RISC from an excited triplet state (generally from T1) to an excited singlet state (generally to S1) occurs via thermal activation and the excited singlet state thus filled emits light (delayed fluorescence emission), the process is referred to as thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Therefore, a TADF material is a material that can emit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) as described above. The lowest excited singlet state energy level E(S1 E ) and the lowest excited triplet state energy level E(T1 E ) and the energy difference ΔE ST It is known to those skilled in the art that the switching from the lowest excited singlet state to the lowest excited triplet state by RISC occurs with high efficiency if ΔE ST It forms part of the general knowledge of the person skilled in the art that TADF materials have a value (see below). As known to the person skilled in the art, a TADF material is not simply a material capable of RISC on its own from an excited triplet state to an excited singlet state with subsequent release of TADF as described above. A TADF material is in fact a material that consists of two types of materials, preferably two host materials H B More preferably, the p-host material H P and n-host material H N It is known to those skilled in the art that the exciplex formed is (see below).

[0140] The (thermally activated) delayed fluorescence evolution is analyzed, for example, based on decay curves obtained from time-resolved (i.e., transient) photoluminescence (PL) measurements. For this, spin-coated films of 1-10 wt. %, in particular 10 wt. %, of each emitter (i.e., the assumed TADF material) in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) are used as samples. The analysis is performed, for example, using an FS5 fluorescence spectrometer from Edinburgh Instruments. A nitrogen atmosphere is maintained while the sample PMMA film is placed in a cuvette and measured. Data collection is performed using the well-established time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC, see below) technique. Measurements can be performed and combined in four time domains (200 ns, 1 μs, 20 μs and even longer measurement periods of >80 μs) in order to collect the entire decay dynamics over several orders of magnitude in time and signal intensity (see below).

[0141] TADF materials preferably meet the following two conditions in relation to the overall decay dynamics described above: (i) the decay dynamics exhibit two time domains, one in the nanosecond (ns) range and the other in the microsecond (μs) range; and (ii) The emission spectral morphology is consistent in the two time domains.

[0142] Here, the portion of the light emitted in the first decay region is considered to be immediate fluorescence, and the portion of the light emitted in the second decay region is considered to be delayed fluorescence.

[0143] The ratio of delayed to immediate fluorescence is expressed in the form of the so-called n-value, which is calculated by integrating the respective photoluminescence decays over time according to the following equation:

[0144]

number

[0145] In the context of the present invention, a TADF material preferably exhibits an n-value (ratio of delayed to immediate fluorescence) of greater than 0.05 (n>0.05), more preferably greater than 0.1 (n>0.1), even more preferably greater than 0.15 (n>0.15), particularly preferably greater than 0.2 (n>0.20) or even more preferably greater than 0.25 (n>0.25).

[0146] In a preferred embodiment, the organic molecules according to the invention exhibit an n value (ratio of delayed to immediate fluorescence) greater than 0.05 (n>0.05).

[0147] In the context of the present invention, the TADF material E B is the lowest excited singlet state energy level E(S1 E ) and the lowest excited triplet state energy level E(T1 E ) corresponds to the energy difference ΔE ST The TADF material E is characterized by exhibiting a value of less than 0.4 eV, preferably less than 0.3 eV, more preferably less than 0.2 eV, even more preferably less than 0.1 eV, or even less than 0.05 eV. B ΔE ST The method for determining the value is explained later in this text.

[0148] In a preferred embodiment, the organic molecule according to the present invention is a TADF material E as defined herein. B and ΔE corresponds to the energy difference between the lowest excited singlet state energy level and the lowest excited triplet state energy level. ST It exhibits a value of less than 0.4 eV, preferably less than 0.3 eV, more preferably less than 0.2 eV, even more preferably less than 0.13 eV, or even more preferably less than 0.07 eV.

[0149] In the paragraph on compositions comprising at least one organic molecule according to the invention (see below), one or more TADF substances E different from the organic molecule according to the invention may be BThe skilled artisan will recognize that any TADF material disclosed in the state of the art is a suitable TADF material in this context. B Those skilled in the art will also understand that the TADF material E B However, it is generally understood that the HOMO (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital) and LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) are designed to be largely spatially separated by the (electron) donor group and (electron) acceptor group, respectively. The groups are generally large in volume (i.e., sterically required) or are twisted by being linked via a spiro junction, reducing the spatial overlap of the HOMO and LUMO. However, minimizing the spatial overlap of the HOMO and LUMO has the disadvantage that the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the TADF material is also reduced. Therefore, in practice, ΔE ST In order to reduce the load and achieve a high PLQY, both of these effects are taken into consideration.

[0150] One common approach for TADF material design is to covalently link one or more HOMO-distributed (electron) donor moieties and one or more LUMO-distributed (electron) acceptor moieties to the same bridge, referred to herein as a linker group. B may, for example, contain two or three linker groups attached to the same acceptor moiety, with additional donor and acceptor moieties attached to each of the two or three linker groups.

[0151] Also, one or more donor moieties and one or more acceptor moieties can be directly bonded to one another (without the presence of a linker group).

[0152] Typical donor moieties are derivatives of diphenylamine, indole, carbazole, acridine, phenoxazine and related structures. In particular, aliphatic, aromatic or heteroaromatic ring systems can be condensed to the aforementioned donor precursors to reach, for example, indolocarbazoles.

[0153] Derivatives of benzene, biphenyl, and to some extent terphenyl, are common linker groups.

[0154] Nitrile groups are very common acceptor moieties in TADF materials, well-known examples of which include:

[0155] (i) Carbazolyldicyanobenzene compounds 2CzPN (4,5-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phthalonitrile), DCzIPN (4,6-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)isophthalonitrile), 4CzPN (3,4,5,6-tetra(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phthalonitrile), 4CzIPN (2,4,5,6-tetra(9H-carbazol-9-yl)isophthalonitrile), 4CzTPN (2,4,5,6-tetra(9H-carbazol-9-yl)terephthalonitrile) and their derivatives,

[0158] Nitrogen heterocycles such as triazine, pyrimidine, triazole, oxadiazole, thiadiazole, heptazine, 1,4-diazatriphenylene, benzothiazole, benzoxazole, quinoxaline, and diazafluorene derivatives are also well-known acceptor moieties used in TADF molecular constructions. For example, known examples of TADF molecules containing triazine acceptors include PIC-TRZ (7,7'-(6-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)bis(5-phenyl-5,7-dihydroindolo[2,3-b]carbazole)), mBFCzTrz (5-(3-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl))phenyl)-5H-benzofuro[3,2-c]carbazole), and DCzTrz (9,9'-(5-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-1,3-phenylene)bis(9H-carbazole)).

[0159] Another group of TADF materials includes diaryl ketones such as benzophenone or (heteroaryl)aryl ketones such as 4-benzoylpyridine, 9,10-anthraquinone, 9H-xanthen-9-one and their derivatives as acceptor moieties to which donor moieties (mainly carbazolyl substituents) are attached. Examples of such TADF molecules include BPBCz (bis(4-(9'-phenyl-9H,9'H-[3,3'-bicarbazol]-9-yl)phenyl)methanone), mDCBP ((3,5-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)(pyridin-4-yl)methanone), AQ-DTBu-Cz (2,6-bis(4-(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)anthracene-9,10-dione), and MCz-XT (3-(1,3,6,8-tetramethyl-9H-carbazol-9-yl)-9H-xanthen-9-one), respectively.

[0160] Sulfoxides, particularly diphenyl sulfoxides, are also commonly used as acceptor moieties for the construction of TADF materials; well-known examples include 4-PC-DPS (9-phenyl-3-(4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole), DitBu-DPS (9,9'-(sulfonylbis(4,1-phenylene))bis(9H-carbazole)), and TXO-PhCz (2-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)-9H-thioxanthen-9-one 10,10-dioxide).

[0161] The fluorescent emitter F may also exhibit a TADF as defined herein, and more particularly a TADF material E as defined herein. B As a result, the small FWHM emitter S as defined herein is understood to be B is the TADF material E as defined herein B It may or may not be so.

[0162] Phosphorescence, i.e., emission from an excited triplet state (typically the lowest excited triplet state T1), is a spin-forbidden process. As known to those skilled in the art, phosphorescence can be enhanced by utilizing (intramolecular) spin-orbit interactions (the so-called (internal) heavy atom effect). In the context of the present invention, the phosphorescent material P B is a phosphorescent emitter capable of emitting phosphorescence at room temperature (i.e., (about) 20° C.).

[0163] Here, the phosphorescent material P B It is preferred that the phosphor P contains at least one atom of an element having a standard atomic weight greater than that of calcium (Ca). More preferably, in the context of the present invention, the phosphor P B contains transition metal atoms, particularly transition metal atoms of elements having a standard atomic weight greater than that of zinc (Zn). B The transition metal atoms preferably present in exist in any oxidation state (and can also exist as ions of the respective elements).

For example, the following metal complexes can be used to produce phosphorescent materials P that can be used with the organic molecules according to the invention: B Is: JPEG2025506342000037.jpg95157

[0167] In the context of the present invention, a small full width at half maximum (FWHM) emitter S Bis any emitter (i.e., emitter material) having an emission spectrum exhibiting a FWHM of 0.35 eV or less (≦0.35 eV), preferably 0.30 eV or less (≦0.30 eV), in particular 0.25 eV or less (≦0.25 eV). Unless otherwise specified, this is determined with reference to the emission spectrum of each emitter at room temperature (i.e., (about) 20° C.), typically measured at 1-5 wt %, in particular 2 wt %, of the emitter in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Alternatively, a small FWHM emitter S B The emission spectra of the emitters S are typically measured at room temperature (i.e., (approximately) 20 °C) in dichloromethane or toluene at 0.001–0.2 mg / mL.

All reported FWHM values ​​generally represent the main emission peak (i.e. the peak with the highest intensity). Means of determining the FWHM (here preferably reported in electron volts, eV) are part of the common knowledge of the skilled artisan. For example, if the main emission peak of an emission spectrum is determined by dividing the two wavelengths λ 2 , λ 3 , λ 4 , λ 5 , λ 6 , λ 7 , λ 8 , λ 9 , λ 10 , λ 11 , λ 12 , λ 13 , λ 14 , λ 15 , λ 20 , λ 25 , λ 30 , λ 40 , λ 50 , λ 16 , λ 20 , λ 30 , λ 40 , λ 50 , λ 17 , λ 20 , λ 25 , λ 30 , λ 20 , λ 30 , λ 40 , λ 5 ...30 , λ 40 , λ 50 , λ 30 , λ 1 and λ 2When half the maximum emission (i.e., 50% of the maximum emission intensity) is reached at , the FWHM in electron volts (eV) is typically (and herein) determined using the following equation:

The state of the art also shows how such materials can be synthesized and how to arrive at emitters with specific emission hues.

[0178] Those skilled in the art will also recognize that the BODIPY basic structure shown below is JPEG2025506342000039.jpg3941 For example, they are well aware of the fact that intermolecular π-π interactions and the associated self-quenching make them less than ideally suited as emitters in optoelectronic devices.

[0179] Alternative optoelectronic emitter materials have bulky (i.e., sterically demanding) groups as substituents attached to the aforementioned BODIPY core structure. Such bulky groups may be, for example, aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl or alkoxy substituents (among many others) or fused polyaromatic or heteroaromatic, any of which may be optionally substituted. The selection of suitable substituents on the BODIPY core will be apparent to one skilled in the art and may be readily derived from the state of the art, as will the numerous synthetic routes that have been established for the synthesis and subsequent modification of such molecules.

[0180] In the context of the present invention, a small FWHM emitter S B Examples of suitable BODIPY emitters are shown below: JPEG2025506342000040.jpg82153 JPEG2025506342000041.jpg125153 JPEG2025506342000042.jpg99153 JPEG2025506342000043.jpg43153

[0183] In the context of the present invention, a small FWHM emitter S B Another class of molecules suitable for providing a charge-transfer (Pt) emitter are near-range-charge-transfer (NRCT) emitters.

[0184] Typical NRCT emitters have been described in the literature as exhibiting a delayed component in the time-resolved photoluminescence spectrum, indicating short-range HOMO-LUMO separation.

[0185] A typical NRCT emitter exhibits only one emission band in the emission spectrum, whereas a typical fluorescent emitter exhibits multiple unique emission bands due to vibrational progression.

B It is understood that the small FWHM emitter S B A non-limiting example is a boron-containing emitter containing exactly one direct BN bond, which comprises or consists of the following structure: JPEG2025506342000054.jpg6241

[0192] One approach to designing fluorescent emitters F relies on the use of fluorescent polycyclic aromatic or heteroaromatic core structures. The latter, in the context of the present invention, is any structure that comprises one or more aromatic or heteroaromatic rings, preferably two or more of said rings, which are more preferably fused to each other or linked via one or more direct bonds or linking atoms. That is, the fluorescent core structure comprises at least one, and preferably only one, rigidly conjugated π-system.

[0193] The skilled person knows how to select a fluorescent core structure for a fluorescent emitter F. Non-limiting examples of common fluorescent core structures for fluorescent emitters F are as follows: JPEG2025506342000056.jpg61161 JPEG2025506342000057.jpg51161 JPEG2025506342000058.jpg55161 JPEG2025506342000059.jpg65161 JPEG2025506342000060.jpg59161 JPEG2025506342000061.jpg37161 JPEG2025506342000062.jpg57157 JPEG2025506342000063.jpg66161 JPEG2025506342000064.jpg89161

[0194] In the present context, the term "fluorescent core structure" indicates that any molecule comprising said core can potentially be used as a fluorescent emitter F. The skilled person knows that the core structure of such a fluorescent emitter F may be optionally substituted and what substituents are suitable in connection therewith.

B However, the p-host H P , n-host H showing high electron mobility N or a bipolar host material H that exhibits both high hole and high electron mobility BP I know for a fact that it is.

[0201] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that any materials contained in the same layer, particularly the same EML, as well as materials in adjacent layers that are in close proximity at the interface between those adjacent layers, can form exciplexes together. P and n-host H N The present invention relates to a method for selecting a pair of materials, and selection criteria for the two components of the material pair, including HOMO and / or LUMO energy requirements. That is, when exciplex formation is required, one component, e.g., the p-host material H P The HOMO of the n-host material H N The HOMO of the host material H is at least 0.20 eV higher in energy than the HOMO of the host material H. P The LUMO of the n-host material H N The exciplex has an energy at least 0.20 eV higher than the LUMO of the exciplex. It is common knowledge for those skilled in the art that if an exciplex is present in the EML of an optoelectronic device, particularly an OLED, the exciplex has the function of an emitter material and can emit light when a voltage and current are applied to the device. As is known from the state of the art and is generally known, an exciplex may be non-emissive and, for example, when it is included in the EML of an optoelectronic device, it can transfer excitation energy to an emitter material.

[0203] Hereinafter, when describing the above compositions, the content of a specific substance in each composition may be referred to in the form of a percentage. It should be noted that unless otherwise specified in a specific embodiment, all percentages refer to weight percentages, which have the same meaning as weight percentages or weight % ((weight / weight), (w / w), wt%). For example, when the content of one or more organic molecules according to the present invention in a specific composition is illustratively referred to as 30%, this is understood to mean that the total weight of one or more organic molecules according to the present invention (i.e., all of those molecules combined) is 30% by weight, i.e., 30% of the total weight of the respective composition. By providing the preferred content of a component in weight%, it is understood that each time a composition is specified, the total content of all components adds up to 100% by weight (i.e., the total weight of the composition).

The different layers are deposited individually and successively on a suitable substrate by subsequent deposition steps. The individual layers can be deposited using the same or different deposition methods.

[0255] The vapor deposition processes include thermal (co)evaporation, chemical vapor deposition, and physical vapor deposition. For active matrix OLED displays, an AMOLED backplane is used as the substrate. The individual layers are also processed from solutions or dispersions using appropriate solvents. For example, solution deposition processes include spin coating, dip coating, and jet printing. Solution processing is optionally performed in an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen atmosphere), and the solvent is optionally completely or partially removed by means known in the art.

[0256] Preferably, the optoelectronic device comprising the organic molecules according to the invention has one or more layers in which the material is 10 -5 They are characterized by the OVPD (Organic Vapor Phase Deposition) process applied at pressures between mbar and 1 bar or by coating with the aid of carrier gas sublimation.

[0262] The core element of an organic electroluminescent device that generates light is at least one light-emitting layer (EML), which is typically located between a positive electrode and a negative electrode. When a voltage (and current) is applied to the positive and negative electrodes of the organic electroluminescent device, holes and electrons are injected from the positive and negative electrodes, respectively. A hole-transporting layer (HTL) is typically located between the light-emitting layer (EML) and the positive electrode, and an electron-transporting layer (ETL) is typically located between the light-emitting layer (EML) and the negative electrode. The different layers are arranged in sequence. Recombination of holes and electrons in the EML then generates high-energy excitons. Decay of such excited states (e.g., singlet states such as S1 and / or triplet states such as T1) to the bottom state S0 preferably causes light emission.

[0291] optical physical measurements Sample preparation: spin coating Unless otherwise stated, the photophysical measurements of the components were performed on the respective components in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (e.g., organic molecules according to the present invention, the general TADF material E B , a common host material H B , common phosphorescent material P B , and common fluorescent emitters F) from spin-coated films. Unless otherwise stated, the component concentrations of such spin-coated PMMA films are as follows: All organic molecules according to the invention: 10% by weight in PMMA A TADF material E as defined herein B : 10% by weight in PMMA A phosphorescent material P as defined herein B : 10% by weight in PMMA Fluorescence emitters F as defined herein, which do not form part of the organic molecules according to the invention, in particular they are small FWHM emitters S in the context of the present invention B In this case: 1 to 5% by weight in PMMA, preferably 2% by weight.

[0292] However, the TADF material E as defined herein is not an organic molecule according to the present invention. B or phosphorescent material P B or a host material H that is not a fluorescent emitter F B In the case of H BA spin-coated knit film of is used in place of the PMMA film.

[0293] Equipment: Spin150, SPS euro Sample concentrations are 1.0 mg / ml and are typically dissolved in a suitable solvent: toluene / DCM.

[0294] Program: 2000 U / min for 7-30 s. After coating, the film was dried at 70°C for 1 min.

[0295] Absorption measurements A Thermo Scientific Evolution 201 UV-Visible spectrophotometer is used to determine the maximum absorption wavelength of the sample in the wavelength range above 270 nm, which is used as the excitation wavelength for the measurement of the photoluminescence spectrum and quantum yield.

[0296] Photoluminescence spectroscopy For the photoluminescence spectroscopy measurements a Horiba fluorescence spectrometer "Fluoromax 4P" is used.

[0297] Normal-state fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra from phosphorescent emitters are recorded at room temperature. The basic mode of operation is as follows: a continuous light source (a xenon arc lamp) is shone onto an excitation monochromator which selects the appropriate wavelength band. This monochromatic excitation light is directed onto the sample which emits luminescence. If the sample is a spin-coated or evaporated film, it is placed in a cuvette and a nitrogen atmosphere is maintained during the measurement. The emitted light is directed to a second emission monochromator which selects a wavelength band that is changed during the measurement and shines onto a photon-counting detector (R928P photomultiplier tube). The signal from the detector is reported to a system controller and host computer which can process and display the data.

[0298] Phosphorescence spectra from the TADF emitter are recorded at 77 K. The basic operating scheme is as follows: For excitation, a pulsed light source (pulsed xenon lamp) is used, operating at 25 Hz. A control module containing a gate and delay generator is used to control the timing between excitation and sensing. A typical data collection sequence starts with a flash of the pulsed lamp, which is sensed by the control module. Light enters and is dispersed into the excitation monochromator. Monochromatic light from the monochromator excites the sample. The sample is placed in a glass Dewar vessel filled with liquid nitrogen during the measurement. Light emission from the sample is transmitted through the emission monochromator to a photon-counting photomultiplier-tube detector. The control module intercepts the signal from the detector and collects only the gated portion of the signal after the flash (initial delay) for the length of a predefined sampling time (sample window). All signals arriving before and after the gating are ignored. The initial delay can be varied from 0 to 10000 ms and is set to eliminate the effects of initial fluorescent emission and lamp decay, and is preferably 50 ms. The sample window can be varied from 0.01 to 10000 ms and is set to collect phosphorescent emission, and is preferably 40 ms.

[0299] Time-resolved (transient) photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy in the μs and ns range (FS5) Time-resolved PL measurements are performed on an Edinburgh Instruments FS5 fluorescence spectrometer. Better light collection compared to measurements on the HORIBA setup allows an optimized signal-to-noise ratio, which makes the FS5 system especially advantageous for transient PL measurements of delayed fluorescence properties. As a continuous light source the spectrometer contains a 150W xenon arc lamp, the specific wavelength being selected by a Czerny-Turner monochromator. However, standard measurements are instead performed using an external VPLED tunable pulsed LED with an emission wavelength of 310 nm. The sample emission is directed to a sensitive R928P photomultiplier tube (PMT) that can detect single photons with a peak quantum efficiency of up to 25% in the spectral range from 200 nm to 870 nm. The detector is a temperature-stabilized PMT that provides dark counts below 300 cps (counts per second).

[0300] Data collection is performed using the well-established Time Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) technique. The FS5 is equipped with an emission monochromator, a temperature stabilized photomultiplier tube as the detector unit, and a pulsed LED (310 nm central wavelength, 910 ps pulse width) as the excitation source. If the sample is a spin-coated or evaporated film, it is placed in a cuvette and a nitrogen atmosphere is maintained during the measurement.

[0301] To determine the mean decay lifetime τ of the measured transient photoluminescence signal, the data are fit to the following sum of exponential functions of n:

[0302]

number

[0303] Here, n is 1 to 3. Specific lifetime τ i and the corresponding amplitude A i The delayed fluorescence lifetime τ is calculated by weighting DF is determined as follows:

[0304]

number

[0305] Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) The excited state population dynamics are determined using an Edinburgh Instruments FS5 spectrofluorometer equipped with an emission monochromator, a temperature stabilized photomultiplier tube as the detector unit, and a pulsed LED (310 nm central wavelength, 910 ps pulse width) as the excitation source. Samples are placed in cuvettes and flushed with nitrogen during the measurements.

[0306] Overall damping dynamics The entire excited state population decay dynamics over multiple orders of magnitude in time and signal intensity is achieved by performing TCSPC measurements in four time domains (200 ns, 1 μs, 20 μs and longer measurement periods of >80 μs). The measured time curves are then processed in the following manner: The average signal level before excitation and subtraction is determined and a background correction is applied.

[0307] The initial rise of the main signal is taken as the reference and the time axis is aligned.

[0308] Using the superimposed measured time domains, the curves are scaled relative to each other.

[0309] The processed curves are merged into one curve.

[0310] Data analysis Data analysis is performed using mono- and bi-exponential fitting of the immediate fluorescence (PF) (typically on the order of nanoseconds) and delayed fluorescence (DF) (typically on the order of microseconds) decays. The ratio of delayed to immediate fluorescence (n value) is calculated by integrating the respective photoluminescence decays over time:

[0311]

number

[0312] The mean excited state lifetime is calculated by taking the average of the decay times of the prompt and delayed fluorescence weighted by the respective contributions of PF and DF.

[0313] Photoluminescence quantum yield measurement For photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) measurements, an Absolute PL quantum yield measurement C9920-03G system (Hamamatsu Photonics) was used. Quantum yields and CIE coordinates were determined using the software U6039-05 version 3.6.0.

[0314] Emission maxima are given in nm, quantum yields Φ are given in %, and CIE coordinates are given as x,y values.

[0315] The PLQY is determined using the following protocol: Quality assurance: Anthracene in ethanol (known concentration) is used as a standard.

[0316] Excitation wavelength: The absorption maximum of the organic molecule is determined and that wavelength is used to excite the molecule.

[0317] measurement The quantum yield is measured at room temperature (i.e., about 20° C.) from the spin-coated films as described above in a nitrogen atmosphere. The PLQY is calculated using the following equation:

[0318]

number

[0319] where n 光子 denotes the number of photons, and I denotes the intensity. The designation "reference" denotes a reference measurement without a luminescent sample, and the designation "sample" denotes a measurement with a luminescent sample. The wavelength λ 1 and λ 2denotes the excitation light region, and the wavelength λ 3 and λ 4 displays the sample emission area.

[0320] Fabrication and characterization of optoelectronic devices Optoelectronic devices, particularly OLED devices, comprising the organic molecules according to the present invention can also be manufactured by vacuum deposition methods. When a layer comprises one or more compounds, the weight percentage of one or more compounds is indicated in %. The total weight percentage value is 100%, so that when no value is specified, the fraction of the compound is the same as the difference between the specified value and 100%.

[0321] Non-fully optimized OLEDs are characterized by measuring the electroluminescence spectrum using standard methods and the intensity- and current-dependent external quantum efficiency (%) calculated using the light and current detected by a photodiode. The lifetime of the OLED device is extracted from the change in luminance while operating at a constant current density. The LT50 value corresponds to the time when the measured luminance has decreased to 50% of the initial luminance, similarly LT80 corresponds to the point when the measured luminance has decreased to 80% of the initial luminance, and LT97 corresponds to the point when the measured luminance has decreased to 97% of the initial luminance.

[0322] Accelerated lifetime measurements are performed (e.g. by applying increased current densities), e.g. 500cd / m 2 In the present invention, the LT80 value is determined using the following formula:

[0323]

number

[0324] Here, L 0 denotes the initial luminance at an applied current density.

[0325] Values ​​refer to the average of multiple pixels (typically 2-8) and the standard deviation across the pixels is provided. The figures show the data series for one OLED pixel.

[0326] HPLC-MS The purity of organic compounds may be assessed using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). Such HPLC-MS analysis is performed using an Agilent HPLC1260 infinity HPLC-MS system equipped with a single quadrupole MS detector. For example, a typical HPLC method is as follows: a reversed phase column 3.0 mm×100 mm, particle size 2.7 μm Agilent (Poroshell 120EC-C18, 3.0×100 mm, 2.7 μm HPLC column) is used for the HPLC. The HPLC-MS measurements are performed at 45° C. with a typical gradient as follows:

[0330] From an analyte solution of 0.5 mg / mL concentration, an injection volume of 2 μL is used for the measurement.

[0331] Ionization of the probe is performed in an APCI (atmospheric pressure chemical ionization) source using positive (APCI+) or negative (APCI-) ionization mode, or using an APPI (atmospheric pressure photoionization) source.
