[0002] The problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide molecules that are suitable for use in optoelectronic devices. [Means for solving the problem]
[0003] Such objectives are achieved by the present invention, which provides novel organic molecules.
[0004] The organic molecules of the present invention are purely organic molecules, ie they do not contain any metal ions, in contrast to the metal complexes known to be used in optoelectronic devices. [Effects of the Invention]
[0005] The organic molecules exhibit emission maxima in the sky blue, green, or yellow spectral range. The organic molecules exhibit emission maxima, particularly in the range of 490-600 nm, preferably 510-560 nm, and more preferably 520-540 nm. The photoluminescence quantum yield of the organic molecules according to the present invention is, in particular, 10% or more. The molecules according to the present invention in particular exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The use of the molecules according to the present invention in optoelectronic devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), leads to higher device efficiencies. The corresponding OLEDs have higher stability than known emitter materials and OLEDs with similar hues, and / or, when the molecules according to the present invention are used in OLED displays, a more accurate reproduction of natural-looking hues, i.e., a higher resolution of the displayed image, is achieved. In particular, the molecules can be used in combination with fluorescent emitters to enable so-called hyperfluorescence. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0183] In one embodiment, in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film containing 10 wt. % organic molecules at room temperature, the organic molecules according to the present invention have an excited state lifetime of 25 μs or less, 15 μs or less, particularly 10 μs or less, more preferably 8 μs or less, or 6 μs or less, and even more preferably 4 μs or less.
[0184] In one embodiment of the present invention, the organic molecule according to the present invention exhibits a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter, which corresponds to the energy difference between the first excited singlet state (S1) and the first excited triplet state (T1), ΔE ST value, which is 5000 cm -1 less than, preferably, 3000 cm -1 less than, more preferably, 1500 cm -1 less than, even more preferably, 1000 cm -1 Less than, or preferably, 500 cm -1 has a value less than
[0185] In a further embodiment of the present invention, in a PMMA film containing 10 wt. % of organic molecules at room temperature, the organic molecules according to the present invention have an emission peak in the visible or near-ultraviolet range, i.e., in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 800 nm, with a full width at half maximum value of less than 0.50 eV, preferably less than 0.48 eV, more preferably less than 0.45 eV, even more preferably less than 0.43 eV or less than 0.40 eV.
[0186] Orbital energies and excited state energies can be determined through experimental methods and computational methods using quantum chemical methods, particularly density functional theory calculations. The highest occupied molecular orbital energy, E HOMO is determined to an accuracy of 0.1 eV from cyclic voltammetry measurements by methods known to those skilled in the art. LUMO is E HOMO +E gap where E gapis determined as follows: for host compounds, unless otherwise specified, the onset of the emission spectrum of a PMMA film containing 10 wt % of the host is E gap For the emitter molecule, E gap is determined as the energy at which the excitation and emission spectra of a PMMA film containing 10% by weight of the emitter intersect. For the organic molecules according to the invention, E gap is determined as the energy at which the excitation and emission spectra of a PMMA film containing 10 wt % of the emitter intersect.
[0187] The energy of the first excited triplet state T1 is determined from the onset of the emission spectrum at low temperatures, typically 77 K. For host compounds where the first excited singlet state and the lowest triplet state are energetically separated by 0.4 eV or more, phosphorescence is typically visible in the steady-state spectrum in 2-Me-THF. Therefore, the triplet energy is also determined as the onset of the phosphorescence spectrum. For TADF emitter molecules, the energy of the first excited triplet state T1 is determined from the onset of the delayed emission spectrum at 77 K, measured in a PMMA film containing 10 wt. % of the emitter, unless otherwise specified. For both the host and emitter compounds, the energy of the first excited singlet state S1 is determined from the onset of the emission spectrum (measured as follows: TADF emitter: 10 wt. % concentration in PMMA film; host: pure film).
[0188] The onset of the emission spectrum is determined by calculating the intersection of a tangent to the emission spectrum with the x-axis, which is set at the high energy side of the emission band and at half maximum of the maximum intensity of the emission spectrum. A further aspect of the present invention relates to a method for preparing an organic molecule according to the present invention (including selective subsequent reactions), wherein reactants selected from the group consisting of 2-bromo-6-fluorobenzonitrile, 3-bromo-2-fluorobenzonitrile, 1-bromo-3-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene and 1-bromo-2-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzene are used, wherein each of the reactants contains exactly three substituents R I is selectively substituted with

[0192] In the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of nitrogen heterocycles with aryl halides, preferably aryl fluorides, typical conditions involve the use of a base such as potassium phosphate or sodium hydride in an aprotic polar solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).
[0193] An alternative synthetic route involves the introduction of the nitrogen heterocycle to an aryl halide or aryl pseudohalide, preferably an aryl bromide, aryl iodide, aryl triflate or aryl tosylate, via copper or palladium catalyzed coupling.
[0194] A further aspect of the present invention relates to the use of organic molecules according to the invention as light emitters or absorbers and / or host materials and / or electron transport materials and / or hole injection materials and / or hole blocking materials in optoelectronic devices.
[0195] An optoelectronic device, also called organic optoelectronic device, is understood in the broadest sense as any device based on organic materials that is suitable for emitting light in the visible or near ultraviolet (UV) range, i.e., in the wavelength range from 380 to 800 nm. More preferably, the optoelectronic device is capable of emitting light in the visible range, i.e., from 400 nm to 800 nm.

[0207] (i) 1 to 50% by weight, preferably 5 to 40% by weight, in particular 10 to 30% by weight, of one organic molecule E according to the invention (ii) 5 to 99% by weight, preferably 30 to 94.9% by weight, in particular 40 to 89% by weight, of one host compound H (iii) optionally 0 to 94% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 65% by weight, in particular 1 to 50% by weight, of one or more additional host compounds D having a structure different from that of the molecules according to the invention; (iv) optionally 0 to 94% by weight, preferably 0 to 65% by weight, in particular 0 to 50% by weight, of a solvent; (v) optionally 0 to 30% by weight, in particular 0 to 20% by weight, preferably 0 to 5% by weight, of one or more additional emitter molecules F having a structure different from that of the molecules according to the invention; In one embodiment, the host compound H has an energy E in the range of −5 to 6.5 eV.

[0210] In a further aspect, the present invention relates to an optoelectronic device comprising an organic molecule or composition of the type described herein, more particularly a device selected from the group consisting of an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a light emitting electrochemical cell, an OLED sensor, in particular a gas sensor and a vapor sensor that are not completely sealed off from the outside, an organic diode, an organic solar cell, an organic transistor, an organic field effect transistor, an organic laser, and a downward conversion device.
[0211] In a preferred embodiment, the optoelectronic device is a device selected from the group consisting of an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a light emitting electrochemical cell (LEC), and a light emitting transistor.
[0212] In one embodiment of the inventive optoelectronic device, the inventive organic molecule E is used as emissive material in the emissive layer EML.
[0213] In one embodiment of the optoelectronic device of the present invention, the light-emitting layer EML consists of the composition according to the present invention as described herein.
[0214] When the optoelectronic device is an OLED, it can have, for example, the following layer structure:
[0215] 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 Here, the OLED may optionally include each layer, different layers may be combined, and the OLED may include one or more layers of each layer type defined above.
[0216] The optoelectronic device, in one embodiment, also includes at least one protective layer that protects the device from damaging exposure to harmful substances in the environment, including, for example, moisture, vapors and / or gases.
[0217] In one embodiment of the present invention, the optoelectronic device is an OLED having the following inverted layer structure:
[0218] 1. Substrate 2. Cathode layer 3.Electron injection layer (EIL) 4.Electron transport layer (ETL) 5. Hole Blocking Layer (HBL) 6. Emitting layer B 7.Electron blocking layer (EBL) 8. Hole transport layer (HTL) 9. Hole injection layer (HIL) 10. Anode layer A Here, an OLED having an inverted layer structure may optionally include each layer, and different layers may be combined, and the OLED may also include one or more layers of each layer type defined above.
[0219] In one embodiment of the present invention, the optoelectronic device is an OLED that can have a stacked structure. In this structure, individual units are stacked on top of each other, unlike the typical side-by-side arrangement of OLEDs. 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 include a charge generation layer (CGL), which is typically located between two OLED subunits and typically configured as an n-doped layer and a p-doped layer. Typically, the n-doped layer of one CGL is located closer to the anode layer.
[0220] In one embodiment of the present invention, the optoelectronic device is an OLED comprising two or more light-emitting layers between an anode and a cathode. In particular, a 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. Optionally, additional layers such as charge generation layers, charge blocking layers, or charge transport layers may be included between the individual light-emitting layers. In a further embodiment, the light-emitting layers are stacked adjacently. In a further embodiment, the tandem OLED comprises a charge generation layer between each two light-emitting layers. Adjacent light-emitting layers or light-emitting layers separated by a charge generation layer may also be merged.
[0221] The substrate can be made of any material or composition of materials. Most often, 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 slide can be used, which allows for a higher level of flexibility. The anode layer A is made of a material that allows for a nearly (essentially) transparent film. To allow light emission from the OLED, at least one of the two electrodes must be (essentially) transparent, so either 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 anode layers A may, for example, comprise 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.
[0222] The anode layer A is (essentially) indium tin oxide (ITO) (e.g., (InO3) 0.9 (SnO2) 0.1). The roughness of the anode layer A due to the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) can also be reduced 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) can also include poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT), polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), MoO2, VO5, CuPC, or CuI, particularly a mixture of PEDOT and PSS. The hole injection layer (HIL) can also prevent metal diffusion from the anode layer A to the hole transport layer (HTL).

[0223] The hole transport layer (HTL) is generally located adjacent to the anode layer A or the hole injection layer (HIL). Any hole transport compound can be used here. For example, electron-rich heteroaromatic compounds such as triarylamines and / or carbazoles can also be 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 function as an electron blocking layer (EBL). Preferably, the hole transport compound has a triplet state T1 with a relatively high energy level. For example, the hole transport layer (HTL) may be formed 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)benzenamine] (TAPC), 4,4′,4″-tris[2-naphthyl(phenyl)-amino]triphenylamine (2-TNATA), Spiro-TAD, DNTPD, NPB, NPNPB, MeO-TPD, HAT-CN, and / or 9,9′-diphenyl-6-(9-phenyl-9H- The HTL may also include a star-shaped heterocycle such as (carbazol-3-yl)-9H,9'H-3,3'-bicarbazole (TrisPcz). The HTL may also include 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 (F4-TCNQ), copper-pentafluorobenzoate (Cu(I)pFBz), or a transition metal complex.

In particular, the EML comprises one or more light-emitting molecules E according to the present invention. In one embodiment, the light-emitting layer comprises only organic molecules according to the present invention. Typically, the EML further comprises one or more host materials H.

[0227] An electron transport layer (ETL) may be located adjacent to the light-emitting layer (EML). Any electron transporter may be used here. For example, electron-deficient compounds such as benzimidazole, pyridine, triazole, oxadiazole (e.g., 1,3,4-oxadiazole), phosphine oxide, and sulfone may be used. The electron transporter may also be a star-shaped heterocycle such as 1,3,5-tri(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenyl (TPBi). The ETL may also include 2,9-bis(naphthalen-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (NBphen), aluminum tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) (Alq), diphenyl-4-triphenylsilylphenyl-phosphine oxide (TSPO), 2,7-di(2,2′-bipyridin-5-yl)triphenyl (BPyTP), 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 can also be doped with a material such as Liq. The electron transport layer (ETL) can also block holes, or a hole blocking layer (HBL) can be introduced.
[0228] Examples of HBL include 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline = bathocuproine (BCP), bis(8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline)-(4-phenylphenoxy)aluminum (BAlq), 2,9-bis(naphthalen-2-yl)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (NBphen), aluminum-tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) (Alq), diphenyl-4-triphenylsilylphenyl-phosphine oxide, and the like. These include 2,4,6-tris(biphenyl-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (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).
[0229] 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 in addition, the cathode layer C may also comprise graphite and / or carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Alternatively, the cathode layer C may also consist of nanoscale silver wires.
[0230] The OLED optionally further includes a protective layer (also referred to as an electron injection layer (EIL)) between the electron transport layer (ETL) and the cathode layer C. The layer may include lithium fluoride, cesium fluoride, silver, 8-hydroxyquinolinolatolithium (Liq), Li2O, BaF2, MgO, and / or NaF.
[0231] Optionally, the electron transporting layer (ETL) and / or the hole blocking layer (HBL) also comprise one or more host compounds H.
[0232] The emitting layer EML may further include one or more additional emitter molecules F to further modify the emission and / or absorption spectrum of the emitting layer EML. Such emitter molecules F may be any emitter molecule known in the art. Preferably, such emitter molecules F are molecules having a structure different from that of molecules E according to the present invention. The emitter molecules F may optionally also be TADF emitters. Alternatively, the emitter molecules F may optionally be fluorescent and / or phosphorescent emitter molecules capable of shifting the emission and / or absorption spectrum of the emitting layer EML. For example, triplet and / or singlet excitons may be transferred from the emitter molecules according to the present invention to the emitter molecules F before relaxing to the ground state S, typically emitting light that is red-shifted compared to the light emitted by the organic molecules. Optionally, the emitter molecules F may also induce a two-photon effect (i.e., absorption of two photons at half the maximum absorption energy).
[0233] Optionally, the optoelectronic device (e.g., OLED) may also be, for example, essentially a white optoelectronic device. For example, such a white optoelectronic device may comprise at least one (deep) blue emitter molecule and one or more emitter molecules that emit green and / or red light. Optionally, there may then be energy transfer between the two or more molecules, as described above.
[0234] As used herein, unless more specifically defined in a particular context, the hue designations of emitted and / or absorbed light are as follows: Purple: wavelength range of >380~420nm Deep blue: wavelength range of >420~480nm Sky blue: wavelength range of >480~500nm Green: wavelength range of >500~560nm Yellow: wavelength range of >560-580nm Orange: wavelength range of >580~620nm Red: wavelength range of >620~800nm Associated with the emitter molecule, such hues exhibit emission maxima. Thus, for example, a deep blue emitter has an emission maximum in the >420-480 nm range, a sky blue emitter has an emission maximum in the >480-500 nm range, a green emitter has an emission maximum in the >500-560 nm range, and a red emitter has an emission maximum in the >620-800 nm range.
[0235] The green emitter may preferably have an emission maximum of 500 to 560 nm, more preferably 510 to 550 nm, and even more preferably 520 to 540 nm.
[0236] A further embodiment of the present invention 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 (Ultra High Definition) displays, such as UHD-TVs. In this context, the term "close" refers to the range of CIEx and CIEy coordinates provided at the end of the paragraph. While commercial applications typically use top-emitting (top electrode transparent) devices, the test device used throughout this invention refers to a bottom-emitting device (bottom electrode and substrate transparent). Thus, a further aspect of the present invention relates to an OLED whose emission exhibits CIEx color coordinates of 0.06 to 0.34, preferably 0.07 to 0.29, more preferably 0.09 to 0.24, even more preferably 0.12 to 0.22, or even more preferably 0.12 to 0.22, and / or CIEy color coordinates of 0.14 to 0.19, and / or 0.44 to 0.84, preferably 0.55 to 0.83, more preferably 0.65 to 0.82, even more preferably 0.70 to 0.81, or even more preferably 0.75 to 0.8.
[0237] Therefore, a further aspect of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a 14500 cd / m 2 an OLED that exhibits an external quantum efficiency of greater than 10%, more preferably greater than 13%, more preferably greater than 15%, even more preferably greater than 17%, or even more preferably greater than 20% at 495 nm to 580 nm, preferably 500 nm to 560 nm, more preferably 510 nm to 550 nm, and even more preferably 515 nm to 540 nm; and / or an OLED that exhibits an external quantum efficiency of greater than 14500 cd / m 2The present invention relates to OLEDs that exhibit LT97 values of greater than 100 h, preferably greater than 200 h, more preferably greater than 400 h, even more preferably greater than 750 h, or even greater than 1000 h.
[0238] Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to OLEDs that emit light at well-defined color points. According to the present invention, the OLEDs emit light having a narrow emission bandwidth (small full width at half maximum (FWHM)). In one aspect, the OLEDs according to the present invention emit 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, even more preferably less than 0.43 eV, or even more preferably less than 0.40 eV.
[0239] In a further aspect, the present invention relates to a method for producing an optoelectronic component, in which the organic molecule of the present invention is used.
[0240] The optoelectronic device, in particular the OLED according to the present invention, may be produced by any means of vapor deposition and / or liquid processes. Thus, at least one layer may be - Produced by the sublimation process; - Manufactured by organic vapor phase deposition process, - Produced by a carrier gas sublimation process, - Solution processed or printed.
[0241] The methods used to manufacture optoelectronic devices, and in particular OLEDs according to the present invention, are known in the art. 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.
[0242] For example, vapor deposition processes include thermal (co)evaporation, chemical vapor deposition, and physical vapor deposition. In the case of active matrix OLED displays, an AMOLED backplane is used as the substrate. Individual layers can also be 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 completely or partially removed by means known in the art.

[0252] Illustratively, halogen-substituted carbazoles, particularly 3-bromocarbazole, can be used as DH.
[0253] In a subsequent reaction, a boronic ester or boronic acid functional group can be introduced, for example, at the position of one or more halogen substituents introduced via DH, to generate the corresponding carbazol-3-ylboronic ester or carbazol-3-ylboronic acid, for example, via reaction with bis(pinacolato)diboron (CAS No. 73183-34-3).

When a layer contains one or more compounds, the weight percentage of one or more compounds is indicated in %. The total weight percentage value is 100%, so if no value is specified, the fraction of the compound is the difference between the specified value and 100%.
[0267] 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.
