Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application relates to amine compounds suitable for use in electronic devices, particularly organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs).

[0002] In the context of this application, the term "electronic device" is understood to mean a so-called organic electronic device that contains an organic semiconductor material as a functional material. More specifically, the term "electronic device" is understood to mean an OLED.

[0003] The use of organic compounds as functional materials in OLEDs is common knowledge in the prior art. Generally, the term OLED is understood to mean an electronic device having one or more layers containing organic compounds that emits light when a voltage is applied.

[0004] In electronic devices, particularly OLEDs, there is strong interest in improving performance data, especially lifespan, efficiency, and operating voltage. However, no completely satisfactory solution has yet been found in these areas.

[0005] Layers with hole transport properties, such as hole injection layers, hole transport layers, electron blocking layers, and light-emitting layers, significantly impact the performance data of electronic devices. New materials with hole transport properties are continuously being sought for use in these layers.

[0006] In the course of the present invention, it has been discovered that amine compounds having a spirobifluorene group, a group derived from spirobifluorene, or a fluorene group, and being completely or partially deuterated in the manner described in detail below, are very well suited for use as materials having hole transport properties, particularly as materials for hole transport layers, electron blocking layers and / or light-emitting layers, and more specifically for use in hole transport layers and / or electron blocking layers. In this context, the electron blocking layer is understood to be a layer that is directly adjacent to the light-emitting layer on the anode side and functions to prevent electrons present in the light-emitting layer from entering the hole transport layer of the OLED.

[0007] When used in electronic devices, particularly OLEDs, they yield excellent results in terms of device lifespan, operating voltage, and quantum efficiency. The compounds also feature very good hole conduction properties, very good electron blocking properties, a high glass transition temperature, high oxidation stability, good solubility, high thermal stability, and a low sublimation temperature.

Regarding the compounds.

[0015] In this application, "D atom" or "D" means a deuterium atom.

[0016] The definitions below apply as general definitions to the chemical groups used. They apply unless more specific definitions are provided.

[0017] Here, the aryl group is interpreted as meaning any single aromatic ring, such as benzene, or a fused aromatic polycyclic ring, such as naphthalene, phenanthrene, or anthracene. A fused aromatic polycyclic ring in the sense of this application consists of two or more single aromatic rings that are fused to each other. An aryl group in the sense of this invention contains 6 to 40 aromatic ring atoms. An aryl group contains only carbon atoms and no heteroatoms as aromatic ring atoms.

[0018] Here, the heteroaryl group is interpreted to mean any single heteroaromatic ring, such as pyridine, pyrimidine, or thiophene, or a fused heteroaromatic polycyclic ring, such as quinoline or carbazole. A fused heteroaromatic polycyclic ring in the sense of this application consists of two or more single aromatic or heteroaromatic rings that are fused to each other, where at least one of the two or more single aromatic or heteroaromatic rings is a heteroaromatic ring. A heteroaryl group in the sense of this invention contains 5 to 40 aromatic ring atoms, of which at least one is a heteroatom. The heteroatom is preferably selected from N, O, and S.

[0019] The aryl or heteroaryl group may be substituted with the radicals mentioned above in each case, particularly benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, dihydropyrene, chrysene, perylene, fluorantene, benzoanthracene, benzophenanthrene, tetracene, pentacene, benzopyrene, furan, benzofuran, isobenzofuran, dibenzofuran, thiophene, benzothiophene, isobenzothiophene, dibenzothiophene, pyrrole, indole, isoin Dol, carbazole, pyridine, quinoline, isoquinoline, acridine, phenanthidine, benzo-5,6-quinoline, benzo-6,7-quinoline, benzo-7,8-quinoline, phenothiazine, phenoxazine, pyrazole, indazole, imidazole, benzimidazole, benzimidazolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole, naphthoimidazole, phenanthroimidazole, pyridoimidazole, pyrazineimidazole, quinoxalineimidazole, oxazole, benzooxa Zole, naphthoxazole, anthroxazole, phenanthroxazole, isoxazole, 1,2-thiazole, 1,3-thiazole, benzothiazole, pyridazine, benzopyridazine, pyrimidine, benzopyrimidine, quinoxaline, pyrazine, phenazine, naphthyrizine, azacarbazole, benzocarbolin, phenanthroline, 1,2,3-triazole, 1,2,4-triazole, benzotriazole, 1,2,3-oxadiazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole This is interpreted to mean groups derived from 1,2,5-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,2,3-thiadiazole, 1,2,4-thiadiazole, 1,2,5-thiadiazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, 1,3,5-triazine, 1,2,4-triazine, 1,2,3-triazine, tetrazole, 1,2,4,5-tetrazine, 1,2,3,4-tetrazine, 1,2,3,5-tetrazine, purines, pteridines, indidines, and benzothiadiazoles.

[0020] In the sense of the present invention, an aromatic ring system does not necessarily contain only aryl groups, but may additionally contain one or more non-aromatic rings fused with at least one aryl group. Such non-aromatic rings contain only carbon atoms as ring atoms. Examples of groups encompassed in this definition are tetrahydronaphthalene, fluorene, and spirobifluorene. Furthermore, the term aromatic ring system is understood to include systems consisting of two or more aromatic ring systems linked to each other via single bonds, such as biphenyl, terphenyl, 7-phenyl-2-fluorenyl, and quaterphenyl. In the sense of the present invention, an aromatic ring system contains 6 to 40 carbon atoms as ring atoms of the ring system and does not contain heteroatoms. An aromatic ring system in the sense of the present application does not include any heteroaryl groups as defined above.

[0021] A heteroaromatic ring system is defined similarly to an aromatic ring system, but differs in that it must contain at least one heteroatom as one of the ring atoms. Similar to aromatic ring systems, it does not necessarily contain only aryl and heteroaryl groups, but may also contain one or more nonaromatic rings fused with at least one aryl or heteroaryl group. The nonaromatic ring may contain only carbon atoms as ring atoms, or may contain one or more additional heteroatoms, where the heteroatoms are preferably selected from N, O, and S. An example of such a heteroaromatic ring system is benzopyranyl. Furthermore, the term heteroaromatic ring system is understood to include systems consisting of two or more aromatic or heteroaromatic ring systems linked to each other via single bonds, such as 4,6-diphenyl-2-triazinyl. A heteroaromatic ring system in the sense of the present invention contains 5 to 40 ring atoms selected from carbon and heteroatoms, where at least one of the ring atoms is a heteroatom. The heteroatoms are preferably selected from N, O, or S.

[0022] The terms “heteroaromatic ring system” and “aromatic ring system” as defined in this application differ from each other in that an aromatic ring system cannot contain any heteroatoms as ring atoms, while a heteroaromatic ring system must contain at least one heteroatom as a ring atom. Such a heteroatom may exist as a ring atom of a nonaromatic heterocyclic ring in the system, or as a ring atom of an aromatic heterocyclic ring in the system.

[0023] According to the above, all aryl groups as defined above are included in the term "aromatic ring system" as defined above, and all heteroaryl groups as defined above are included in the term "heteroaromatic ring system" as defined above.

[0024] Aromatic ring systems having 6 to 40 aromatic ring atoms, or heteroaromatic ring systems having 5 to 40 aromatic ring atoms, are in particular groups derived from the aforementioned aryl or heteroaryl groups, or from biphenyl, terphenyl, quaterphenyl, fluorene, spirobifluorene, dihydrophenanthrene, dihydropyrene, tetrahydropyrene, indenofluorene, torxene, isotorxene, spirotorxene, spiroisotorxene, and indenocarbazole, or combinations thereof.

[0025] For the purposes of the present invention, a linear alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, a branched or cyclic alkyl group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, or an alkenyl or alkynyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms may also be substituted with any individual H atom or CH2 group as previously mentioned under the definition of a radical, preferably methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, 2-methylbutyl, n-pentyl, s-pentyl, cyclopentyl, neopentyl This is interpreted as meaning n-hexyl, cyclohexyl, neohexyl, n-heptyl, cycloheptyl, n-octyl, cyclooctyl, 2-ethylhexyl, trifluoromethyl, pentafluoroethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl, cyclopentenyl, hexenyl, cyclohexenyl, heptenyl, cycloheptenyl, octenyl, cyclooctenyl, ethinyl, propynyl, butynyl, pentynyl, hexynyl, or octinyl radical.

[0026] The alkoxy or thioalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms is preferably methoxy, trifluoromethoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, i-propoxy, n-butoxy, i-butoxy, s-butoxy, t-butoxy, n-pentoxy, s-pentoxy, 2-methylbutoxy, n-hexoxy, cyclohexyloxy, n-heptoxy, cycloheptyloxy, n-octyloxy, cyclooctyloxy, 2-ethylhexyloxy, pentafluoroethoxy, 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy, methylthio, ethylthio, n-propylthio, i-propylthio, n-butylthio, i-butylthio, s-butylthio, t-butylthio, n-pentoxy This is interpreted to mean tilthio, s-pentylthio, n-hexylthio, cyclohexylthio, n-heptylthio, cycloheptylthio, n-octylthio, cyclooctylthio, 2-ethylhexylthio, trifluoromethylthio, pentafluoroethylthio, 2,2,2-trifluoroethylthio, etenylthio, propenylthio, butenylthio, pentenylthio, cyclopentenylthio, hexenylthio, cyclohexenylthio, heptenylthio, cycloheptenylthio, octenylthio, cyclooctenylthio, ethinylthio, propynylthio, butynylthio, pentynylthio, hexynylthio, heptynylthio, or octinylthio.

[0027] The phrase "two or more radicals may be linked together to form a ring" is naturally understood to include cases where two radicals are linked by a chemical bond. In addition, this phrase is naturally understood to include cases where one of the two radicals is H, and this radical H is removed, and the other of the two radicals is linked to the position where this radical H was originally bonded, thereby forming a ring.

[0028] Of formulas (I) and (II), formula (I) is preferred over formula (II).

[0135]

Chem.

[0136] In this scheme, the variable groups are as defined above. The subscript x is the number of hydrogen atoms present in the starting material. The subscript y is equal to the number of deuterium atoms present in the resulting material. Preferably, (x - y) / x = 0.1 to 0, more preferably 0.05 to 0, and most preferably 0.

Suitable polymerization reactions are known to those skilled in the art and are described in the literature. Particularly preferred polymerization reactions that result in the formation of CC or CN bonds are Suzuki polymerization, Yamamoto polymerization, Still polymerization, and Hartwig-Buchwald polymerization.

More preferably, these light-emitting layers in this case have several emission maxima in the range of 380 nm to 750 nm as a whole, producing white light emission as a whole; in other words, various light-emitting compounds that can emit fluorescence or phosphorescence and emit blue, green, yellow, orange, or red light are used for the light-emitting layers. Particularly preferred is a three-layer system, i.e., a system having three light-emitting layers, the three layers exhibiting blue, green, and orange or red light emission.

[0252] B) Device examples B-1) General manufacturing and characterization methods An OLED containing the compound according to this application is prepared by the following general method: The substrate used is a glass plate coated with a 50 nm thick structured ITO (indium tin oxide). The OLED has the following layer structure: substrate / hole injection layer (HIL) / hole transport layer (HTL) / electron blocking layer (EBL) / emissive layer (EML) / electron transport layer (ETL) / electron injection layer (EIL) and finally cathode. The cathode is formed by a 100 nm thick aluminum layer. Specific device settings for the OLED are shown in Table 1, and the materials for various layers of the OLED are shown in Table 3.

[0253] All materials are applied by thermal deposition in a vacuum chamber. Here, the luminescent layer always consists of at least one matrix material (host material) and a luminescent dopant (luminescent material) that is co-deposited with the matrix material or multiple matrix materials in a specific volume ratio. Here, for example, an expression such as H:SEB(5%) means that material H is present in the layer at a volume ratio of 95% and SEB is present at a volume ratio of 5%. Similarly, other layers may also consist of mixtures of two or more materials.

[0254] OLEDs are characterized by standard methods. For this purpose, the electroluminescence spectrum, the external quantum efficiency (EQE, measured in percent) as a function of luminous flux density calculated from the current / voltage / luminous flux density characteristic line (IUL characteristic line) assuming Lambertian emission characteristics, and the lifetime are determined. EQE @ 10mA / cm 2 This expression means 10mA / cm 2 This represents the external quantum efficiency at the operating current density of LT80@60mA / cm². 2 It achieves 60 mA / cm² without using any acceleration factors. 2 At a current density of, for example, 5000 cd / m², the OLED can achieve a current density of 5000 cd / m². 2 From the initial brightness to 80% of the initial intensity, i.e., 4000 cd / m² 2 This is the lifespan until the quality declines to that point.
