Organic compounds and their applications
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on August 17, 2023, with application number 202311052596.5 and application name “Organic Compounds and Their Applications”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0002] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of organic electro-optical materials, and in particular to an organic compound and its application. Background Art
[0003] Electro-optic modulators are core devices for photoelectric information conversion and are crucial for overcoming the two major technical challenges of bandwidth and energy consumption in optical communication networks. Electro-optic materials, as the core components of electro-optic modulators, have attracted widespread attention. Organic electro-optic materials are considered promising due to their advantages, such as molecular-level structural design, higher electro-optic coefficients than the inorganic optical material lithium niobate, faster response speeds, and good processability.
[0004] According to the interaction between molecules of organic electro-optical materials after polarization orientation, organic electro-optical materials can be divided into self-assembly type and cross-linking type. Among them, cross-linking electro-optical materials have become a research hotspot in recent years due to their high stability in polarization orientation. Existing cross-linking electro-optical materials usually include chromophores and cross-linking agents (such as small molecules, polymers), or include at least two chromophores, but the content of the effective active ingredient - chromophore in the former is low, and the room for improving the electro-optic coefficient is limited, while the latter can better improve the electro-optic coefficient. Among them, the binary chromophore cross-linking system requires the two chromophores to be adjusted in ratio and then mixed, which is cumbersome to operate, and the glass transition temperature (T g ) usually have differences, resulting in uncertainty in the polarization process and cumbersome polarization steps. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new cross-linked electro-optical material that is more conducive to practical applications.

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below.
[0037] Given the problems of existing binary chromophore cross-linking systems, such as the need to regulate the ratio of the two chromophores and the difficulty in matching the Tg of the two chromophores, which leads to a cumbersome polarization process, the present invention provides a self-crosslinking organic compound. The term "chromophore" refers to a compound that can absorb light within a certain wavelength peak and produce a certain color. The organic compound provided in this application is also a chromophore.
[0038] Specifically, the organic compound provided in the examples of the present application has the general structural formula shown in formula (I):
[0039] In formula (I), A represents an electron acceptor, D represents an electron donor, Z is a sulfur atom (S), an oxygen atom (O) or NH, and R1 is selected from substituted or unsubstituted C1-C 10 Alkylene; n is an integer selected from 0-2; X1 includes at least one first crosslinkable group, X2 includes at least one second crosslinkable group, and a cycloaddition crosslinking reaction can occur between the first crosslinkable group and the second crosslinkable group.
[0040] In the above-mentioned organic compound provided by the present application, the two cross-linkable groups are respectively connected to the same chromophore (i.e., the organic compound) by means of covalent bonds, and the two cross-linkable groups can undergo a cycloaddition cross-linking reaction with each other, which makes the organic compound a self-cross-linking chromophore with high polarization orientation. When the organic compound is used to prepare an electro-optically active film, the polarized organic compound itself can undergo a cross-linking reaction to obtain an electro-optically active film with a high electro-optical coefficient, without the need to introduce an external substance as a cross-linking agent, for example, without the need to introduce a second chromophore that can undergo a cross-linking reaction with the organic compound, which avoids the problem of regulating the ratio of the two chromophores and the existence of the problem of the T of the two chromophores. g The polarization process is complicated and unstable due to the difficulty in matching. Moreover, since the organic compound can self-crosslink, the crosslinking density of its crosslinked product is large, and the T of the electro-optical active film containing its crosslinked product is large. g It is relatively high and is not easily stimulated by high temperatures and loses its electro-optical activity. It is suitable for making electro-optical devices that can operate stably at high temperatures and can meet the communication industry's requirements for the thermal stability of electro-optical devices.
[0041] In addition, the electro-optical activity of cross-linked organic electro-optical materials is usually achieved by applying an electric field to polarize their molecules. Generally, an electric field is applied to a dry film containing the organic electro-optical material and the dry film is heated to a temperature close to the glass transition temperature T of the organic electro-optical material. g , so that its molecules are reoriented and its dipole moment is aligned with the electric field, and then it is further heated to the crosslinking temperature of the organic electro-optical material to cause intermolecular crosslinking and thus stabilize the already polarized molecules; then it is cooled while the electric field is still in place to maintain the polarization induction and obtain an electro-optically active film. However, if the electro-optically active film is heated again to a temperature close to the T g When the electro-optical activity is lost, the glass transition temperature T g Also higher, the T g The temperature difference between the crosslinking temperature and the crosslinking temperature is appropriate, and the crosslinked organic compound can smoothly exhibit electro-optical activity through polarization and crosslinking; and the T g The electro-optical active film containing the cross-linked product can withstand higher temperatures without losing its electro-optical activity. Therefore, the organic compound provided by the present application can take into account both high electro-optical coefficient and high Tg The electro-optical active film produced by it also has high electro-optical coefficient and high thermal stability.
[0042] In the present application, the first crosslinkable group and the second crosslinkable group may be reactive groups capable of crosslinking by (4+2) or (3+2) cycloaddition. Exemplarily, the first crosslinkable group and the second crosslinkable group may independently include, but are not limited to, one or more of anthracene, acrylate, maleamide, furanyl, aryl azide, alkynyloxy, or derivatives thereof, but need to satisfy the requirement that a cycloaddition crosslinking reaction can occur between the first crosslinkable group and the second crosslinkable group.
[0043] Specifically, an anthracene group can crosslink with an acrylate group or a maleamide group via a (4+2) cycloaddition reaction; a maleamide group can crosslink with a furan group via a (4+2) cycloaddition reaction; and an azidoaryl group can crosslink with an alkynyloxy group via a (3+2) cycloaddition reaction. The presence of reactive groups capable of undergoing cycloaddition crosslinking reactions ensures that the crosslinking temperature of the organic compound is greater than its Tg, facilitating polarization under electric field stimulation and subsequent crosslinking to stabilize the orientation of the polarized molecules and maintain stable electro-optical activity. By regulating the X1 and X2 groups with crosslinkable groups, the variety of organic compounds can be enriched. The acrylate group or its derivative group can include CH2=CH-COO-, CH2=CH-CH2-COO-, CH2=CH-CH2-CH2-COO-, methacrylate group (CH2=C(CH3)-COO-), and the like.

[0089] The reaction equation in step (9) is as follows:
[0090] The preparation of self-crosslinking organic electro-optical materials is generally difficult, but the preparation method of the compound represented by formula (IA) described above provides a feasible route for preparing organic compounds having groups that can undergo crosslinking reactions with each other, and the yield of each step is high. This preparation method is applicable to the preparation of a variety of organic compounds with different structures.

[0091] It should be noted that in the above preparation method, the two hydroxyl protecting groups Q1 and Q2 are removed simultaneously in step (6), and then the esterification reactions of steps (7) and (8) are carried out in sequence. It is understood that in other embodiments of the present application, one of the hydroxyl groups may be deprotected first, and the deprotected hydroxyl group may be subjected to an esterification reaction, and then the deprotection and esterification reactions of the other hydroxyl group may be carried out.
[0092] The present invention also provides a composition comprising the organic compound and a solvent. The composition can be used to prepare a film containing a crosslinked product of the organic compound, in particular, to prepare an electro-optically active film.
[0093] The solvent is capable of dissolving the organic compound. Exemplary solvents may include, but are not limited to, one or more of chloroform (ie, chloroform), dibromomethane, and dichloromethane.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the composition does not contain an external crosslinking agent and may contain only the aforementioned organic compound and a solvent. The organic compound serves as both the effective active component (chromophore) and the crosslinking agent. The electro-optically active film produced using this composition has a high content of the effective active component and exhibits high electro-optical performance.
[0095] The present invention also provides a film comprising a cross-linked product of the aforementioned composition or a cross-linked product of the aforementioned organic compound. The film is obtained by cross-linking the composition containing the aforementioned organic compound.
[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the film may be an electro-optically active film, which is generally polarized and oriented by an electric field before cross-linking. The electro-optically active film is particularly suitable for manufacturing components of optical communication systems, such as electro-optic modulators.
[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the above-mentioned film is greater than or equal to 150°C, and specifically may be greater than or equal to 160°C, greater than or equal to 180°C, greater than or equal to 200°C, etc. The glass transition temperature of the film provided in the embodiment of the present application is relatively high, especially in the field of electro-optical active films. The high Tg film provided in the embodiment of the present application is particularly helpful for the stable operation of various components of optical communication systems using the film. Among them, Tg can be measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) or thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the electro-optic coefficient (r 33 ) is greater than or equal to 190pm / V. Among them, the electro-optic coefficient of the film (r 33 ) is the maximum electro-optic coefficient r measured by the simple reflection method (also known as the Teng-Man method, see CCTeng, HTMan, Simple refection technique for measuring the electro-optic coefficient of poled polymers, Applied Physics Letters, 1990, 56(18), 1734-1736.) 33 Therefore, it can be said that the maximum r of the electro-optical active film provided by the embodiment of the present application is 33 is greater than or equal to 190 pm / V. In some embodiments, the maximum r 33 The electro-optical active film provided in the embodiment of the present application has a r greater than or equal to 195 pm / V, greater than or equal to 200 pm / V, greater than or equal to 230 pm / V, or even greater than or equal to 260 pm / V. 33 Therefore, the electro-optical active film provided by the embodiment of the present application can have both a higher Tg and a higher electro-optical coefficient r 33 , the overall performance is good.
[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, the average polarization efficiency of the film is greater than or equal to 1.5nm 2 / V 2 In some embodiments, the polarization efficiency of the film is greater than or equal to 1.8 nm 2 / V 2 Among them, through multiple polarization field data and corresponding r 33 The average polarization efficiency of the film is calculated by linear least squares regression.33 The slope of the linear fitting curve of the polarization field strength is 1.5-2.5nm. 2 / V 2 , for example, 1.5, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 nm 2 / V 2 wait.
[0100] The present invention also provides a method for preparing an electro-optically active thin film, which comprises the following steps:
[0101] (1) coating a solution containing an organic compound according to an embodiment of the present application (such as the above-mentioned composition according to an embodiment of the present application) on a substrate and drying the solution to form a film layer;
[0102] (2) applying an electric field to the film layer and heating it at a first temperature to polarize the organic compound in the film layer;
[0103] (3) The polarized film layer is further heated to a second temperature to allow the organic compound in the film layer to self-crosslink, and then the temperature is lowered to obtain an electro-optically active thin film.
[0104] When an electric field is applied to the film obtained in step (1), at a first temperature, the molecules of the organic compound in the film are reoriented so that their dipole moments are aligned with the electric field; then, heating is continued in the presence of the electric field to cause a cross-linking reaction in the film, thereby stabilizing the already polarized molecules; thereafter, the temperature is lowered while the electric field is still present, so that the polarized molecules can be maintained, thereby obtaining an electro-optically active film. The glass transition temperature of the electro-optically active film is generally higher than that of the film obtained in step (1), which facilitates the long-term stable operation of the electro-optical device made using the electro-optically active film at high temperatures, thereby preventing the electro-optically active film from losing its electro-optical activity due to its inability to withstand high temperatures.
[0105] The applied electric field may specifically be a direct current electric field. The electric field may be applied by connecting the film layer between a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Furthermore, the second temperature is higher than the first temperature, and the second temperature may be referred to as the "crosslinking temperature." The first temperature is generally close to the glass transition temperature Tg of the organic compound described in the embodiments of the present application. Generally, the second temperature may be 20-70°C higher than the first temperature.
[0106] The present application also provides the use of the above-mentioned organic compounds, the above-mentioned compositions, the above-mentioned films, and the electro-optically active films prepared by the above-mentioned methods for preparing electro-optically active films in the embodiments of the present application in components of optical communication systems, solar cells, organic electroluminescent devices, and organic photoluminescent devices.
[0107] In applications such as solar cells, organic electroluminescent devices, and organic photoluminescent devices, the electro-optical activity of the organic compounds described above is not required. These organic compounds or films are typically used as hole transport layers in these solar cells, organic electroluminescent devices, and organic photoluminescent devices. Therefore, the films do not need to exhibit electro-optical activity, and therefore, when preparing the films using the aforementioned preparation methods, no electric field needs to be applied. Of course, even if the films exhibit electro-optical activity, this does not affect their hole transport function. Specifically, when the aforementioned applications are in organic electroluminescent devices or organic photoluminescent devices, the organic compounds or films described above can improve the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting devices. When used in solar cells, such as dye-sensitized solar cells, the solar cells can improve their utilization of sunlight and their photoelectric conversion efficiency. If these solar cells are installed in electric vehicles, they can be charged with solar energy. If these solar cells are made into solar cell glass, they can be used to power indoor spaces using solar energy.

In embodiments of the present application, the components of the optical communication systems include one or more of electro-optical devices, optical switches, straight waveguides, curved waveguides, single-mode optical splitters, routers, filters, optical interconnects, and resonators. The electro-optical devices include one or more of electro-optical modulators, terahertz detectors, electro-optical frequency shifters, and frequency comb sources. Optical switches can also be referred to as "optical modulators."
[0109] The present application also provides a component of an optical communication system, wherein the component includes the electro-optically active film described above in the embodiment of the present application. The component of the optical communication system may be as described above in the present application.
[0110] The present invention also provides an electro-optical device comprising the electro-optically active film of the present invention, wherein the electro-optically active film can be used as an electro-optical functional layer of the electro-optical device.
[0111] In an embodiment of the present application, the electro-optical device includes one or more of an electro-optic modulator, a coupler, a terahertz detector, an electro-optic frequency shifter, and a frequency comb source. The electro-optical modulator may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), a phase modulator, a silicon-organic hybrid modulator, a plasma-organic hybrid modulator, and the like.
[0112] Referring to Figure 1, the present application provides a schematic structural diagram of an electro-optic modulator. The electro-optic modulator 100 includes a first electrode 20, a second electrode 50, and a waveguide layer 30 and an electro-optical functional layer 40 sandwiched therebetween, wherein the waveguide layer 30 is adjacent to the first electrode, and the electro-optical functional layer 40 is adjacent to the second electrode 50. The electro-optical functional layer 40 includes the electro-optically active film described above in the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the electro-optic modulator 100 also includes a substrate 10, wherein the first electrode 20, the waveguide layer 30, the electro-optical functional layer 40, and the second electrode 50 are sequentially stacked on a side surface of the substrate 10.
[0113] The substrate 10 may be a Si wafer having a silicon oxide layer on its surface. The first electrode 20 may be aluminum or other metal materials. The waveguide layer 30 may include an input waveguide and an output waveguide, both of which have a Y-shaped structure. The input waveguide and the output waveguide are coupled via two modulation arms to form a Mach-Zehnder (MZI) waveguide structure, wherein each output end of the input waveguide is coupled to the input end of the output waveguide via a modulation arm. The waveguide layer 30 may be made of Si. The second electrode 50 may be a traveling wave electrode made of Au (gold) and may include an electrode pair. The orthographic projection of the second electrode 50 on the waveguide layer 30 may fall on the two modulation arms of the band layer 3. In addition, a first dielectric layer 203 (e.g., SiO2) may be provided between the first electrode 20 and the waveguide layer 30, and a second dielectric layer 405 (e.g., SiO2) may be provided between the electro-optical functional layer 40 and the second electrode 50 to provide isolation and protection.
[0114] During operation of the electro-optic modulator, the second electrode 50 and the first electrode 20 can be electrically connected to apply a modulation voltage across the electro-optical functional layer 40, achieving phase modulation through the electro-optical effect of the electro-optic material. Light generated by a laser light source can be input from the input end of the waveguide layer 30, evenly split by the Y-shaped structure, and then enter the two modulation arms of the waveguide layer 30. When the voltage applied across the electro-optical functional layer 40 changes, the refractive index of the electro-optical functional layer 40 changes, and the characteristics of the light wave change, thereby modulating the phase, amplitude, intensity, and polarization state of the optical signals in the upper and lower modulation arms. After modulation, the light from the upper and lower modulation arms is combined by the Y-shaped structure and output from the output end of the waveguide layer 30. The optical power of the output light varies with the modulation signal, achieving electro-optical modulation.

[0200] Results characterization:
[0201] (1) DFT theory simulation calculation
[0202] To compare the microscopic nonlinearity, charge transfer, and stereo configuration of different chromophores, the chromophore SLD1-14 provided in the examples of this application was subjected to structural optimization and theoretical calculation of the first-order hyperpolarizability. The theoretical calculations were performed using the Gaussian 09 software package, based on the B3LYP method of the density functional theory (DFT) combined with the 6-31g(d) basis set. During the calculations, we assumed that all molecules were in the trans configuration, optimized the chromophore structure, and calculated the energy levels, dipole moments, electron cloud density, and microscopic first-order hyperpolarizability β of the ground and excited states of the chromophore. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0203] Table 1 DFT calculation data of various organic compounds
[0204] Table 1 shows that the first-order hyperpolarizabilities β of SLD1 to SLD14 increase with increasing donor strength (as reflected by decreasing ΔE). Although SLD1 and SLD2 contain different numbers of crosslinkable groups, their donors are both common aniline donors, resulting in similar first-order hyperpolarizabilities.
[0205] (2) Thermal stability and spectral absorption characteristics
[0206] The spectral absorption characteristics and thermal stability of each chromophore were tested. Table 2 below summarizes the test results for chromophores SLD1, SLD2, SLD3, and SLD4. The thermal stability of the chromophores can be characterized by their thermogravimetric curves. The thermogravimetric curve for chromophore SLD1 is shown in Figure 2A, and the thermogravimetric curve for chromophore SLD2 is shown in Figure 2B. The UV-visible spectra of chromophore SLD1 in different solvents and films are shown in Figure 3. The UV-visible spectra of chromophore SLD2 in different solvents and films are shown in Figure 4.
[0207] Table 2
[0208] Note: T in Table 2 d and T g It can be known from the thermogravimetric curve and differential scanning calorimetry curve of each chromophore; max a is the maximum absorption wavelength of each chromophore in chloroform solvent, λ max b It is the maximum absorption wavelength of each chromophore in the cross-linked film (specifically, cross-linking is achieved by heating at 150°C for 30 minutes).
[0209] It can be seen from Table 2 that the chromophores SLD1 to SLD4 provided in the examples of the present application have high thermal stability (T g Above 150℃), it is conducive to the preparation of electro-optically active and stable thin films. Among them, SLD2 has better thermal stability than SLD1 with similar structure. g As high as 200℃, its thermal decomposition temperature T d The maximum absorption wavelength of SLD2 in chloroform, which has an additional anthracene group compared to SLD1, is 753 nm, which is close to 749 nm of SLD1. This proves that the cross-linkable group (specifically the anthracene group) does not affect the light absorption performance of the main structure of the chromophore too much. The larger λ max a This indicates that the chromophore possesses a large first-order hyperpolarizability. Furthermore, the maximum absorption wavelength of the cross-linked SLD2-containing film is nearly identical to that of SLD1. Furthermore, the anthracene absorption peak of the cross-linked chromophore-containing films decreases compared to the uncross-linked films, indicating the participation of the anthracene group in the cross-linking reaction. Furthermore, a comparison between SLD4 and SLD3 shows a similar pattern to that between SLD1 and SLD2.
[0210] (3) Electro-optical performance of assembled devices
[0211] In order to illustrate the conversion of the microscopic hyperpolarizability β of the organic compound provided in the embodiment of the present application into the macroscopic r 33 The ability of the value is first made into an electro-optically active film. Different chromophores are dissolved in freshly distilled dibromomethane respectively, and the obtained solution is filtered through a 0.2mm polytetrafluoroethylene (abbreviated as PTFE) filter and spin-coated on an indium oxide (ITO) glass substrate. After heating at 50°C to remove the solvent dibromomethane, a dry film layer is obtained. The upper surface of the dry film layer is connected to a metal electrode (such as a gold electrode), and the gold electrode is electrically connected to the ITO electrode to apply an electric field to polarize the film layer and then cross-link to obtain a stable film exhibiting electro-optical activity. The specific operation process is: 1) First, a polarizing electric field with an intensity of 10V / μm is applied between the gold electrode and the ITO electrode, and the temperature is raised to 100°C at a rate of 10°C / min. 2) The electric field intensity was then gradually increased to 100-130 V / μm with a step voltage of 1 V / minute. At the same time, the film was heated at 100°C for 5 minutes, 110°C for 5 minutes, 120°C for 5 minutes, 130°C for 5 minutes, 140°C for 5 minutes, and 150°C for 10 minutes. After each film sample was cooled to room temperature, the polarization properties of the obtained electro-optically active film at a wavelength of 1310 nm were tested using the Teng-Man simple reflection method. The relevant results are summarized in Table 3.
[0212] The experimental setup for measuring the electro-optic coefficient using a simple reflection method is shown in FIG5 . The signal light source used is a 1310 nm laser in the communication band. The two polarizers are perpendicular to each other, and the incident angle θ is 45°. After the incident light passes through the ITO glass and the electro-optically active film, it is reflected and emitted from the surface of the metal electrode, interferes with the polarizer 2, and is detected by a phase-locked amplifier and a detector. Different modulation voltages are applied to both sides of the electro-optically active film, and the refractive index of the film changes, causing the optical path and phase state of the incident light to change. After the reflected light interferes with the polarizer 2, polarized light in different phase states exhibits different extinction phenomena. The light intensity detected by the detector will have a certain relationship with the modulation voltage, so that the electro-optic coefficient r of the polarized film at a wavelength of 1310 nm can be calculated. 33 Among them, thin ITO electrodes with low reflectivity and good transparency are used to minimize multiple reflections.
[0213] Table 3 Relevant test data of electro-optical devices assembled with various chromophores
[0214] Note: In Table 3, ρ N represents the number density of the polarizable compound (assuming a mass density of 1 g / cm 3 ). 33 / E p It is also called the average polarization efficiency, which is based on the r measured at different polarization field strengths of each film. 33 The polarization curve obtained by linear least squares regression is also the slope of the polarization curve, which is the average value of multiple polarization experiments. 33 / (E p ρ N ) represents the polarization efficiency per number density, which can better reflect the polarization of the compound.
[0215] FIG6 shows the polarization curve of the film SLD1 after self-crosslinking of the embodiment of the present application, and FIG7 shows the polarization curve of the film SLD2 after crosslinking of the embodiment of the present application. The horizontal axis is the polarization field strength, and the vertical axis is the r of the film at each polarization field strength. 33 The relevant performance indicators are summarized in Table 3. The data points in Figures 6 and 7 were obtained as follows: after the electric field strength applied between the gold electrode and the ITO electrode in step 2) above reached the electric field strength corresponding to each data point, the heating operation in step 2) above was performed to achieve self-crosslinking, and the electro-optically active film was obtained after cooling, and its relevant properties were tested.
[0216] From Table 3 and Figures 6 and 7, it can be seen that the average polarization efficiency of the electro-optical active film formed by polarization and cross-linking of the dry film containing SLD1 is about 2.03nm 2 / V 2, the maximum electro-optic coefficient r obtained under the polarization field 33 The average polarization efficiency of SLD2 after cross-linking is about 1.58nm 2 / V 2 , maximum electro-optic coefficient r 33 It is about 198pm / V. Among them, the average polarization efficiency and maximum electro-optic coefficient of chromophore SLD1 after cross-linking are higher than those of chromophore SLD2. This is mainly because the dianthracene structure of chromophore SLD2 leads to an increase in the molecular weight of the chromophore, resulting in a decrease in the number density of the chromophore. The difference in electro-optic coefficient is mainly affected by the number density and polarization efficiency of the chromophore, while the above-mentioned first-order hyperpolarizability is less affected by this. However, it should be noted that although the electro-optic coefficient of chromophore SLD1 is larger, its glass transition temperature Tg is not as high as that of chromophore SLD2. In general, the use of these two chromophores SLD1 and SLD2 can obtain electro-optically active films with good comprehensive performance, which can take into account higher Tg. g and a higher electro-optical coefficient max.r 33 wait.
