Description
An organic compound containing boron and nitrogen and its application in organic electroluminescent devices
[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202311635200.X filed on November 30, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of organic electroluminescent devices, and in particular relates to an organic compound containing boron and nitrogen and an application thereof in an organic electroluminescent device. Background Art
[0004] In organic electroluminescent devices, organic functional layer materials have gone through a development process from fluorescent materials to phosphorescent materials and then to thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials. TADF materials are a kind of materials that can be used to generate a photoluminescent light by controlling the energy level difference between singlet and triplet states (Singlet-triplet splitting energy, ΔE st ) to capture triplet excitons to singlet excitons, the energy level difference (ΔE st ) is small enough to convert triplet excitons into singlet excitons through reverse intersystem crossing (RISC).
[0005] In the related art, TADF materials that introduce boron and nitrogen atoms (TADF materials of the BN series) have a high planarity of molecular structure. When used in organic electroluminescent devices, large overlaps are likely to occur between dopant materials or between dopant materials and host materials. Therefore, their triplet excitons are relatively stable. At the same time, the lifetime of triplet excitons increases, resulting in a decrease in the luminous efficiency or a shortened lifetime of the organic electroluminescent device, which limits the application of BN series TADF materials in organic electroluminescent devices.
[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0033] The present disclosure is described below with reference to specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0034] An organic compound containing boron and nitrogen is proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The structure of the organic compound containing boron and nitrogen is shown in Formula 1:
[0035] Among them, R1~R 12 At least one of them is a silicon-containing substituent; R1~R 12the same as or different from each other and are each independently selected from hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 40 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 5 to 60 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted fluorenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted heterofluorenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy group having 6 to 60 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group having 1 to 39 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted arylamino group having 6 to 39 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 3 to 39 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted wherein the substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl group is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylsilyl group having 1 to 39 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted alkylboryl group having 1 to 39 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted arylboryl group having 6 to 39 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted arylphosphino group having 6 to 39 carbon atoms, and a substituted or unsubstituted arylsilyl group having 6 to 39 carbon atoms; R1 and R2 are bonded to form a ring, fused to form a ring, or are not ringed; R3 and R4 are bonded to form a ring, fused to form a ring, or are not ringed; R5 and R6 are bonded to form a ring, fused to form a ring, or are not ringed; R7 and R8 are bonded to form a ring, fused to form a ring, or are not ringed; R9 and R 10 Bonded to form a ring, fused to form a ring or not, R 11 and R 12 Bonded to form a ring, fused to form a ring, or not formed into a ring; X1~X 12 are the same as or different from each other and are independently selected from CH and N, X 10 ~X 12 At least one of them is N; R1~R 12 、X1~X 12 The hydrogen in the hydrogen is selected from any one or more of protium, deuterium and tritium.
[0036] The boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound proposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure introduces a silicon-containing substituent into the planar molecular skeleton. The silicon-containing substituent prevents overlap between dopants and / or overlap between dopants and host materials, thereby shortening the lifetime of triplet excitons, thereby improving the luminous efficiency and / or extending the life of the organic electroluminescent device. At the same time, the silicon-containing substituent has little effect on the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), triplet state (T1), and singlet state (S1) of the boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound. Moreover, since the silicon-carbon bond (Si-C) is longer than the carbon-carbon bond (CC), the silicon-containing substituent can occupy a wider space, thereby giving the boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound a more three-dimensional structure, thereby improving the luminous efficiency and life of the organic electroluminescent device through the more three-dimensional structure.
[0037] TADF materials are the third generation of organic light-emitting materials developed after organic fluorescent materials and organic phosphorescent materials. TADF materials generate electrons and holes under electric field excitation, and singlet excitons and triplet excitons are generated by the combination of electrons and holes. Excitons decay through transient fluorescence radiation. At the same time, this type of material has a small energy level difference between singlet and triplet states (ΔE st ), low-energy triplet excitons are converted into singlet excitons by thermal activation through the internal reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process, emitting delayed fluorescence (DF), which is a typical E-type TADF process. TADF materials can achieve a small singlet-triplet energy level difference (ΔE) by spatial separation of the HOMO orbital and LUMO orbital electron cloud density distribution. ST ) to meet the energy level conditions for achieving effective reverse intersystem crossing (RISC).
[0038] Based on the principles of quantum statistics, when TADF is electronically excited, 75% of the excited states are in the triplet state and 25% are in the singlet state. While triplet excitons emit transient fluorescence, they can also be thermally activated to convert to singlet excitons, emitting delayed fluorescence. This fully utilizes both singlet and triplet excitons formed under electrical excitation, enabling the device's internal quantum efficiency to reach 100%.
[0039] However, when traditional TADF materials are used as emitters in organic electroluminescent devices, the intrinsic reflection spectrum of TADF materials is relatively wide. For example, the half-width of a typical TADF material is 80nm to 100nm, which will result in relatively low color purity and cannot meet the display requirements of organic electroluminescent devices.
[0040] To address the defect of traditional TADF materials, which have a wide intrinsic reflection spectrum and result in low color purity that cannot meet display requirements, boron and nitrogen atoms can be introduced into the TADF material for doping, and combined with adjacent phenyl groups to construct a rigid polycyclic aromatic skeleton, forming the BN series of multiple resonance TADF (MR-TADF) materials. Due to the opposite resonance effect of nitrogen atoms and boron atoms, the HOMO and LUMO orbital electron cloud distributions can be significantly separated without the introduction of donor or acceptor groups. At the same time, the BN series of MR-TADF materials can achieve narrowband emission, which can significantly improve color purity. However, in the BN series of MR-TADF materials, due to the large overlap between dopant materials or between dopant materials and host materials, their triplet excitons are relatively stable, and the lifetime of triplet excitons is increased, resulting in a decrease in the luminous efficiency or shortened lifetime of organic electroluminescent devices. In addition, a red shift phenomenon may also occur, limiting the application of BN series TADF materials in organic electroluminescent devices.
[0041] In response to the problems of reduced luminescence efficiency and shortened lifetime of BN series TADF materials, the present disclosure proposes an inventive concept of introducing functional groups that can prevent intermolecular overlap into TADF materials, and introducing silicon-containing substituents into the boron-nitrogen-doped planar molecular skeleton. The silicon-containing substituents have little effect on the HOMO orbital, LUMO orbital, triplet state (T1) and singlet state (S1) of the TADF material, that is, the introduction of silicon-containing substituents has little effect on the singlet-triplet energy level difference (ΔEst) and narrowband emission of the TADF material, but the silicon-containing substituents can prevent overlap between dopant materials (dopant) and overlap between dopant materials and host materials (host), reduce the stability of triplet excitons to shorten the lifetime of triplet excitons, promote the RISC process, thereby enhancing the rate at which triplet excitons are converted to singlet excitons, shortening the existence time of excitons, and prolonging the lifetime while improving the luminescence efficiency. At the same time, the triplet state can be moved to a shorter wavelength, that is, a blue shift is generated, thereby realizing a TADF material that provides deep blue light. In addition, as shown in FIG2 , since the silicon-carbon bond (Si-C) is longer than the carbon-carbon bond (CC), the silicon-containing substituent can occupy a wider space, thereby giving the organic compound containing boron and nitrogen a more three-dimensional structure, thereby significantly improving the luminous efficiency and life of the organic electroluminescent device through the more three-dimensional structure.
[0042] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the symbols of each element are commonly used in the art. The symbol "H" represents hydrogen, including the three isotopes of hydrogen ( 1 H), deuterium ( 2 H) and tritium (3 H); the symbol "D" alone represents deuterium ( 2 H).
[0043] As an optional embodiment, in Formula 1, R1 to R 12 Each is independently selected from substituents containing 1 to 4 aromatic rings and / or aromatic heterocycles.
[0044] In electroluminescent devices, improving external quantum efficiency (EQE) requires careful design of device components, architecture, and electrical performance. Furthermore, efficiency is directly dependent on the intrinsic efficiency of the luminescent material used, i.e., the ratio of photons emitted by each molecule. This efficiency is typically quantified in photoluminescence (PL) experiments, also known as the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY).
[0045] In some embodiments, by introducing aromatic rings and / or aromatic heterocycles into the skeleton of the boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound represented by Formula 1, the dispersion of the HOMO orbital on the molecular orbital can be expanded to a certain extent, thereby improving the photoinduced quantum yield (PLQY) of the boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound, and further improving the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the organic electroluminescent device. At the same time, the introduction of 1 to 4 aromatic rings and / or aromatic heterocycles can also improve the overall stereochemistry of the boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound, making the structure of the boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound more three-dimensional, thereby improving the luminous efficiency and life of the organic electroluminescent device.
[0046] As an optional embodiment, in Formula 1, R1 and R2 are bonded to form a 5-8 membered ring, and / or, R3 and R4 are bonded to form a 5-8 membered ring, and / or, R5 and R6 are bonded to form a 5-8 membered ring, and / or, R7 and R8 are bonded to form a 5-8 membered ring, and / or, R9 and R 10 bonded to form a 5- to 8-membered ring, and / or, R 11 and R 12 Bonded into 5- to 8-membered rings.
[0047] In some embodiments, R1 and R2 are bonded to form a 5-8 membered ring, and / or R3 and R4 are bonded to form a 5-8 membered ring, and / or R5 and R6 are bonded to form a 5-8 membered ring, and / or R7 and R8 are bonded to form a 5-8 membered ring, and / or R9 and R 10 bonded to form a 5- to 8-membered ring, and / or, R 11 and R12 The bonds are formed into 5- to 8-membered rings. Bonding into 5- to 8-membered rings can make the structures and relative positions of these adjacent substituents more stable, and can also, to a certain extent, make the torsion angles between these adjacent substituents and the skeleton of the organic compound containing boron and nitrogen more stable, thereby avoiding changes in the torsion angles between these adjacent substituents and the skeleton, and further avoiding the instability of the organic compound containing boron and nitrogen caused by the change in the torsion angle, thereby avoiding the attenuation of the performance of the organic electroluminescent device caused by the instability of the organic compound containing boron and nitrogen. In other words, by bonding adjacent substituents into 5- to 8-membered rings, the efficiency of the organic electroluminescent device can be improved to a certain extent, the life of the organic electroluminescent device can be extended, and the defects of efficiency roll-off and shortened life of the organic electroluminescent device can be avoided.
[0048] As an optional embodiment, in Formula 1, X1, X3, X4, X5, X8, X 9、 X 10 、X 11 and X 12 are the same as or different from each other and are each independently selected from CD and N.
[0049] As an optional embodiment, in Formula 1, X2, X6 and X7 are the same as or different from each other, and are independently selected from CD and N.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound shown in general formula 1, since the phenyl group of the skeleton is connected to the electron-withdrawing functional group boron (B), the chemical reactivity of the meta-position of the electron-withdrawing functional group boron (B) in the phenyl group will be enhanced, and to a certain extent, the chemical reactivity of the ortho-position and para-position of the electron-withdrawing functional group boron (B) in the phenyl group will also be enhanced.
[0051] Since the phenyl group of the skeleton is also connected to the electron-donating functional group nitrogen (N), the meta position of the electron-withdrawing functional group boron (B) and the ortho position of the electron-donating functional group nitrogen (N) are at the same position of the phenyl group of the skeleton, that is, X1, X3, X4, X5, X8, X9, X10, X110, X120, X130, X140, X150, X160, X170, X180, X190, X200, X210, X220, X230, X240, X250, X260, X270, X280, X30 ... 10 、X 11 and X 12 The positions shown in FIG5 will cause the chemical reaction activity of the phenyl positions to become very high, causing the hydrogen at these positions of the phenyl to be easily detached, thereby reducing the stability of the organic compound containing boron and nitrogen, and further reducing the life of the organic electroluminescent device. In order to avoid the reduction in the life of the organic electroluminescent device due to this reason, in some embodiments, the X1, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, X8, X9, X10, X11, X12, X13, X14, X15, X16, X17, X18, X19, X20, X21, X22, X30, X41, X50, X61, X70, X80, X9, X10, X11, X12, X13, X14, X15 8、 X9, X 10 、X 11 and X 12The CH groups at the shown positions are CD groups and / or N groups, that is, the protium (H) at these positions of the phenyl group of the skeleton can be replaced by deuterium (D), or the CH at these positions can be directly replaced by nitrogen (N), thereby reducing the activity of these positions and preventing the fall-off of protium (H) on the phenyl group, so as to improve the stability of the boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound of the embodiment of the present disclosure, thereby improving the life of the organic electroluminescent device.
[0052] In addition, due to the ortho and para positions of the electron-withdrawing functional group boron (B) in the phenyl group of the skeleton and the meta position of the electron-donating functional group nitrogen (N) in the same position of the phenyl group of the skeleton, i.e., the positions shown in X2, X6 and X7 in the general formula 1, the chemical reaction activity of these positions also increases to a certain extent, causing the hydrogen at these positions of the phenyl group to also fall off more easily, reducing the stability of the organic compound containing boron and nitrogen, and thus causing the life of the organic electroluminescent device to decrease. In order to avoid causing the life of the organic electroluminescent device to decrease due to this reason, in some embodiments, the CH group at the positions shown in X2, X6 and X7 in the phenyl group of the skeleton can be a CD group and / or an N group, that is, the protium (H) at these positions of the phenyl group of the skeleton can be replaced with deuterium (D), or the CH at these positions can be directly replaced with nitrogen (N), thereby reducing the activity of these positions, preventing the falling off of protium (H) on the phenyl group, to improve the stability of the organic compound containing boron and nitrogen of the disclosed embodiments to a certain extent, and thus improving the life of the organic electroluminescent device.
[0053] As an optional embodiment, the structure of the organic compound containing boron and nitrogen is shown in Formula 2 or Formula 3:
[0054] In general formula 2 and general formula 3, R1 to R 12 、X1~X 12 The definitions of are the same as those in Formula 1.
[0055] In some embodiments, a silicon-containing substituent as shown in General Formula 2 or General Formula 3 can be introduced into the boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound shown in General Formula 1. The silicon-containing substituent is connected to multiple phenyl groups. As shown in Figure 2, the multiple phenyl groups connected to silicon are twisted with each other, so that the structure of the silicon-containing substituent itself is more three-dimensional. When the substituent is connected to a planar molecular skeleton, the individual phenyl groups in the silicon-containing substituent and the molecular skeleton are not in the same plane, so that the molecular structure of the formed boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound is more three-dimensional, thereby preventing overlap between dopant materials and overlap between dopant materials and host materials to a certain extent, reducing the stability of triplet excitons to shorten the lifetime of triplet excitons, and promoting the RISC process, thereby enhancing the rate at which triplet excitons are converted to singlet excitons, shortening the existence time of excitons, and prolonging the lifetime while improving the luminous efficiency. At the same time, the triplet state can be moved to a shorter wavelength, that is, a blue shift is generated, thereby realizing a TADF material that provides deep blue light.
[0056] At the same time, because the silicon-carbon bond (Si-C) is longer than the carbon-carbon bond (CC), the silicon-containing substituent formed by connecting silicon to multiple phenyl groups occupies a larger space and has a stronger three-dimensional structure, thereby making the structure of the organic compound containing boron and nitrogen more three-dimensional, thereby improving the ability to prevent overlap between dopant materials (dopant) and between dopant materials and host materials (host), thereby making the organic electroluminescent device have higher luminous efficiency and longer life.
[0057] As an optional embodiment, the singlet energy level (E S1 ) and triplet energy level (E T1 ) energy level difference (ΔE st ) is greater than 0eV and less than 1.0eV.
[0058] In TADF materials, the energy level difference (ΔE st ) is one of the most important physical parameters of TADF materials. The smaller energy level difference (ΔE st ) is the main characteristic of TADF materials, which greatly affects the reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process. The smaller the energy level difference, the easier it is for triplet excitons to achieve reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process. In other words, the energy level difference (ΔEst) is negatively correlated with the rate of reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process of triplet excitons. The smaller the energy level difference (ΔEst), the easier it is for triplet excitons to achieve reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process. st ) can increase the conversion efficiency of triplet excitons to singlet excitons, which is beneficial to increase the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of TADF materials.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the singlet energy level (E S1) and triplet energy level (E T1 ) energy level difference (ΔE st ) is greater than 0eV and less than 1.0eV, that is, the energy level difference (ΔE st ) as close to 0eV as possible, so that triplet excitons are more easily converted into singlet excitons, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the luminous efficiency of the organic electroluminescent device and extending the life of the organic electroluminescent device.
[0060] In some embodiments, the energy level difference (ΔE st ) is calculated based on the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), and the simulation calculations are performed using the B3LYP / 6–31G(d,p) basis set level in TD-DFT.

[0124] *The voltage, luminous efficiency and service life in the examples are calculated based on the comparative example.
[0125] The boron-nitrogen-containing organic compound proposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure introduces a silicon-containing substituent into the planar molecular skeleton. The silicon-containing substituent prevents overlap between dopants and / or overlap between dopants and host materials, thereby shortening the lifetime of triplet excitons, thereby improving the luminous efficiency and / or extending the life of the organic electroluminescent device.
