Description

[0001] Materials for organic electroluminescent devices Technical field The present invention relates to specific deuterated spirocarbazole triazine derivatives, mixtures and formulations containing them, and electronic devices containing these compounds, in particular organic electroluminescent devices containing these compounds as matrix materials, electron-transport materials or hole-blocking materials. State of the art Phosphorescent organometallic complexes are frequently used in organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs). In general, there is still room for improvement in OLEDs, for example with regard to efficiency, operating voltage and lifetime. The properties of phosphorescent OLEDs are determined not only by the triplet emitters used. The other materials used, such as matrix materials, are also of particular importance here.Improvements to these materials can therefore also lead to significant improvements in OLED properties. WO 2014 / 094963 A1 describes special non-deuterated spirocarbazole triazine derivatives and their suitability for organic electronic devices. In general, there is still room for improvement with these materials, particularly for use as matrix materials. The object of the present invention is therefore to provide compounds which are particularly suitable for use as matrix material, electron transport material, electron injection material, or hole blocking material in a phosphorescent OLED. In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide matrix materials which lead to an improved lifetime. This applies in particular to the use of a low to medium emitter concentration, i.e.Emitter concentrations in the order of magnitude of 3 to 20%, in particular 3 to 15%, since the device lifetime is limited here in particular. In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide electron-transport materials which lead to an improved lifetime. It has now been found that electroluminescent devices which contain compounds according to the following formula (1) or formula (1A) exhibit improvements over the prior art, in particular when using the compounds as matrix material for phosphorescent dopants. It has further been found that the combination of at least one compound of the formula (1) orFormula (1A) as the first host material and at least one hole-transporting compound, for example in combination with one or more compounds of the formulas (HH-1), (HH-2), (HH-3), (HH-4), (HH-5) or (HH-6), as a further host material or further host materials in a light-emitting layer of an organic electronic device, in particular an organic electroluminescent device, achieve this object and eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art.

Description of the invention In the present patent application, "D" or "D atom" denotes deuterium. The degree of deuteration, given in mol%, means the proportion of H atoms replaced by deuterium. Since the deuterated compounds are often a mixture of compounds that differ in the exact position and the exact proportion of the D atoms, the degree of deuteration denotes the average proportion of H atoms replaced by D.With a degree of deuteration of 50 mol%, an average of 50 mol% of the H atoms in the compound are replaced by D, resulting in a medium degree of deuteration. In a first preferred embodiment, the spirocarbazole skeleton has at least one D atom. The spirocarbazole skeleton comprises the spirobifluorene group and the fused carbazole group, including the 6-membered ring formed from the X groups.

The emitters are incorporated into the description by this reference. Particularly preferred examples of phosphorescent emitters are listed in Table 6 below. Table 6:.

[0015] In the mixtures according to the invention or in the light-emitting layer of the device according to the invention, each mixture selected from the sum of the mixtures M1 to M1728 is preferably combined with a compound of the formulas (I) to (IX) or a compound from Table 6. The light-emitting layer in the organic electroluminescent device according to the invention comprising at least one phosphorescent emitter is preferably an infrared-emitting, yellow-, orange-, red-, green-, blue-, or ultraviolet-emitting layer, particularly preferably a yellow- or green-emitting layer, and very particularly preferably a green-emitting layer. A yellow-emitting layer is understood to mean a layer whose photoluminescence maximum is in the range from 540 to 570 nm. An orange-emitting layer is understood to mean a layer whose photoluminescence maximum is in the range from 570 to 600 nm.A red-emitting layer is defined as a layer whose photoluminescence maximum lies in the range from 600 to 750 nm. A green-emitting layer is defined as a layer whose photoluminescence maximum lies in the range from 490 to 540 nm. A blue-emitting layer is defined as a layer whose photoluminescence maximum lies in the range from 440 to 490 nm. The photoluminescence maximum of the layer is determined by measuring the photoluminescence spectrum of the layer with a layer thickness of 50 nm at room temperature, wherein the layer contains the inventive combination of host material 1 of formulas (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11) or (12) and host material 2, consisting of at least one of the formulas (HH-1), (HH-2), (HH-3), (HH-4), (HH-5) and (HH-6), and the corresponding emitter. The photoluminescence spectrum of the layer is recorded, for example, using a commercially available photoluminescence spectrometer.The photoluminescence spectrum of the selected emitter is usually measured in oxygen-free solution, 10. -5molar, measured at room temperature, and any solvent in which the selected emitter dissolves at the specified concentration is suitable. Particularly suitable solvents are usually toluene or 2-methyl-THF, but also dichloromethane. The measurement is carried out using a commercially available photoluminescence spectrometer. The triplet energy T1 in eV is determined from the photoluminescence spectra of the emitters. First, the peak maximum Plmax. (in nm) of the photoluminescence spectrum is determined. The peak maximum Plmax. (in nm) is then converted to eV according to: E(T1 in eV) = 1240 / E(T1 in nm) = 1240 / PLmax. (in nm). Preferred phosphorescent emitters are therefore yellow emitters, preferably of formulas (I) to (IX) or from Table 6, whose triplet energy T1 is preferably between ~2.3 eV and ~2.1 eV. Preferred phosphorescent emitters are therefore green emitters, preferably of formulas (I) to (IX) or from Table 6, whose triplet energy T1 is preferably between ~2.5 eV to ~2.3 eV. Accordingly, particularly preferred phosphorescent emitters are green emitters, preferably of the formulas (I) to (IX) or from Table 6, as described above, whose triplet energy T1 is preferably ~2.5 eV to ~2.3 eV. Very particular preference is given to selecting green emitters, preferably of the formulas (I) to (IX) or from Table 6, as described above, for the mixture according to the invention or emitting layer according to the invention. Fluorescent emitters can also be present in the light-emitting layer of the device according to the invention or in the mixture according to the invention. Preferred fluorescent emitting compounds are selected from the class of arylamines, wherein preferably at least one of the aromatic or heteroaromatic ring systems of the arylamine is a condensed ring system, particularly preferably having at least 14 ring atoms.Preferred examples are aromatic anthraceneamines, aromatic anthracenediamines, aromatic pyreneamines, aromatic pyrenediamines, aromatic chrysenamines, or aromatic chrysenediamines. An aromatic anthraceneamine is understood to be a compound in which one diarylamino group is bonded directly to an anthracene group, preferably in the 9-position. An aromatic anthracenediamine is understood to be a compound in which two diarylamino groups are bonded directly to an anthracene group, preferably in the 9,10-position. Aromatic pyreneamines, pyrenediamines, chrysenamines, and chrysenediamines are defined analogously, with the diarylamino groups on the pyrene preferably being bonded in the 1-position or 1,6-position. Further preferred emitting compounds are indenofluorenamines or diamines, benzoindenofluorenamines or diamines, and dibenzoindenofluorenamines or diamines, as well as indenofluorene derivatives with condensed aryl groups.Pyrene-arylamines are also preferred. Also preferred are benzoindenofluorene amines, benzofluorene amines, extended benzoindenofluorenes, phenoxazines, and fluorene derivatives linked to furan units or to thiophene units. Furthermore, the light-emitting device or the mixture according to the invention can also contain materials that exhibit TADF (thermally activated delayed fluorescence). In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the at least one light-emitting layer of the organic electroluminescent device can have three or four different matrix materials, preferably three different matrix materials.These corresponding mixed-matrix systems can consist of the matrix materials described for host material 1 and host material 2, but they can also contain, as a third or fourth matrix material, for example, in addition to host material 1 or host material 2, wide-band-gap materials, bipolar host materials, electron-transport materials (ETM), or hole-transport materials (HTM). The mixed-matrix system is preferably optimized for an emitter of one of the formulas (I) to (IX) or for an emitter from Table 6. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mixture contains no further constituents, i.e., functional materials, in addition to the constituents of the host material of formula (1) or formula (1A) and host material 2, as described above or preferably described. These are material mixtures that are used as such to produce the light-emitting layer.These mixtures are also referred to as premix systems, which are used as the sole material source during the vapor deposition of the host materials for the light-emitting layer and which have a constant mixing ratio during vapor deposition. This allows the vapor deposition of a layer with a uniform distribution of the components to be achieved in a simple and rapid manner, without the need for precise control of a large number of material sources. According to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the mixture contains, in addition to the constituents of the host material of formula (1) or formula (1A) and the host material 2, as described above or preferably described, a phosphorescent emitter as described above. With a suitable mixing ratio during vapor deposition, this mixture can also be used as the sole material source.Premix systems consisting of two matrix materials are preferred, namely a compound of the formulas (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11) or (12) and a compound of one of the formulas (HH-1), (HH-2), (HH-3), (HH-4), (HH-5) or (HH-6). Premix systems consisting of three matrix materials are preferred, namely a compound of (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11) or (12) and two compounds of one of the formulas (HH-1), (HH-2), (HH-3), (HH-4), (HH-5) or (HH-6). The components or constituents of the light-emitting layer of the device according to the invention can thus be processed by vapor deposition or from solution. The material combination of host materials 1 and 2, as described above or preferably described, optionally with the phosphorescent emitter, as described above or preferably described, is provided in a formulation containing at least one solvent. Suitable formulations have been described previously.The light-emitting layer in the device according to the invention according to the preferred embodiments and the emitting compound preferably contains between 99.9 and 1 vol.%, more preferably between 99 and 10 vol.%, particularly preferably between 98 and 60 vol.%, very particularly preferably between 97 and 80 vol.% of matrix material made of at least one compound of the formulas (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11) or (12) and at least one compound of one of the formulas (HH-1), (HH-2), (HH-3), (HH-4), (HH-5) or (HH-6) according to the preferred embodiments, based on the total composition of emitter and matrix material.

[0018] The sequence of layers in the organic electroluminescent device according to the invention is preferably as follows: anode / hole-injection layer / hole-transport layer / emitting layer / hole-blocking layer / electron-transport layer / electron-injection layer / cathode. This sequence of layers is a preferred sequence. It should be noted again that not all of the layers mentioned need to be present and / or that additional layers may be present. All materials used in the prior art as electron-transport materials in the electron-transport layer can be used as materials for the electron-transport layer.Particularly suitable are aluminum complexes, for example Alq3, zirconium complexes, for example Zrq4, benzimidazole derivatives, triazine derivatives, pyrimidine derivatives, pyridine derivatives, pyrazine derivatives, quinoxaline derivatives, quinoline derivatives, oxadiazole derivatives, aromatic ketones, lactams, boranes, diazaphosphole derivatives, and phosphine oxide derivatives. The present invention also relates to an organic electroluminescent device as described above or preferably described, wherein the organic layer contains an electron injection layer (EIL) and / or an electron transport layer (ETL) and / or a hole blocking layer, the electron-injecting material and electron-transporting material of which is selected from the compounds of formulas (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), or (12), as described above or preferably described.Furthermore, an electronic device, preferably an organic electroluminescent device, is preferred, which comprises one or more compounds according to the invention in one or more electron-transport layers in combination with a material having a high dielectric constant. Materials having a high dielectric constant include, for example, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal fluorides, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal oxides, alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonates, lanthanide compounds, or organic alkali metal complexes, with a combination of organic alkali metal complexes, preferably with lithium quinolate = LiQ, with a compound according to the invention being particularly preferred. Suitable materials having a high dielectric constant include, for example, LiF, Li2O, BaF2, MgO, NaF, CsF, Cs2CO3, Yb2O3, or lithium quinolate.The two different materials of the electron-transport layer can be present in a ratio of 1:50 to 50:1, preferably 1:10 to 10:1, particularly preferably 1:4 to 4:1, and most preferably 1:2 to 2:1. It is also possible to introduce an electron-injection layer between the electron-transport layer according to the invention and the cathode. Suitable materials for the electron-injection layer are, for example, LiF, lithium quinolinate, CsF, Cs2CO3, Li2O, LiBO2, K2SiO3, Cs2O, or Al2O3. Metals with a low work function, metal alloys, or multilayer structures made of different metals, such as alkaline earth metals, alkali metals, main group metals, or lanthanides (e.g., Ca, Ba, Mg, Al, In, Yb, Sm), are suitable as the cathode of the device according to the invention. Alloys made from an alkali or alkaline earth metal and silver are also suitable, for example an alloy made from magnesium and silver.In multilayer structures, in addition to the metals mentioned, other metals with a relatively high work function can be used, such as Ag or Al, in which case combinations of the metals, such as Ca / Ag, Mg / Ag, or Ba / Ag, are generally used. It may also be preferable to introduce a thin intermediate layer of a material with a high dielectric constant between a metallic cathode and the organic semiconductor. Examples of suitable materials for this include alkali metal or alkaline earth metal fluorides, but also the corresponding oxides or carbonates (e.g., LiF, Li2O, BaF2, MgO, NaF, CsF, Cs2CO3). Lithium quinolinate (LiQ) can also be used. The thickness of this layer is preferably between 0.5 and 5 nm. Materials with a high work function are preferred as the anode. The anode preferably has a work function greater than 4.5 eV vs. vacuum.On the one hand, metals with a high redox potential, such as Ag, Pt, or Au, are suitable for this purpose. On the other hand, metal / metal oxide electrodes (e.g., Al / Ni / NiO) can also be used. x , Al / PtO x) may be preferred. For some applications, at least one of the electrodes must be transparent or partially transparent in order to enable either the irradiation of the organic material (organic solar cell) or the coupling out of light (OLED, O-LASER). Preferred anode materials here are conductive mixed metal oxides. Particular preference is given to indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO). Also preferred are conductive, doped organic materials, in particular conductive doped polymers. Furthermore, the anode can also consist of several layers, for example an inner layer made of ITO and an outer layer made of a metal oxide, preferably tungsten oxide, molybdenum oxide or vanadium oxide.The organic electroluminescent device according to the invention is structured, contacted, and finally sealed during production (depending on the application), since the lifetime of the devices according to the invention is shortened in the presence of water and / or air. The production of the device according to the invention is not restricted by this. It is possible to coat one or more organic layers, including the light-emitting layer, using a sublimation process. The materials are heated in vacuum sublimation systems at an initial pressure of less than 10. -5 mbar, preferably less than 10 -6 mbar. However, it is also possible that the initial pressure is even lower, for example less than 10 -7mbar. The organic electroluminescent device according to the invention is preferably characterized in that one or more layers are coated using the OVPD (Organic Vapor Phase Deposition) method or by means of carrier gas sublimation. The materials are then sublimated at a pressure between 10 -5 -5mbar and 1 bar. A special case of this process is the OVJP (Organic Vapour Jet Printing) process, in which the materials are applied directly through a nozzle and thus structured (e.g. MS Arnold et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 2008, 92, 053301). Furthermore, the organic electroluminescent device according to the invention is preferably characterized in that one or more organic layers comprising the composition according to the invention are produced from solution, for example by spin coating, or using any printing process, such as screen printing, flexographic printing, nozzle printing or offset printing, but particularly preferably LITI (Light Induced Thermal Imaging, thermal transfer printing) or inkjet printing. This requires soluble host materials 1 and 2 and phosphorescent emitters. Processing from solution has the advantage that, for example, the light-emitting layer can be applied very easily and cost-effectively.This technique is particularly suitable for the mass production of organic electroluminescent devices. Hybrid processes are also possible, in which, for example, one or more layers are applied from solution and one or more additional layers are deposited by vapor deposition. These processes are generally known to those skilled in the art and can be applied to organic electroluminescent devices.The present invention therefore further provides a process for producing the organic electroluminescent device according to the invention, as described above or preferably described, characterized in that the organic layer, preferably the light-emitting layer, the hole injection layer and / or hole transport layer, is applied by vapor deposition, in particular using a sublimation process and / or an OVPD (Organic Vapor Phase Deposition) process and / or with the aid of carrier gas sublimation, or from solution, in particular by spin coating or using a printing process. When produced by vapor deposition, there are basically two ways in which the organic layer according to the invention, preferably the light-emitting layer, can be applied or vapor-deposited onto any desired substrate or the previous layer.On the one hand, the materials used can each be placed in a single material source and then evaporated from the different material sources ("co-evaporation"). On the other hand, the different materials can be premixed ("premixed systems") and the mixture placed in a single material source, from which it is then evaporated ("premix evaporation"). This allows for the simple and rapid deposition of the light-emitting layer with a uniform distribution of the components, without the need for precise control of a large number of material sources.The following methods are possible: A method for producing the organic electroluminescent device according to the invention, as described above or preferably described, characterized in that the organic layer, preferably the light-emitting layer, the electron transport layer and / or the hole blocking layer, is applied by vapor phase deposition, in particular with a sublimation method and / or with an OVPD (Organic Vapor Phase Deposition) method and / or with the aid of carrier gas sublimation, or from solution, in particular by spin coating or with a printing method.A method for producing the organic electroluminescent device according to the invention, as described above or preferably described, characterized in that the light-emitting layer of the organic layer is applied by gas phase deposition, wherein the at least one compound of the formulas (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11) or (12) together with the further materials which form the light-emitting layer are deposited successively or simultaneously from at least two material sources from the gas phase.A method for producing the device according to the invention, characterized in that the light-emitting layer of the organic layer is applied by vapor deposition, wherein the at least one compound of formulas (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), or (12) is deposited from the vapor phase together with at least one further matrix material as a premix, sequentially or simultaneously with the light-emitting materials selected from the group of phosphorescent emitters, fluorescent emitters, and / or emitters exhibiting TADF (thermally activated delayed fluorescence).

After neutralization with a NaOH solution (38 mL; 20%), the reaction mixture is treated with 150 mL of heptane, the precipitated solid is filtered, and ethanol. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The product shown above, in a mixture with portions of H / D isotopomers and H / D isotopologues, is precipitated under high vacuum (p = 5 x 10 -7mbar) (12 g, 75% of theory) purity 99.9%). The following compounds are prepared analogously: Production of the OLEDs The following comparative examples C1 to C7 and inventive examples E1 to E6 (see Tables 7 and 8) present the data for various OLEDs. Examples E1 to E6 show data for OLEDs according to the invention. The substrate for the OLEDs in Table 7 is glass flakes coated with structured ITO (indium tin oxide) with a thickness of 50 nm. The exact structure of the OLEDs can be found in Table 7. The materials required to produce the OLEDs are shown in Table 9, unless previously described. All materials are thermally vapor-deposited in a vacuum chamber. The emission layer always consists of at least one matrix material (also called host material) and an emitting dopant (dopant, emitter), which is admixed with the matrix material(s) in a specific volume fraction by co-evaporation.A specification such as eV2:hV1:TEG2 (32%:60%:8%) 40 nm means that the material eV2 is present in a volume fraction of 32% as host material 1, the compound hV1 as host material 2 in a fraction of 60%, and TEG2 in a fraction of 8% in a 40 nm thick layer. Analogously, the hole injection layer (HIL) and the electron transport layer (ETL), for example, can also consist of a mixture of two materials. OLEDs are characterized as standard. For this purpose, the electroluminescence spectra and current-voltage-luminance characteristics (IUL characteristics) are measured, from which the EQE is calculated. The calculation is performed assuming a Lambertian radiation characteristic. The electroluminescence spectra are determined at a luminance of 1000 cd / m². The value U10 in Table 8 refers to the voltage required for a current density of 10 mA / cm². EQE10 refers to the external quantum efficiency at a current density of 10 mA / cm².The lifetime LT is defined as the time after which the luminance drops from an initial luminance L0 (in cd / m²) to a certain proportion L1 (in cd / m²) when operated at a constant current density j0 in mA / cm². A value of L1 / L0 = 90% in Table 8 means that the lifetime specified in column LT corresponds to the time (in hours) after which the luminance drops to 90% of its initial value (L0). Use of mixtures according to the invention in OLEDs The compounds or material combinations according to the invention can be used in the emission layer in phosphorescent green OLEDs. The data for the various OLEDs are summarized in Table 8. Examples V1 to V7 are comparative examples according to the prior art, while examples E1 to E6 show data for OLEDs according to the invention. The examples according to the invention show, in particular, a clear advantage in the lifetime of the device. Table 7: Structure of the OLEDs.
