Description

Compound, organic electroluminescent element, and electronic device

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel compound, an organic electroluminescence element, and an electronic device.

[0002] When a voltage is applied to an organic electroluminescence element (hereinafter also referred to as an organic EL element), holes are injected from the anode and electrons are injected from the cathode into the light-emitting layer, where they recombine to form excitons.

[0003] Conventional organic EL elements have not yet achieved sufficient element performance. Although improvements to organic EL elements have been made gradually to enhance element performance, further improvements in performance are still required. Patent Document 1 discloses a compound having a specific structure for use in an organic EL element.

[0010] [Definitions] In this specification, hydrogen atoms include isotopes with different numbers of neutrons, namely protium, deuterium, and tritium.

[0011] In this specification, in a chemical structural formula, a hydrogen atom, that is, a protium atom, a deuterium atom, or a tritium atom is assumed to be bonded to a possible bonding position that is not explicitly marked with a symbol such as "R" or "D" representing a deuterium atom.

[0012] As used herein, the term "number of ring carbon atoms" refers to the number of carbon atoms among the atoms constituting the ring itself of a compound having a structure in which atoms are bonded in a ring (e.g., a monocyclic compound, a fused ring compound, a bridged compound, a carbocyclic compound, and a heterocyclic compound). When the ring is substituted with a substituent, the carbon atoms contained in the substituent are not included in the number of ring carbon atoms. The "number of ring carbon atoms" described below is the same unless otherwise specified. For example, a benzene ring has 6 ring carbon atoms, a naphthalene ring has 10 ring carbon atoms, a pyridine ring has 5 ring carbon atoms, and a furan ring has 4 ring carbon atoms. For example, a 9,9-diphenylfluorenyl group has 13 ring carbon atoms, and a 9,9'-spirobifluorenyl group has 25 ring carbon atoms. When a benzene ring is substituted with, for example, an alkyl group as a substituent, the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group is not included in the number of ring carbon atoms of the benzene ring. Therefore, the number of ring carbon atoms of a benzene ring substituted with an alkyl group is 6. Furthermore, when the naphthalene ring is substituted with, for example, an alkyl group as a substituent, the number of carbon atoms of the alkyl group is not included in the number of ring carbon atoms of the naphthalene ring. Therefore, the number of ring carbon atoms of the naphthalene ring substituted with an alkyl group is 10.

[0013] In this specification, the number of ring atoms refers to the number of atoms constituting the ring itself of a compound (e.g., a monocyclic compound, a fused ring compound, a bridged compound, a carbocyclic compound, and a heterocyclic compound) having a structure in which atoms are bonded in a ring (e.g., a monocyclic ring, a fused ring, and a ring assembly). Atoms that do not constitute the ring (e.g., hydrogen atoms terminating the bonds of atoms constituting the ring) and atoms contained in the substituent when the ring is substituted with a substituent are not included in the number of ring atoms. The "number of ring atoms" described below is the same unless otherwise specified. For example, the number of ring atoms of a pyridine ring is 6, the number of ring atoms of a quinazoline ring is 10, and the number of ring atoms of a furan ring is 5. For example, the number of hydrogen atoms or atoms constituting a substituent bonded to the pyridine ring is not included in the number of pyridine ring atoms. Therefore, the number of ring atoms of a pyridine ring to which a hydrogen atom or a substituent is bonded is 6. Furthermore, for example, hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms of the quinazoline ring or atoms constituting substituents are not included in the number of ring atoms of the quinazoline ring, so the number of ring atoms of a quinazoline ring to which a hydrogen atom or a substituent is bonded is 10.

[0014] In this specification, the "number of carbon atoms XX to YY" in the expression "substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group having carbon atoms XX to YY" represents the number of carbon atoms when the ZZ group is unsubstituted, and does not include the number of carbon atoms of the substituent when the ZZ group is substituted. Here, "YY" is larger than "XX", "XX" means an integer of 1 or more, and "YY" means an integer of 2 or more.

[0015] In this specification, the "number of atoms XX to YY" in the expression "substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group having number of atoms XX to YY" refers to the number of atoms when the ZZ group is unsubstituted, and does not include the number of atoms of substituents when the ZZ group is substituted. Here, "YY" is larger than "XX", "XX" means an integer of 1 or more, and "YY" means an integer of 2 or more.

[0016] In this specification, an unsubstituted ZZ group refers to the case where a "substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group" is an "unsubstituted ZZ group", and a substituted ZZ group refers to the case where a "substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group" is a "substituted ZZ group". In this specification, "unsubstituted" in the case of a "substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group" means that a hydrogen atom in the ZZ group is not replaced with a substituent. The hydrogen atom in the "unsubstituted ZZ group" is a protist atom, a deuterium atom, or a tritium atom. Furthermore, in this specification, "substituted" in the case of a "substituted or unsubstituted ZZ group" means that one or more hydrogen atoms in the ZZ group are replaced with a substituent. Similarly, "substituted" in the case of a "BB group substituted with an AA group" means that one or more hydrogen atoms in the BB group are replaced with an AA group.

[0096] "When bonded to form a ring" In this specification, when "one or more pairs of adjacent groups bond to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocycle, bond to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring, or do not bond to each other," it means when "one or more pairs of adjacent groups bond to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocycle," when "one or more pairs of adjacent groups bond to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring," and when "one or more pairs of adjacent groups do not bond to each other." In this specification, the cases when "one or more pairs of adjacent groups bond to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocycle" and "one or more pairs of adjacent groups bond to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring" (hereinafter, these cases may be collectively referred to as "when bonded to form a ring") will be explained below. An anthracene compound represented by the following general formula (TEMP-103), in which the main skeleton is an anthracene ring, will be described as an example.

[0097]

[0098] For example, R ９２１~R ９３０ In the case where "one or more pairs of adjacent two or more groups are bonded to each other to form a ring," the pair of adjacent two groups is R ９２１ and R ９２２ With the pair, R ９２２ and R ９２３ With the pair, R ９２３ and R ９２４ With the pair, R ９２４ and R ９３０ With the pair, R ９３０ and R ９２５ With the pair, R ９２５ and R ９２６ With the pair, R ９２６ and R ９２７ With the pair, R ９２７ and R ９２８ With the pair, R ９２８ and R ９２９ and R ９２９ and R ９２１ It is paired with.

[0099] The above-mentioned "one or more pairs" means that two or more pairs of adjacent two or more groups may simultaneously form a ring. For example, R ９２１ and R ９２２ and are bonded to each other to form ring Q Ａ and simultaneously form R ９２５ and R ９２６ and are bonded to each other to form ring Q Ｂ When the anthracene compound represented by the general formula (TEMP-103) is formed, the anthracene compound represented by the general formula (TEMP-104) is represented by the following general formula (TEMP-104).

[0100]

[0101] The case where a "set of two or more adjacent groups" forms a ring includes not only the case where a set of "two" adjacent groups is bonded as in the above example, but also the case where a set of "three or more" adjacent groups is bonded. For example, R ９２１ and R ９２２ and are bonded to each other to form ring Q Ａ and R ９２２ and R ９２３ and are bonded to each other to form ring Q Ｃ and three adjacent (R ９２１ , R ９２２ and R９２３ In this case, the anthracene compound represented by the general formula (TEMP-103) is represented by the following general formula (TEMP-105): Ａ and Ring Q Ｃ is R ９２２ Share.

[0102]

[0103] The "monocyclic ring" or "fused ring" formed may be a saturated ring or an unsaturated ring as the structure of only the formed ring. Even when "one pair of adjacent two" forms a "monocyclic ring" or a "fused ring", the "monocyclic ring" or the "fused ring" may form a saturated ring or an unsaturated ring. For example, in the case of the ring Q formed in the general formula (TEMP-104), Ａ and Ring Q Ｂ are "monocyclic rings" or "fused rings". Ａ , and ring Q Ｃ is a "fused ring". Ａ and Tamaki Q Ｃ That is, Ring Q Ａ and Tamaki Q Ｃ The ring Q in the general formula (TMEP-104) is fused to form a fused ring. Ａ is a benzene ring, then ring Q Ａ The ring Q in the general formula (TMEP-104) is a monocyclic ring. Ａ is a naphthalene ring, then ring Q Ａ is a fused ring.

[0104] "Unsaturated rings" include aromatic hydrocarbon rings and aromatic heterocycles, as well as aliphatic hydrocarbon rings having an unsaturated bond, i.e., a double bond and / or a triple bond, in the ring structure (e.g., cyclohexene, cyclohexadiene, etc.), and non-aromatic heterocycles having an unsaturated bond (e.g., dihydropyran, imidazoline, pyrazoline, quinolizine, indoline, isoindoline, etc.). "Saturated rings" include aliphatic hydrocarbon rings having no unsaturated bonds, or non-aromatic heterocycles having no unsaturated bonds. Specific examples of aromatic hydrocarbon rings include structures in which the groups listed as specific examples in Specific Example Group G1 are terminated with a hydrogen atom. Specific examples of aromatic heterocycles include structures in which the aromatic heterocyclic groups listed as specific examples in Specific Example Group G2 are terminated with a hydrogen atom. Specific examples of aliphatic hydrocarbon rings include structures in which the groups listed as specific examples in Specific Example Group G6 are terminated with a hydrogen atom. "Forming a ring" means forming a ring with only multiple atoms of the parent skeleton, or with multiple atoms of the parent skeleton and one or more optional atoms. For example, R ９２１ and R ９２２ and a ring Q formed by bonding together Ａ is R ９２１ and the carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R ９２２ It means a ring formed by the carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R is bonded and one or more arbitrary atoms. ９２１ and R ９２２ Todekan Q Ａ In the case where R ９２１ and the carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R ９２２ When a monocyclic unsaturated ring is formed by the carbon atom of the anthracene skeleton to which R is bonded and four carbon atoms, R ９２１ and R ９２２ The ring formed by

[0105] Here, unless otherwise specified herein, the "any atom" is preferably at least one atom selected from the group consisting of carbon atoms, nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, and sulfur atoms. In any atom (for example, in the case of a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom), a bond that does not form a ring may be terminated with a hydrogen atom or the like, or may be substituted with an "any substituent" described below. When any atom other than a carbon atom is included, the formed ring is a heterocycle. Unless otherwise specified herein, the "one or more any atoms" constituting the monocycle or fused ring are preferably 2 to 15, more preferably 3 to 12, and even more preferably 3 to 5. Unless otherwise specified herein, of the "monocycle" and the "fused ring," the "monocycle" is preferred. Unless otherwise specified herein, of the "saturated ring" and the "unsaturated ring," the "unsaturated ring" is preferred. Unless otherwise specified herein, the "monocycle" is preferably a benzene ring. Unless otherwise specified herein, the "unsaturated ring" is preferably a benzene ring. When "one or more pairs of adjacent two or more rings" "combine with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic ring" or "combine with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring," unless otherwise specified in this specification, preferably, one or more pairs of adjacent two or more rings combine with each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted "unsaturated ring" consisting of a plurality of atoms of the parent skeleton and at least one atom selected from the group consisting of 1 to 15 carbon atoms, nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, and sulfur atoms.

[0106] When the above-mentioned "monocyclic ring" or "fused ring" has a substituent, the substituent is, for example, the "optional substituent" described below. When the above-mentioned "monocyclic ring" or "fused ring" has a substituent, specific examples of the substituent are the substituents described in the above section "Substituents Described Herein." When the above-mentioned "saturated ring" or "unsaturated ring" has a substituent, the substituent is, for example, the "optional substituent" described below. When the above-mentioned "monocyclic ring" or "fused ring" has a substituent, specific examples of the substituent are the substituents described in the above section "Substituents Described Herein." The above is an explanation of the case where "one or more pairs of adjacent two or more rings are bonded to form a substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic ring" and the case where "one or more pairs of adjacent two or more rings are bonded to form a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring" ("when bonded to form a ring").

[0108] In one embodiment, the substituent in the "substituted or unsubstituted" is a group selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 50 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 50 ring carbon atoms, and a heterocyclic group having 5 to 50 ring atoms.

[0109] In one embodiment, the substituent in the "substituted or unsubstituted" is a group selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 18 ring carbon atoms, and a heterocyclic group having 5 to 18 ring atoms.

[0110] Specific examples of each group of the above optional substituents are the specific examples of the substituents described above in the section "Substituents described in this specification."

[0111] Unless otherwise specified in this specification, adjacent optional substituents may form a "saturated ring" or an "unsaturated ring", preferably a substituted or unsubstituted saturated 5-membered ring, a substituted or unsubstituted saturated 6-membered ring, a substituted or unsubstituted unsaturated 5-membered ring, or a substituted or unsubstituted unsaturated 6-membered ring, more preferably a benzene ring. Unless otherwise specified in this specification, any optional substituent may further have a substituent. The substituents further possessed by the optional substituent are the same as those of the optional substituents described above.

[0113] [Novel Compound] A compound according to one aspect of the present invention includes a structure represented by the following formula (S1) and a structure represented by the following formula (S2). [In formula (S1), X １ is a single bond, O, or S.

[0114] When the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention is used in an organic layer of an organic EL device, the device performance can be improved. Specifically, an organic EL device having a low driving voltage and a long life can be realized.

[0115] A compound according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a specific nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure represented by formula (S1) and a benzanthracene structure, and it is believed that the above-described effects can be achieved by employing such a structure. Although the reason for the above-described effects is not entirely clear, combining the specific nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure represented by formula (S1) with the benzanthracene structure makes it possible to resolve the problem of high driving voltage that has traditionally been a concern with compounds having a benzanthracene structure. Furthermore, the high electron-donating ability of the nitrogen atom is thought to improve hole injection into the light-emitting layer, thereby contributing to a further reduction in driving voltage. Similarly, although not entirely clear, it is believed that the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure has increased molecular rigidity compared to, for example, a conventional phenylcarbazole structure, thereby suppressing molecular motion and contributing to a longer lifetime.

[0116] The structure represented by formula (S1) and the structure represented by formula (S2) may each independently have a substituent or may be unsubstituted. The substituent will be described later. A substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic or fused ring may be fused to the structure represented by formula (S1).

[0117] The phrase "a compound comprising a structure represented by formula (S1) and a structure represented by formula (S2)" means that the compound comprises both a structure represented by formula (S1) and a structure represented by formula (S2) as parts of the molecule. For example, the compound may comprise a structure represented by formula (S1) and a structure represented by formula (S2) as moieties within a single molecule. Similarly, the compound may comprise a moiety comprising a structure represented by formula (S1) and a moiety comprising a structure represented by formula (S2) within a single molecule.

[0118] In the compound according to one embodiment of the present invention, atoms constituting the structure represented by Formula (S1) (excluding atoms of substituents) and atoms constituting the structure represented by Formula (S2) (excluding atoms of substituents) are not shared. Furthermore, the structure represented by Formula (S1) and the structure represented by Formula (S2) are not fused via one or more single rings or fused rings to form a fused ring containing both the structure represented by Formula (S1) and the structure represented by Formula (S2).

[0119] For example, compounds of the following formulae (E1) and (E2), in which a structure represented by formula (S1) and a structure represented by formula (S2) are fused together by sharing two or more carbon atoms, are not included in the compounds according to one embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, compounds of the following formulae (E3), in which a structure represented by formula (S1) and a structure represented by formula (S2) share a benzene ring, are not included in the compounds according to one embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, compounds of the following formulae (E4) and (E5), in which a structure represented by formula (S1) and a structure represented by formula (S2) are fused together via a benzene ring, are not included in the compounds according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0120] A compound including a structure represented by formula (S1) and a structure represented by formula (S2) is composed of a structure represented by formula (S1), a structure represented by formula (S2), and a single bond or one or more linking groups. For example, a compound such as the following formula (E6), in which the structure represented by formula (S1) and the structure represented by formula (S2) are linked by a phenylene group, is included in the compounds according to one embodiment of the present invention.
