Description

Compound, light-emitting material, delayed phosphor, organic light-emitting element, oxygen sensor, method for designing molecule, and program
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a compound useful as a light-emitting material and an organic light-emitting element using the same. The present invention also relates to an oxygen sensor using the compound. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method and a program for designing a molecule.
Background
Studies are actively being made to improve the light emission efficiency of organic light emitting elements such as organic electroluminescent elements (organic EL elements). In particular, many efforts have been made to improve the light emission efficiency by newly developing and combining an electron transport material, a hole transport material, a light emitting material, and the like that constitute an organic electroluminescent element. Among them, studies have been also found on an organic electroluminescent element using a compound having a donor group and an acceptor group (a D-a type compound) as a light-emitting material.
For example, non-patent document 1 reports that a compound represented by the following formula is used in an organic EL element in a light-emitting material. In the following formulae, the diphenyltriazinyl group corresponds to an acceptor group, and the group represented by R corresponds to a donor group. Further, non-patent document 1 shows that when a compound in which R is a phenothiazinyl group is used, external quantum efficiency of 10% is achieved.

Disclosure of Invention
Technical problem to be solved by the invention
As described above, non-patent document 1 describes that a compound having a structure in which the 4-position and the 5-position of 9, 9-dimethylxanthene (the ortho position of each benzene ring with respect to the oxygen group) are substituted with a donor group and an acceptor group, respectively, is used as a light-emitting material for an organic EL element. However, the external quantum efficiency achieved by using these compounds is at most 10%, which cannot be said to be very satisfactory. Further, many compounds proposed as light-emitting materials include the above compounds, and their luminous efficiency is lowered in a high current density region, and further improvement of characteristics is required for realizing practical organic EL devices.
In contrast, the present inventors have conducted studies on a group of compounds of a-D type having a core skeleton of a condensed polycyclic structure having a structure in which benzene rings are condensed on both sides of one ring (central ring), and synthesized compounds by variously changing the structure of the core skeleton or the substitution positions of a donor group and an acceptor group in the core skeleton, and evaluated the characteristics thereof, and have found for the first time that a group of compounds having a structure in which a substituted or unsubstituted methylene group is provided on the ring at the center of the core skeleton and the donor group and the acceptor group are substituted on the benzene rings at both sides thereof at the positions ortho to the methylene group exhibits high luminous efficiency and is effective as a light-emitting material, and have decided to conduct further studies. As described above, non-patent document 1 describes that a D-a type compound having 9, 9-dimethylxanthene as a core skeleton is used for a light-emitting material. However, the compounds described in non-patent document 1 all have donor groups and acceptor groups at the 4-and 5-positions (ortho positions to the oxy group on the benzene rings) of 9, 9-dimethylxanthene, and non-patent document 1 does not describe any compound in which donor groups and acceptor groups are introduced at other positions. Therefore, from non-patent document 1, it is difficult to predict that a compound having a structure in which a substituted or unsubstituted methylene group is present in the central ring of the core skeleton and a donor group or an acceptor group is substituted in the ortho position to the methylene group of the benzene rings on both sides thereof, exhibits high luminous efficiency.
Under such circumstances, the present inventors have further studied the effectiveness of a compound having a structure in which a substituted or unsubstituted methylene group is provided in the central ring of the core skeleton and a donor group and an acceptor group are substituted in the ortho position to the methylene group of the benzene rings on both sides thereof, as a light-emitting material, and have repeatedly studied aiming at finding a compound having excellent light-emitting characteristics. Further, intensive studies have been made for the purpose of deriving a general formula of a compound useful as a light-emitting material and popularizing the structure of an organic light-emitting element having high light-emitting efficiency.
Means for solving the technical problem
As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that a compound in which the local excited triplet level E (3LE), the charge transfer type lowest excited singlet level E (1CT), and the charge transfer type lowest excited triplet level E (3CT) satisfy a specific relationship has excellent properties as a light-emitting material. Further, it has been found that such a compound group contains a compound useful as a delayed fluorescence material, and it has been found that an organic light-emitting element having high emission efficiency can be provided at low cost.

Detailed Description

The following description of the constituent elements may be based on a representative embodiment or specific example of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment or specific example. In the present specification, the numerical range expressed by the term "to" means a range including the numerical values described before and after the term "to" as the lower limit value and the upper limit value. And, used in the present inventionThe isotope type of hydrogen atoms in the molecule of the compound is not particularly limited, and for example, all hydrogen atoms in the molecule may be hydrogen atoms1H may be partially or wholly represented by2H (deuterium) D).
[ Compound and molecular design method of the present invention defined by energy level ]
The compounds of the invention are the following: the local excited triplet level E (3LE), the charge transfer type lowest excited singlet level E (1CT), and the charge transfer type lowest excited triplet level E (3CT) are within an energy width of 0.3eV in each individual compound.
The compound of the present invention is characterized in that the 3 levels are within 0.3eV when the compound is present alone. When the compound is in a solution state in which the compound is dissolved in a solvent, the charge transfer type lowest excited singlet level E (1CT) and the charge transfer type lowest excited triplet level E (3CT) are relatively greatly changed by the solvent. When the host material is present in a mixed state, the host material relatively greatly fluctuates. The compound of the present invention has a local excited triplet level E (3LE), a charge-transfer lowest excited singlet level E (1CT), and a charge-transfer lowest excited triplet level E (3CT) within an energy width range of 0.3eV in the absence of such other materials as a solvent and a host material.
The compound in which 3 energy levels are limited to the energy width range of 0.3eV in the absence of other materials such as a solvent and a host material can be provided by controlling the positional relationship of the structure of the donor group and the acceptor group present in the compound. Regarding such a structural positional relationship, it is possible to provide by the molecular design method of the present invention, and it is possible to design a compound having a specific structure by this method.
The method for designing a molecule of the present invention is a method for designing a molecule having a donor group and an acceptor group, wherein the distance between the donor group and the acceptor group is determined so that each of a local excited triplet level E (3LE), a charge-transporting lowest excited singlet level E (1CT) and a charge-transporting lowest excited triplet level E (3CT) is within an energy width of 0.3eV, and the donor group and the acceptor group are structurally fixed so as not to vary the distance. The local excited triplet level E (3LE), the charge transfer type lowest excited singlet level E (1CT), and the charge transfer type lowest excited triplet level E (3CT) can be determined by calculation. For the calculation, an optimized structure based on DFT (Density Functional Theory) was employed and can be performed by LC- ω PBE method (Sun, H.; Zhong, C.; Bredas, J.L.J.chem.Theory.Comp.2015, 11,3851).
In carrying out the molecular design method of the present invention, the measured value can also be used as the energy level. As described later, the charge transfer type lowest excited singlet level E (1CT) and the charge transfer type lowest excited triplet level E (3CT) are obtained by measuring a fluorescence spectrum and a phosphorescence spectrum, respectively. The local excited triplet level E (3LE) is obtained by measuring the transient attenuation spectrum while changing the temperature, determining the activation energy for intersystem crossing and the activation energy for reverse intersystem crossing between the excited singlet state and the triplet state, and calculating in consideration of E (1CT) and E (3 CT). When there is a difference between the actually measured value of the energy level of the compound actually present and the calculated energy level of the compound, the accuracy of calculation of the energy level of the designed molecule can be improved by correcting the calculated value of the other molecular structure based on the difference. The calculation or correction of the molecular design method of the present invention can be performed by setting a program in advance and executing the program. The program may be stored in a recording medium and stored/used or operated by a computer. Also, design accuracy can be improved in combination with artificial intelligence or by using a deep learning function.
Examples of the compound of the present invention in which the local excited triplet level E (3LE), the charge transfer type lowest excited singlet level E (1CT), and the charge transfer type lowest excited triplet level E (3CT) are within the energy width of 0.3eV in each of the individual compounds include the compounds of the examples described below and the compounds represented by the general formula (1).
The compounds of the present invention are preferably compounds that structurally immobilize the donor and acceptor groups. When the distance between the donor group and the acceptor group is increased, the charge transfer type lowest excited singlet level E (1CT) and the charge transfer type lowest excited triplet level E (3CT) tend to be increased. On the other hand, the local excited triplet level E (3LE) is hardly affected by the distance between the donor group and the acceptor group. Thus, it is desirable that the donor group and the acceptor group be present at an appropriate distance and that the distance be maintained. Thus, the compounds of the present invention preferably structurally fix the donor and acceptor groups in place.
In order to form a structurally fixed state, the donor group and the acceptor group are preferably bonded to or embedded in a structurally invariant backbone structure. The skeletal structure described herein is preferably a structurally invariant ring structure. The term "unchanged structure" as used herein means that the position of a skeleton-constituting atom (relative position to other skeleton-constituting atoms) cannot be changed unless a covalent bond is cleaved. Examples of the skeleton include a bicyclic skeleton, tricyclic skeleton, and cage skeleton, all of which have no structural change. Examples of the structure in which the donor group and the acceptor group are embedded in the skeleton structure include a structure in which a partial skeleton structure 1(S1), a donor group (D), a partial skeleton structure 2(S2), and an acceptor group (a) are connected in a cyclic form as described below to fix the positional relationship between the donor group and the acceptor group in the molecule.

In addition, with regard to the explanation and specific examples of the donor group and the acceptor group of the compound of the present invention, reference can be made to the explanation and specific examples of the donor group and the acceptor group in the explanation of the general formula (1) described later.
The donor group and the acceptor group of the compound of the present invention preferably each have an aromatic ring (including both aromatic rings and heteroaromatic rings).

The compound represented by the general formula (1) may be a compound composed of only carbon atoms, nitrogen atoms, and hydrogen atoms. For example, if the compound contains an atom such as a fluorine atom, a phosphorus atom, or a sulfur atom which is likely to generate polarity in the molecule, the solubility of the compound in an organic solvent may be low, but if the compound is composed of only a carbon atom, a nitrogen atom, and a hydrogen atom, the compound may exhibit good solubility in an organic solvent, and a film of the compound may be more easily formed by a coating method.

The lowest excited singlet level S1 and the lowest excited triplet level T1 can be measured by the following methods, respectively.
(1) Lowest excited singlet energy level S1
A compound to be measured was deposited on an Si substrate to prepare a sample, and the fluorescence spectrum of the sample was measured at room temperature (300K). In the fluorescence spectrum, the vertical axis represents light emission, and the horizontal axis represents wavelength. A tangent is drawn to the fall of the emission spectrum on the short-wave side, and the wavelength value λ edge [ nm ] of the intersection of the tangent and the horizontal axis is determined. The wavelength value is converted into an energy value by a conversion equation shown below, and the obtained value is designated as S1.
Conversion formula: s1[ eV ] ═ 1239.85/λ edge
For the measurement of the luminescence spectrum, a nitrogen laser (LTB Lasertechnik Berlin GmbH, MNL200) was used as an excitation light source and a strip camera (Hamamatsu Photonics k.k. C4334) was used as a detector.
(2) Lowest excited triplet energy level T1
The sample having the same singlet energy S1 was cooled to 77[ K ], excitation light (337nm) was irradiated to the phosphorescence measurement sample, and the phosphorescence intensity was measured using a streak camera. A tangent is drawn to the rise on the short-wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum, and the wavelength value λ edge [ nm ] of the intersection of the tangent and the horizontal axis is obtained. The wavelength value was converted into an energy value by a conversion equation shown below, and the obtained value was taken as T1.
Conversion formula: t1[ eV ] ═ 1239.85/λ edge
The tangent to the rise on the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum is drawn as follows. Consider a tangent line at each point on a curve toward the long wavelength side when moving from the short wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum to the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side of the maximum values of the spectrum on the spectral curve. As the curve rises (i.e., as the vertical axis increases), the slope of the tangent line increases. The tangent drawn at the point where the slope value has the maximum value is defined as the tangent to the increase on the short-wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum.
In addition, the maximum point having a peak intensity of 10% or less of the maximum peak intensity of the spectrum does not include the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side, and a tangent drawn at a point closest to the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side and having a maximum slope value is defined as a tangent to an increase on the shortest wavelength side of the phosphorescence spectrum.

[ organic light-emitting element ]
The compound represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention has excellent light-emitting characteristics, and is therefore useful as a light-emitting material for an organic light-emitting element. The compound represented by the general formula (1) contains a delayed fluorescent material (delayed phosphor) that emits delayed fluorescence. That is, the present application also discloses an invention of a delayed phosphor having a structure represented by general formula (1), an invention using a compound represented by general formula (1) as a delayed phosphor, and an invention of a method for emitting delayed fluorescence using a compound represented by general formula (1). According to the present invention, the necessity of dihedral angle control of donor and acceptor groups for designing molecules emitting delayed fluorescence is greatly reduced.
An organic light-emitting element using a compound that emits delayed fluorescence as a light-emitting material has characteristics in that delayed fluorescence is emitted, the light-emitting efficiency is high, and non-radiative deactivation can be suppressed. The principle of the organic electroluminescence device will be described below by way of example.
In an organic electroluminescent element, carriers are injected from both positive and negative electrodes into a light-emitting material, and the light-emitting material in an excited state is generated to emit light. In general, in the case of a carrier injection type organic electroluminescent element, 25% of generated excitons are excited to an excited singlet state and the remaining 75% are excited to an excited triplet state. Therefore, phosphorescence, which is light emission from an excited triplet state, is utilized, and the energy utilization efficiency is higher. However, since the excited triplet state has a long lifetime, energy deactivation due to saturation of the excited state or interaction with an exciton of the excited triplet state occurs, and generally, the quantum yield of phosphorescence is not high in many cases. On the other hand, the delayed fluorescent material transfers energy to an excited triplet state by intersystem crossing or the like, and then, the delayed fluorescent material reversely crosses to an excited singlet state by triplet-triplet annihilation or absorption of thermal energy, and emits fluorescence. Among organic electroluminescent elements, a thermally activated delayed fluorescent material based on absorption of thermal energy is considered to be particularly useful. In the case where a delayed fluorescence material is used for the organic electroluminescent element, excitons that excite a singlet state emit fluorescence as usual. On the other hand, excitons that excite the triplet state absorb heat emitted from the device and cross-over to the excited singlet state, emitting fluorescence. At this time, since the fluorescence is emitted from the excited singlet state, the fluorescence is emitted at the same wavelength, and the lifetime (emission lifetime) of the generated light is longer than that of the normal fluorescence by the transition from the excited triplet state reverse system to the excited singlet state, and thus the fluorescence is observed as fluorescence delayed from the above. This can be defined as delayed fluorescence. When such a thermally activated reverse intersystem crossing mechanism is used, the ratio of a compound that normally generates only 25% of an excited singlet state can be increased to 25% or more by absorption of thermal energy after carrier injection. When a compound which emits strong fluorescence and delayed fluorescence even at a relatively low temperature of less than 100 ℃ is used, the cross-over from the excited triplet state to the excited singlet state occurs sufficiently by the heat of the device, and delayed fluorescence is emitted, so that the light emission efficiency can be dramatically improved, and the non-radiative deactivation can be suppressed.
The compound represented by the general formula (1) is an excellent light-emitting material capable of emitting delayed fluorescence because the molecule is designed to control the distance between the donor group and the acceptor group within a desired range. The compound represented by the general formula (1) has a structure in which a donor group and an acceptor group are bonded at a specific position of a condensed polycyclic structure, and thus the distance between the donor group and the acceptor group is naturally controlled within a specific range. In particular, in the general formula (1) R7And L each otherBonded to form a cyclic structure or R8And L are bonded to each other to form a cyclic structure, the condensed polycyclic structure becomes a more rigid structure, and thus the distance between the donor group and the acceptor group is substantially fixed. For example, in the case of compounds in which the donor group and the acceptor group of compounds 1 to 5 are bonded to a Triptycene (Triptycene) skeleton, the distance between the donor group and the acceptor group is 4.718 angstroms in an optimized structure calculated based on dft (sensitivity Functional theory).
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the respective distributions of HOMO and LUMO of Compound 1 calculated by the LC- ω PBE/6-31+ G (d) method. The compound represented by the general formula (1) substantially shows the same HOMO and LUMO distributions as those in fig. 1, and the HOMO and LUMO are roughly classified into a donor group D and an acceptor group a, respectively. The fused polycyclic structure of the bond of the donor group D and the acceptor group A does not substantially affect the HOMO, LUMO. Thus, the condensed polycyclic structure functions to dispose the donor group D and the acceptor group A at an appropriate distance, characterized in that the distance is a distance favorable for delaying fluorescence emission. Thus, the present invention provides for the first time the following concepts: the molecules are designed to control the distance between the donor group and the acceptor group within a range favorable for delayed fluorescence emission, thereby providing excellent delayed fluorescence materials. The distance between the donor group and the acceptor group is preferably 3.00 to 5.50 angstroms, more preferably 4.00 to 5.00 angstroms, and further preferably 4.50 to 4.72 angstroms. For example, the distance between the donor group and the acceptor group may be selected from the range of 4.40 to 4.80 angstroms, or from the range of 4.45 to 4.75 angstroms, or from the range of 4.60 to 4.72 angstroms. Also, the condensed polycyclic structure in which the donor group and the acceptor group are bonded particularly preferably contains a linking moiety that blocks the conjugated system in the shortest linking chain that links the donor group and the acceptor group. In the general formula (1), -C (R)7)(R8) The moiety becomes a linking moiety that blocks the conjugated system. As one mode of the concept of the present invention configured to separate a donor group and an acceptor group by an appropriate distance by a condensed polycyclic structure including such a linking moiety blocking a conjugated system, a compound represented by general formula (1) is provided. According to the concept of the present invention, it is designed to arrange the distance between the donor group and the acceptor groupMolecules within the above preferred range, which are compounds having structures other than general formula (1), can further provide an excellent delayed fluorescent material.
In addition, the "distance between the donor group and the acceptor group" as used herein refers to a straight-line distance between an atom having a linkage of the donor group and an atom having a linkage of the acceptor group. For example, as long as the compound represented by the general formula (1) is a linear distance between an atom which is a constituent atom of the donor group D and has a linking bond for bonding to the condensed polycyclic structure and an atom which is a constituent atom of the acceptor group a and has a linking bond for bonding to the condensed polycyclic structure.
The compound represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention can be formed into a film by a vacuum deposition method or a coating method, and has a relatively high glass transition temperature (Tg), so that it has high thermal stability and is excellent in practical use. Therefore, by using the compound as a material for an organic light-emitting element, an organic film formed of the compound can be efficiently coated with a uniform film thickness without using a large-scale film formation apparatus, and therefore, the production efficiency of the organic light-emitting element can be remarkably improved. In the compound represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention, the molecular structure serving as the basic skeleton is fixed, and Δ E can be suppressed even in an amorphous filmSTThe degree of freedom in design is large. Further, the organic light-emitting element containing the compound can obtain stable light-emitting performance even under a high-temperature environment, and can be effectively used as a display element of a car navigation system, for example. The compound represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention may contain a structure having circular polarization such as triptycene, and is therefore expected to be used as a circular polarizing plate.
By using the compound represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention as a light-emitting material of a light-emitting layer, an excellent organic light-emitting element such as an organic photoluminescent element (organic PL element) or an organic electroluminescent element (organic EL element) can be provided. In this case, the compound represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention may be a compound having a function of assisting light emission of another light-emitting material included in the light-emitting layer as a so-called assist dopant. That is, the compound represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention contained in the light-emitting layer may be a compound having a lowest excited singlet energy level between the lowest excited singlet energy level of the host material contained in the light-emitting layer and the lowest excited singlet energy level of the other light-emitting material contained in the light-emitting layer.
The organic photoluminescent element has a structure in which at least a light-emitting layer is formed on a substrate. The organic electroluminescent element has at least an anode, a cathode, and an organic layer formed between the anode and the cathode. The organic layer may be composed of only the light-emitting layer, including at least the light-emitting layer, or may have 1 or more organic layers other than the light-emitting layer. Examples of such other organic layers include a hole transport layer, a hole injection layer, an electron blocking layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, and an exciton blocking layer. The hole transport layer may be a hole injection transport layer having a hole injection function, and the electron transport layer may be an electron injection transport layer having an electron injection function. Fig. 2 shows an example of a specific structure of the organic electroluminescent element. In fig. 2, 1 denotes a substrate, 2 denotes an anode, 3 denotes a hole injection layer, 4 denotes a hole transport layer, 5 denotes a light emitting layer, 6 denotes an electron transport layer, and 7 denotes a cathode.
The components and layers of the organic electroluminescent element will be described below. The description of the substrate and the light-emitting layer also corresponds to the substrate and the light-emitting layer of the organic photoluminescent element.
(substrate)
The organic electroluminescent element of the present invention is preferably supported by a substrate. The substrate is not particularly limited as long as it is a substrate conventionally used in organic electroluminescent devices, and for example, a substrate made of glass, transparent plastic, quartz, silicon, or the like can be used.
(Anode)
As the anode of the organic electroluminescent element, an anode using a metal, an alloy, a conductive compound, or a mixture thereof having a large work function (4eV or more) as an electrode material can be preferably used. Specific examples of such electrode materials include metals such as AuCuI, Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), SnO2And conductive transparent materials such as ZnO. Also, IDIXO (In) may be used2O3-ZnO) and the like, and can be used for producing a transparent conductive film. The anode may be formed by forming these electrode materials into a thin film by a method such as vapor deposition or sputtering and forming a pattern of a desired shape by photolithography, or may be formed into a pattern through a mask of a desired shape when the accuracy of the pattern is not high (about 100 μm or more). Alternatively, when a material that can be applied such as an organic conductive compound is used, a wet film formation method such as a printing method or a coating method can be used. When light emission is extracted from the anode, the transmittance is preferably set to be higher than 10%, and the sheet resistance of the anode is preferably several hundred Ω/sq. The film thickness depends on the material, and is usually selected within the range of 10 to 1000nm, preferably 10 to 200 nm.
(cathode)
On the other hand, as the cathode, a metal having a small work function (4eV or less) (referred to as an electron-injecting metal), an alloy, a conductive compound, or a mixture thereof can be used as an electrode material. Specific examples of such electrode materials include sodium, sodium-potassium alloys, magnesium, lithium, magnesium/copper mixtures, magnesium/silver mixtures, magnesium/aluminum mixtures, magnesium/indium mixtures, and aluminum/aluminum oxide (Al)2O3) Mixtures, indium, lithium/aluminum mixtures, rare earth metals, and the like. Among them, from the viewpoint of electron injection property and durability against oxidation and the like, a mixture of an electron-injecting metal and a second metal which is a metal having a larger and more stable work function than the electron-injecting metal is preferable, and examples thereof include a magnesium/silver mixture, a magnesium/aluminum mixture, a magnesium/indium mixture, and aluminum/aluminum oxide (Al)2O3) Mixtures, lithium/aluminum mixtures, aluminum, and the like. The cathode can be produced by forming these electrode materials into a thin film by a method such as vapor deposition or sputtering. The sheet resistance of the cathode is preferably several hundred Ω/sq (ohms per square) or less, and the film thickness is usually selected in the range of 10nm to 5 μm, preferably 50 to 200 nm. In addition, theIt is preferable that either the anode or the cathode of the organic electroluminescent element is transparent or translucent in order to transmit the emitted light, since the emission luminance is improved.
Further, by using the conductive transparent material mentioned in the description of the anode for the cathode, a transparent or translucent cathode can be produced, and by applying the cathode, two elements having transparency, that is, the anode and the cathode, can be produced.
(luminescent layer)
The light-emitting layer is a layer which emits light after excitons are generated by recombination of holes and electrons injected from the anode and the cathode, and a light-emitting material alone may be used for the light-emitting layer. As the light-emitting material, 1 or 2 or more selected from the group of compounds of the present invention represented by general formula (1) can be used. In order to achieve high luminous efficiency in the organic electroluminescent device and the organic photoluminescent device of the present invention, it is important to enclose singlet excitons and triplet excitons generated in the light-emitting material. Therefore, it is preferable to use a host material in addition to the light-emitting material in the light-emitting layer. As the host material, an organic compound having at least one value higher than the excited singlet energy or the excited triplet energy of the light-emitting material of the present invention can be used. As a result, the singlet excitons and the triplet excitons generated in the light-emitting material of the present invention can be encapsulated in the molecules of the light-emitting material of the present invention, and the light-emitting efficiency can be sufficiently exhibited. Of course, since high light emission efficiency can be obtained even if singlet excitons and triplet excitons cannot be sufficiently confined, the present invention can be used without particular limitation as long as the host material can achieve high light emission efficiency. In the organic light-emitting element or the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention, light emission is generated by the light-emitting material of the present invention contained in the light-emitting layer. The luminescence includes both fluorescence and delayed fluorescence. Here, part or part of the light emission may have light emission from the host material.
In the case of using a host material, the compound of the present invention as a light-emitting material is contained in the light-emitting layer in an amount of preferably 0.1% by volume or more, more preferably 1% by volume or more, and preferably 50% by volume or less, more preferably 20% by volume or less, and further preferably 10% by volume or less.

The injection layer is a layer provided between an electrode and an organic layer for the purpose of reducing a driving voltage or improving a light emission luminance, and may be a layer including a hole injection layer and an electron injection layer, and may be provided between an anode and a light emitting layer or a hole transport layer, and between a cathode and a light emitting layer or an electron transport layer, respectively. The injection layer can be provided as desired.
(Barrier layer)
The blocking layer is a layer capable of preventing diffusion of charges (electrons or holes) and/or excitons present in the light-emitting layer out of the light-emitting layer. The electron blocking layer can be disposed between the light-emitting layer and the hole transport layer, and prevents electrons from passing through the light-emitting layer toward the hole transport layer. Similarly, the hole blocking layer can be disposed between the light-emitting layer and the electron transport layer, and prevents holes from passing through the light-emitting layer toward the electron transport layer. The blocking layer can also be used in order to prevent excitons from diffusing to the outside of the light-emitting layer. That is, the electron blocking layer and the hole blocking layer can also function as an exciton blocking layer. The electron blocking layer or the exciton blocking layer described in this specification is used in a sense of including a layer having functions of the electron blocking layer and the exciton blocking layer as one layer. The barrier layer can be provided as desired.
(hole blocking layer)
The hole blocking layer has a function of an electron transport layer in a broad sense. The hole blocking layer has a function of transporting electrons and preventing holes from reaching the electron transporting layer, whereby the probability of recombination of electrons and holes in the light emitting layer can be increased. As the material of the hole blocking layer, a material of an electron transport layer described later can be used as necessary.
(Electron blocking layer)
The electron blocking layer has a function of transporting holes in a broad sense. The electron blocking layer has a function of transporting holes and preventing electrons from reaching the hole transporting layer, whereby the probability of recombination of electrons and holes in the light emitting layer can be increased.
(exciton blocking layer)
The exciton-blocking layer is a layer for blocking diffusion of excitons generated by recombination of holes and electrons in the light-emitting layer to the charge transport layer, and the excitons can be efficiently confined in the light-emitting layer by insertion of the layer, and the light-emitting efficiency of the device can be improved. The exciton blocking layer may be inserted into either the anode side or the cathode side adjacent to the light-emitting layer, or may be inserted into both sides. That is, when the exciton-blocking layer is provided on the anode side, the layer can be inserted between the hole-transporting layer and the light-emitting layer so as to be adjacent to the light-emitting layer, and when the exciton-blocking layer is inserted on the cathode side, the layer can be inserted between the light-emitting layer and the cathode so as to be adjacent to the light-emitting layer. Further, a hole injection layer, an electron blocking layer, or the like may be provided between the anode and the exciton blocking layer adjacent to the anode side of the light-emitting layer, and an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, a hole blocking layer, or the like may be provided between the cathode and the exciton blocking layer adjacent to the cathode side of the light-emitting layer. In the case where the blocking layer is provided, at least one of excited singlet energy and excited triplet energy of a material used as the blocking layer is preferably higher than excited singlet energy and excited triplet energy of the light-emitting material.
(hole transport layer)
The hole transport layer is made of a hole transport material having a function of transporting holes, and the hole transport layer can be provided in a single layer or a plurality of layers.
The hole transport material may be either an organic material or an inorganic material, having hole injection or transport properties or electron blocking properties. Examples of the known hole-transporting material that can be used include triazole derivatives, oxadiazole derivatives, imidazole derivatives, carbazole derivatives, indolocarbazole derivatives, polyarylalkane derivatives, pyrazoline derivatives, pyrazolone derivatives, phenylenediamine derivatives, arylamine derivatives, amino-substituted chalcone derivatives, oxazole derivatives, styrylanthracene derivatives, fluorenone derivatives, hydrazone derivatives, stilbene derivatives, silazane derivatives, and aniline copolymers, and further include conductive polymer oligomers, particularly thiophene oligomers, and the like.
(Electron transport layer)
The electron transport layer is made of a material having a function of transporting electrons, and the electron transport layer can be provided in a single layer or a plurality of layers.
The electron transport material (which may also serve as a hole blocking material) may have a function of transporting electrons injected from the cathode to the light-emitting layer. Examples of the electron transport layer that can be used include nitro-substituted fluorene derivatives, diphenylquinone derivatives, Thiopyran dioxide (thiopyrane dioxide) derivatives, carbodiimides, fluorenylidene methane derivatives, anthraquinone dimethane (anthraquinone dimethane), anthrone derivatives, and oxadiazole derivatives. Further, of the oxadiazole derivatives, a thiadiazole derivative obtained by substituting an oxygen atom of an oxadiazole ring with a sulfur atom, and a quinoxaline derivative having a quinoxaline ring known as an electron-withdrawing group can also be used as the electron-transporting material. Further, a polymer material in which these materials are introduced into a polymer chain or a main chain of a polymer can be used.

In this case, the compound represented by the general formula (1) used in the light-emitting layer and the compound represented by the general formula (1) used in a layer other than the light-emitting layer may be the same or different. For example, the compound represented by the general formula (1) may be used for the injection layer, the blocking layer, the hole blocking layer, the electron blocking layer, the exciton blocking layer, the hole transport layer, the electron transport layer, and the like. The method for forming these layers is not particularly limited, and the layers may be formed by either a dry process or a wet process.

The organic electroluminescent element produced by the above method emits light by applying an electric field between the anode and the cathode of the obtained element. In this case, if the light is emitted based on the excited singlet energy, the light having a wavelength corresponding to the energy level thereof is confirmed to be fluorescence emission and delayed fluorescence emission. When the light is emitted by the excited triplet energy, the wavelength corresponding to the energy level is considered to be phosphorescence. The fluorescence lifetime of normal fluorescence is shorter than delayed fluorescence emission, and therefore the emission lifetime can be distinguished from delayed fluorescence. Here, in the organic light-emitting element of the present invention, the delayed fluorescence component in the emitted light is preferably 50% or more, more preferably 60% or more, and still more preferably 70% or more.
On the other hand, regarding phosphorescence, in a general organic compound such as the compound of the present invention, excited triplet energy is unstable and is converted into heat, etc., and thus the lifetime is short and the phosphorescence is immediately deactivated, and therefore, almost no phosphorescence can be observed at room temperature. In order to measure the excited triplet energy of a general organic compound, it is possible to measure by observing light emission under extremely low temperature conditions.
The organic electroluminescent element of the present invention is applicable to any of individual elements, elements having an array-like structure, and an X-Y matrix-like structure in which an anode and a cathode are arranged. According to the present invention, an organic light-emitting element having greatly improved luminous efficiency can be obtained by including a compound represented by the general formula (1) in a light-emitting layer. The organic light-emitting element such as the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention can be further applied to various applications. For example, an organic electroluminescent display device can be manufactured using the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention, and in detail, reference can be made to an "organic EL display" (Ohmsha, Ltd.) commonly owned by wainshi, andkyush, and cuntian english. In addition, the organic electroluminescent element of the present invention can be applied to organic electroluminescent lighting or backlight which is in great demand.

Example 1 preparation and evaluation of toluene solution of Compound 1
Compound 1 was dissolved in toluene to prepare 10-5M in toluene.
Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vi s) absorption spectra of the prepared toluene solution of the compound 1 are shown in fig. 3(a), 3(b), and emission spectra based on excitation light of 320nm are shown in fig. 4.
FIG. 3(a) is an absorption spectrum in the range of 300 to 600nm, and FIG. 3(b) is an enlarged view of the range of 350 to 500nm in the absorption spectrum shown in FIG. 3 (a). As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), from the toluene solution of Compound 1, strong absorption having a shoulder at around 300nm and extremely weak absorption in a broad band at around 350 to 400nm were observed. And the absorption coefficient in the weak absorption is about 250cm-1M-1. The extremely weak absorption at 350 to 400nm means high transmittance of visible light (high color transparency). Therefore, the compound represented by the general formula (1) is very useful as a light-emitting material.
As shown in fig. 4, blue-green emission having a very large emission near 485nm was observed from the toluene solution of compound 1. The PL quantum yield based on 365nm excitation light was measured before and after Ar bubbling of this toluene solution of compound 1, and showed a very weak PL quantum yield of 2% ± 1% before Ar bubbling, whereas a greatly improved PL quantum yield of 84% ± 1% after Ar bubbling. The PL quantum yield before Ar bubbling was lower than after Ar bubbling, which is believed to be because the excited triplet state was quenched by dissolved oxygen in the toluene solution. Thus, it is suggested that the luminescence of compound 1 contains delayed fluorescence associated with cross-over from excited triplet-inverted to excited singlet state. Further, since the luminescence quantum yield significantly changes depending on the presence or absence of dissolved oxygen in a solution, the compound represented by the general formula (1) is also very useful as a material for an oxygen sensor.
Example 2 production and evaluation of organic photoluminescent element Using Compound 1
A thin film of compound 1 was formed on a quartz glass substrate by a vacuum deposition method, and used as an organic photoluminescent element. Here, the degree of vacuum at the time of vapor deposition was set to 1X 10-4Pa, and the thickness of the film was 38 nm.
Fig. 5 shows a transient decay curve of the luminescence measured at 300K for the prepared thin film of compound 1. The transient decay curve of luminescence in fig. 5 was measured with the excitation wavelength of 365nm and the detection wavelength of luminescence of 504 nm.
As a result of measuring the emission spectrum of the compound 1 thin film with excitation light of 320nm, a light emission peak having a maximum emission near 504nm was observed. And, the PL quantum yield at an excitation wavelength of 320nm was 71% under a nitrogen stream.
Then, compound 1 and CzSi were co-evaporated on quartz glass under the same conditions as described above to obtain a thin film (25 vol% for compound 1). The film had a photoluminescence quantum yield of 82%, a maximum luminescence wavelength of 483nm, CIE (x, y) (0.18,0.31), and τ d of 5.0 μ s.
Then, compound 1 and mCPCN were co-evaporated on quartz glass under the same conditions as described above to obtain a thin film (compound 1: 22 vol%). The film had a photoluminescence quantum yield of 64%, a maximum luminescence wavelength of 489nm, CIE (x, y) of (0.20,0.40), and τ d of 3.9 μ s. From the above results, when comparing mCPCN with CzSi, CzSi was found to be a more preferable host material.
Then, compound 1, CzSi, and TBPe were co-evaporated on quartz glass under the same conditions as described above to obtain a thin film (compound 1: 26 vol%, TBPe: 4 vol%). The film had a photoluminescence quantum yield of 87%, a maximum luminescence wavelength of 461nm, CIE (x, y) of (0.14,0.23), and τ d of 0.36 μ s. The results are shown below: the compounds of the present invention are useful as auxiliary dopants and efficiently produce TAF (TADF assisted fluorescence). Further, it also shows that extremely fast delayed fluorescence and desired blue light emission can be realized.

The emission color of each compound and the emission color of compound 1 are shown together in the following table.

Example 4 production and evaluation of organic electroluminescent element Using Compound 1
By vacuum evaporation method, toDegree of vacuum of 2X 10-4Pa or less, each thin film was laminated on a glass substrate on which an anode made of indium/tin oxide (ITO) having a film thickness of 50nm was formed. First, TAPC with a thickness of 60nm was formed on ITO, and mAP with a thickness of 10nm was formed thereon. Then, the compound 1 and mCBP were co-evaporated from different evaporation sources to form a layer having a thickness of 30nm, which was used as a light-emitting layer. At this time, the concentration of compound 1 was set to 25 vol%. Next, on the light emitting layer, PPF was formed to a thickness of 10nm, and on top thereof, BmPyPhB was formed to a thickness of 35 nm. Subsequently, Liq was formed to a thickness of 1nm, and Al was deposited thereon to a thickness of 80nm, thereby forming a cathode.
Through the above steps, an organic electroluminescent element (element 1) having a layer structure of ITO (50nm)/TAPC (60 nm)/mapp (10nm)/25 vol% of compound 1, mCBP (30nm)/PPF (10nm)/BmPyPhB (35nm)/Liq (1nm)/Al (80nm) (wherein "/" represents a boundary of a layer, and the thickness in parentheses represents a numerical film) was obtained.

And, the element 1 is at 1000cd/m2Lower luminescence maximum wavelength λMAXThe CIE color coordinate (x, y) of the emission is (0.20,0.44) at 496 nm.
Comparative example 1 production and evaluation of organic electroluminescent element Using DMAC-TRZ
An organic electroluminescent element (comparative element 1) was produced in the same manner as in example 4, except that DMAC-TRZ was used instead of compound 1. The layer structure of the comparative element 1 thus produced was ITO (50nm)/TAPC (60nm)/mAP (10nm)/25 vol% DMAC-TRZ, mCBP (30nm)/PPF (10nm)/BmPyPhB (35nm)/Liq (1nm)/Al (80 nm). DMAC-TRZ is a molecule having a donor group and an acceptor group in common with compound 1.
The current density of the manufactured comparative element 1 was measuredThe results of the degree-voltage-luminance characteristics are shown in fig. 6. 10000cd/m2And 20000cd/m2The external quantum efficiencies below are shown in table 2. Further, the CIE color coordinates (x, y) of the light emission of the comparative element 1 were (0.21,0.48), and the light emission color similar to that of the element 1 was exhibited.

E.g. at 10000cd/m2In the element 1, the external quantum efficiency can be increased by 10% or more compared to the comparative element 1.
