Description

Organic compounds, mixtures, compositions and uses thereof

The present application claims priority from the chinese patent application filed on 14/11/2019 under the name of "an organic compound containing a seven-membered ring and its use" by the chinese patent office under application No. 201911111644.7, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of electroluminescent materials, in particular to an organic compound, a polymer, a mixture, a composition and application thereof, especially application in an organic electroluminescent device.

Background

Organic light emitting materials have a variety of synthetic, relatively low manufacturing costs and excellent optical and electrical properties, and Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) made from organic light emitting materials have great potential for applications in optoelectronic devices such as flat panel displays and lighting.

To date, a luminescent material system based on fluorescence and phosphorescence has been developed, and an organic light emitting diode using a fluorescent material has a high reliability, but its internal electroluminescence quantum efficiency under electrical excitation is limited to 25% because the branching ratio of the singlet excited state and the triplet excited state of excitons is 1: 3. In contrast, the organic light emitting diode using the phosphorescent material has achieved almost 100% internal electroluminescence quantum efficiency. However, the stability of phosphorescent OLEDs is still to be improved. The stability of OLEDs, in addition to the emitter itself, is critical for the host material.

For red and green phosphorescent light-emitting devices, the performance of a host material determines the efficiency and the service life of the red and green phosphorescent light-emitting devices, and currently, the commonly used host material is an organic compound containing a carbazole group, but the charge transport of the material is unbalanced and the stability is limited, so that the service life of the device is not high. Researchers have been working on developing organic light emitting materials with good stability, but the stability of the organic light emitting materials developed at present is still insufficient.

Therefore, the design and synthesis of the organic luminescent material with good stability are of great significance.

Detailed Description

The invention provides an organic compound, a polymer, a mixture, a composition and application thereof. In order to make the objects, technical solutions and effects of the present invention clearer and clearer, the present invention is described in further detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

In the present invention, "substituted" means that a hydrogen atom in a substituent is substituted by a substituent.

In the present invention, "substituted or unsubstituted" means that the defined group may or may not be substituted. When a defined group is substituted, it is understood to be optionally substituted with art-acceptable groups including, but not limited to: c_1-30An alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 20 ring atoms, a heterocyclic group having 3 to 20 ring atoms, an aryl group having 5 to 20 ring atoms, a heteroaryl group having 5 to 20 ring atoms, a silane group, a carbonyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a carbamoyl group, a haloformyl group, a formyl group, -NRR', a cyano group, an isocyano group, an isocyanate group, a thiocyanate group, an isothiocyanate group, a hydroxyl group, a trifluoromethyl group, a nitro group or a halogen, and the above groups may be further substituted by a substituent acceptable in the art; it is understood that R and R 'in-NRR' are each independently substituted with art-acceptable groups including, but not limited to, H, C_1-6An alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 8 ring atoms, a heterocyclic group having 3 to 8 ring atoms, an aryl group having 5 to 20 ring atoms or a heteroaryl group having 5 to 10 ring atoms; said C is_1-6Alkyl, cycloalkyl containing 3 to 8 ring atoms, heterocyclyl containing 3 to 8 ring atoms, aryl containing 5 to 20 ring atoms or heteroaryl containing 5 to 10 ring atoms are optionally further substituted by one or more of the following: c_1-6Alkyl, cycloalkyl having 3 to 8 ring atoms, heterocyclyl having 3 to 8 ring atoms, halogen, hydroxy, nitro or amino.

In the present invention, the "number of ring atoms" represents the number of atoms among atoms constituting the ring itself of a structural compound (for example, a monocyclic compound, a condensed ring compound, a crosslinked compound, a carbocyclic compound, and a heterocyclic compound) in which atoms are bonded in a ring shape. When the ring is substituted with a substituent, the atoms contained in the substituent are not included in the ring-forming atoms. The "number of ring atoms" described below is the same unless otherwise specified. For example, the number of ring atoms of the benzene ring is 6, the number of ring atoms of the naphthalene ring is 10, and the number of ring atoms of the thienyl group is 5.

An aromatic group refers to a hydrocarbon group containing at least one aromatic ring. A heteroaromatic group refers to an aromatic hydrocarbon group that contains at least one heteroatom. The heteroatoms are preferably selected from Si, N, P, O, S and/or Ge, particularly preferably from Si, N, P, O and/or S. By fused ring aromatic group is meant that the rings of the aromatic group may have two or more rings in which two carbon atoms are shared by two adjacent rings, i.e., fused rings. The fused heterocyclic aromatic group means a fused ring aromatic hydrocarbon group containing at least one hetero atom. For the purposes of the present invention, aromatic or heteroaromatic radicals include not only aromatic ring systems but also non-aromatic ring systems.

Thus, for example, systems such as pyridine, thiophene, pyrrole, pyrazole, triazole, imidazole, oxazole, oxadiazole, thiazole, tetrazole, pyrazine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, triazine, carbene, and the like, are also considered aromatic or heterocyclic aromatic groups for the purposes of this invention. For the purposes of the present invention, fused-ring aromatic or fused-heterocyclic aromatic ring systems include not only systems of aromatic or heteroaromatic groups, but also systems in which a plurality of aromatic or heterocyclic aromatic groups may also be interrupted by short non-aromatic units (< 10% of non-H atoms, preferably less than 5% of non-H atoms, such as C, N or O atoms). Thus, for example, systems such as 9, 9' -spirobifluorene, 9, 9-diarylfluorene, triarylamines, diaryl ethers, etc., are also considered fused aromatic ring systems for the purposes of this invention.

In a certain preferred embodiment, said aromatic group is selected from: benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, fluoranthene, phenanthrene, triphenylene, perylene, tetracene, pyrene, benzopyrene, acenaphthene, fluorene, and derivatives thereof; the heteroaromatic group is selected from the group consisting of triazines, pyridines, pyrimidines, imidazoles, furans, thiophenes, benzothiophenes, indoles, carbazoles, pyrroloimidazoles, pyrrolopyrroles, thienopyrroles, thienothiophenes, furopyrroles, furofurans, thienofurans, benzisoxazoles, benzisothiazoles, benzimidazoles, quinolines, isoquinolines, phthalazines, quinoxalines, phenanthridines, primadines, quinazolines, quinazolinones, dibenzothiophenes, dibenzofurans, carbazoles, and derivatives thereof.

In the present invention, "+" attached to a single bond represents a connection site or a fusion site.

In the present invention, when the attachment site is not specified in the group, it means that an optional attachment site in the group is used as the attachment site.

In the present invention, when the condensed site is not specified in the group, it means that an optionally condensable site in the group is a condensed site, and preferably two or more sites at the ortho position in the group are condensed sites.

In the context of the present invention, a single bond to which a substituent is attached extends through the corresponding ring, meaning that the substituent may be attached at an optional position on the ring, for example

Wherein R is attached to any substitutable site of the phenyl ring.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the energy level structure of the organic material, the triplet state energy level E_THOMO, LUMO play a key role. These energy levels are described below.

The HOMO and LUMO energy levels can be measured by the photoelectric effect, for example XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and UPS (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy) or by cyclic voltammetry (hereinafter referred to as CV). Recently, quantum chemical methods, such as the density functional theory (hereinafter abbreviated as DFT), have become effective methods for calculating the molecular orbital level.

Triplet energy level E of organic material_T1Can be measured by low temperature Time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy, or can be obtained by quantum simulation calculations (e.g., by Time-dependent DFT), such as by the commercial software Gaussian 03W (Gaussian Inc.), and specific simulation methods can be found inWO2011141110 or as described in the examples below.

Note that HOMO, LUMO, E_T1The absolute value of (c) depends on the measurement method or calculation method used, and even for the same method, different methods of evaluation, for example starting point and peak point on the CV curve, can give different HOMO/LUMO values. Thus, a reasonably meaningful comparison should be made with the same measurement method and the same evaluation method. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, HOMO, LUMO, E_T1Is based on the simulation of the Time-dependent DFT but does not affect the application of other measurement or calculation methods.

In the present invention, (HOMO-1) is defined as the second highest occupied orbital level, (HOMO-2) is defined as the third highest occupied orbital level, and so on. (LUMO +1) is defined as the second lowest unoccupied orbital level, (LUMO +2) is the third lowest occupied orbital level, and so on.
