The present application claims priority from U.S. c. ≡119 (e) to U.S. provisional application No. 63/433,171 filed on day 12, month 16 of 2022 and U.S. provisional application No. 63/353,785 filed on day 20 of 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates generally to organometallic compounds and formulations and various uses thereof, including as emitters in devices such as organic light emitting diodes and related electronic devices.
Background
Optoelectronic devices utilizing organic materials are becoming increasingly popular for a variety of reasons. Many of the materials used to fabricate the devices are relatively inexpensive, so organic photovoltaic devices have the potential for cost advantages over inorganic devices. In addition, the inherent properties of organic materials (e.g., their flexibility) may make them more suitable for specific applications, such as fabrication on flexible substrates. Examples of organic optoelectronic devices include organic light emitting diodes/devices (OLEDs), organic phototransistors, organic photovoltaic cells, and organic photodetectors. For OLEDs, organic materials can have performance advantages over conventional materials.
OLEDs utilize organic thin films that emit light when a voltage is applied across the device. OLEDs are becoming an increasingly interesting technology for use in applications such as flat panel displays, lighting and backlighting.
One application of phosphorescent emissive molecules is in full color displays. Industry standards for such displays require pixels adapted to emit a particular color (referred to as a "saturated" color). In particular, these standards require saturated red, green and blue pixels. Alternatively, the OLED may be designed to emit white light. In conventional liquid crystal displays, the emission from a white backlight is filtered using an absorbing filter to produce red, green and blue emissions. The same technique can also be used for OLEDs. The white OLED may be a single emissive layer (EML) device or a stacked structure. The colors may be measured using CIE coordinates well known in the art.

Detailed Description
A. Terminology
Unless otherwise specified, the following terms used herein are defined as follows:
As used herein, the term "organic" includes polymeric materials and small molecule organic materials that can be used to fabricate organic optoelectronic devices. "Small molecule" refers to any organic material that is not a polymer, and may be substantial in nature. In some cases, the small molecule may include a repeating unit. For example, the use of long chain alkyl groups as substituents does not remove a molecule from the "small molecule" class. Small molecules may also be incorporated into the polymer, for example as pendant groups on the polymer backbone or as part of the backbone. Small molecules can also act as the core of a dendrimer, which consists of a series of chemical shells built on the core. The core moiety of the dendrimer may be a fluorescent or phosphorescent small molecule emitter. Dendrimers may be "small molecules" and all dendrimers currently used in the OLED field are considered small molecules.
As used herein, "top" means furthest from the substrate, and "bottom" means closest to the substrate. Where a first layer is described as being "disposed" over "a second layer, the first layer is disposed farther from the substrate. Unless a first layer is "in contact with" a second layer, other layers may be present between the first and second layers. For example, a cathode may be described as "disposed over" an anode even though various organic layers are present between the cathode and the anode.
As used herein, "solution processable" means capable of being dissolved, dispersed, or transported in and/or deposited from a liquid medium in the form of a solution or suspension.
A ligand may be referred to as "photosensitive" when it is believed that the ligand contributes directly to the photosensitive properties of the emissive material. When the ligand is considered not to contribute to the photosensitive properties of the emissive material, the ligand may be referred to as "ancillary", but the ancillary ligand may alter the properties of the photosensitive ligand.
As used herein, and as will be generally understood by those of skill in the art, if the first energy level is closer to the vacuum energy level, then the first "highest occupied molecular orbital" (Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital, HOMO) or "lowest unoccupied molecular orbital" (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital, LUMO) energy level is "greater than" or "higher than" the second HOMO or LUMO energy level. Since Ionization Potential (IP) is measured as a negative energy relative to the vacuum level, a higher HOMO level corresponds to an IP with a smaller absolute value (less negative). Similarly, a higher LUMO energy level corresponds to an Electron Affinity (EA) with a smaller absolute value (less negative EA). On a conventional energy level diagram with vacuum energy level on top, the LUMO energy level of a material is higher than the HOMO energy level of the same material. The "higher" HOMO or LUMO energy level appears closer to the top of this figure than the "lower" HOMO or LUMO energy level.
As used herein, and as will be generally understood by those of skill in the art, a first work function is "greater than" or "higher than" a second work function if the first work function has a higher absolute value. Since work function is typically measured as a negative number relative to the vacuum level, this means that the "higher" work function is more negative (more negative). On a conventional energy level diagram with the vacuum energy level on top, a "higher" work function is illustrated as being farther from the vacuum energy level in a downward direction. Thus, the definition of HOMO and LUMO energy levels follows a different rule than work function.

In other cases, the most preferred general substituents are selected from the group consisting of: deuterium, fluorine, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and combinations thereof.
The terms "substituted" and "substituted" refer to substituents other than H bonded to the relevant position, such as carbon or nitrogen. For example, when R 1 When single substitution is represented, then one R 1 It must not be H (i.e., substitution). Similarly, when R 1 When two are substituted, two R 1 It must not be H. Similarly, when R 1 R represents zero or no substitution 1 For example, it may be hydrogen of available valence of the ring atoms, such as carbon atoms of benzene and nitrogen atoms in pyrrole, or for ring atoms having a fully saturated valence, it may simply represent none, such as nitrogen atoms in pyridine. The maximum number of substitutions possible in the ring structure will depend on the total number of available valences in the ring atom.
As used herein, "combination thereof" means that one or more members of the applicable list are combined to form a known or chemically stable arrangement that one of ordinary skill in the art can contemplate from the applicable list. For example, alkyl and deuterium can combine to form a partially or fully deuterated alkyl group; halogen and alkyl may combine to form a haloalkyl substituent; and halogen, alkyl and aryl may combine to form a haloaralkyl. In one example, the term substitution includes a combination of two to four of the listed groups. In another example, the term substitution includes a combination of two to three groups. In yet another example, the term substitution includes a combination of two groups. Preferred combinations of substituents are combinations containing up to fifty atoms other than hydrogen or deuterium, or combinations comprising up to forty atoms other than hydrogen or deuterium, or combinations comprising up to thirty atoms other than hydrogen or deuterium. In many cases, a preferred combination of substituents will include up to twenty atoms that are not hydrogen or deuterium.
The term "aza" in the fragments described herein, i.e., aza-dibenzofuran, aza-dibenzothiophene, etc., means that one or more of the C-H groups in the corresponding aromatic ring may be replaced with a nitrogen atom, for example and without limitation, aza-triphenylene encompasses dibenzo [ f, H ] quinoxaline and dibenzo [ f, H ] quinoline. Other nitrogen analogs of the aza-derivatives described above can be readily envisioned by those of ordinary skill in the art, and all such analogs are intended to be encompassed by the terms as set forth herein.
As used herein, "deuterium" refers to an isotope of hydrogen. Deuterated compounds can be readily prepared using methods known in the art. For example, U.S. patent No. 8,557,400, patent publication No. WO 2006/095951, and U.S. patent application publication No. US 2011/0037057 (which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety) describe the preparation of deuterium-substituted organometallic complexes. Further reference is made to Yan Ming (Ming Yan) et al, tetrahedron 2015,71,1425-30 and Azrote (Atzrodt) et al, germany application chemistry (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.) (reviewed) 2007,46,7744-65, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety, describes the deuteration of methylene hydrogen in benzylamine and the efficient pathway of replacement of aromatic ring hydrogen with deuterium, respectively.
It will be appreciated that when a fragment of a molecule is described as a substituent or otherwise attached to another moiety, its name may be written as if it were a fragment (e.g., phenyl, phenylene, naphthyl, dibenzofuranyl) or as if it were an entire molecule (e.g., benzene, naphthalene, dibenzofuran). As used herein, these different ways of naming substituents or linking fragments are considered equivalent.
In some cases, a pair of adjacent substituents may optionally be joined or fused into a ring. Preferred rings are five-, six-, or seven-membered carbocycles or heterocycles, including both cases where a portion of the ring formed by the pair of substituents is saturated and a portion of the ring formed by the pair of substituents is unsaturated. As used herein, "adjacent" means that the two substituents involved can be next to each other on the same ring, or on two adjacent rings having two nearest available substitutable positions (e.g., the 2, 2' positions in biphenyl or the 1, 8 positions in naphthalene) so long as they can form a stable fused ring system.

C. OLED and device of the present disclosure
In another aspect, the present disclosure also provides an OLED device comprising a first organic layer containing a compound as disclosed in the above compound section of the present disclosure.

and combinations thereof.
In some embodiments, the subject may be selected from the group consisting of structures in the following subject group:

wherein:

In yet another aspect, the OLED of the present disclosure may further comprise an emissive region containing a compound as disclosed in the above compound portion of the present disclosure.
In some embodiments, the emission region can comprise a first ligand L comprising formula I as described herein A Is a compound of (a).
In some embodiments, at least one of the anode, cathode, or new layer disposed over the organic emissive layer serves as the enhancement layer. The enhancement layer includes a plasmonic material exhibiting surface plasmon resonance, the plasmonic material non-radiatively coupled to the emitter material and transferring excited state energy from the emitter material to a non-radiative mode of surface plasmon polaritons. The enhancement layer is disposed no further than a threshold distance from the organic emissive layer, wherein the emitter material has a total non-radiative decay rate constant and a total radiative decay rate constant due to the presence of the enhancement layer, and the threshold distance is where the total non-radiative decay rate constant is equal to the total radiative decay rate constant. In some embodiments, the OLED further comprises an outcoupling layer. In some embodiments, the outcoupling layer is disposed on the enhancement layer on an opposite side of the organic emissive layer. In some embodiments, the outcoupling layer is disposed on the opposite side of the emission layer from the enhancement layer, but is still able to outcouple energy from the surface plasmon mode of the enhancement layer. The outcoupling layer scatters energy from the surface plasmon polaritons. In some embodiments, this energy is scattered into free space as photons. In other embodiments, energy is scattered from surface plasmon modes of the device into other modes, such as, but not limited to, an organic waveguide mode, a substrate mode, or another waveguide mode. If the energy is scattered to the non-free space mode of the OLED, other outcoupling schemes may be incorporated to extract the energy into free space. In some embodiments, one or more intervening layers may be disposed between the enhancement layer and the outcoupling layer. Examples of intervening layers may be dielectric materials, including organic, inorganic, perovskite, oxides, and may include stacks and/or mixtures of these materials.
The enhancement layer alters the effective properties of the medium in which the emitter material resides, causing any or all of the following: reduced emissivity, altered emission linearity, altered emission intensity with angle, altered emitter material stability, altered OLED efficiency, and reduced OLED device roll-off efficiency. Placing the enhancement layer on the cathode side, the anode side, or both sides creates an OLED device that takes advantage of any of the effects described above. In addition to the specific functional layers mentioned herein and illustrated in the various OLED examples shown in the figures, an OLED according to the present disclosure may also include any other functional layers common in OLEDs.
The enhancement layer may comprise a plasmonic material, an optically active super-structured material or a hyperbolic super-structured material. As used herein, a plasmonic material is a material in which the real part of the dielectric constant crosses zero in the visible or ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In some embodiments, the plasmonic material comprises at least one metal. In such embodiments, the metal may include at least one of the following: ag. Al, au, ir, pt, ni, cu, W, ta, fe, cr, mg, ga, rh, ti, ru, pd, in, bi, ca, alloys or mixtures of these materials, and stacks of these materials. Generally, a metamaterial is a medium composed of different materials, wherein the overall effect of the medium is different from the sum of its material portions. In particular, we define an optically active super-structured material as a material having both negative permittivity and negative permeability. On the other hand, hyperbolic metamaterials are anisotropic media in which the permittivity or permeability has different signs for different spatial directions. Optically active and hyperbolic metamaterials are very different from many other photonic structures, such as distributed Bragg reflectors (Distributed Bragg Reflector, "DBRs"), because the medium should exhibit uniformity in the direction of propagation over the length scale of the wavelength of light. Using terms that will be understood by those skilled in the art: the dielectric constant of a metamaterial in the propagation direction can be described by an effective dielectric approximation. Plasmonic and super-structured materials provide a method for controlling light propagation that can enhance OLED performance in a variety of ways.
In some embodiments, the enhancement layer is provided as a planar layer. In other embodiments, the enhancement layer has wavelength-sized features that are periodically, quasi-periodically, or randomly arranged, or sub-wavelength-sized features that are periodically, quasi-periodically, or randomly arranged. In some embodiments, the wavelength-sized features and the sub-wavelength-sized features have sharp edges.
In some embodiments, the outcoupling layer has wavelength-sized features that are periodically, quasi-periodically, or randomly arranged, or sub-wavelength-sized features that are periodically, quasi-periodically, or randomly arranged. In some embodiments, the outcoupling layer may be composed of a plurality of nanoparticles, and in other embodiments, the outcoupling layer is composed of a plurality of nanoparticles disposed over the material. In these embodiments, the outcoupling may be adjusted by at least one of the following means: changing the size of the plurality of nanoparticles, changing the shape of the plurality of nanoparticles, changing the material of the plurality of nanoparticles, adjusting the thickness of the material, changing the refractive index of the material or an additional layer disposed on the plurality of nanoparticles, changing the thickness of the reinforcing layer, and/or changing the material of the reinforcing layer. The plurality of nanoparticles of the device may be formed from at least one of: a metal, a dielectric material, a semiconductor material, a metal alloy, a mixture of dielectric materials, a stack or layering of one or more materials and/or a core of one type of material and a shell coated with another type of material. In some embodiments, the outcoupling layer is composed of at least metal nanoparticles, wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of: ag. Al, au, ir, pt, ni, cu, W, ta, fe, cr, mg, ga, rh, ti, ru, pd, in, bi, ca, alloys or mixtures of these materials, and stacks of these materials. The plurality of nanoparticles may have additional layers disposed over them. In some embodiments, the polarization of the emission may be adjusted using an outcoupling layer. Changing the size and periodicity of the outcoupling layer may select the type of polarization that preferentially outcouples to air. In some embodiments, the outcoupling layer also serves as an electrode of the device.
In yet another aspect, the present disclosure also provides a consumer product comprising an Organic Light Emitting Device (OLED) having an anode; a cathode; and an organic layer disposed between the anode and the cathode, wherein the organic layer may comprise a compound as disclosed in the above compound section of the disclosure.
In some embodiments, the consumer product comprises an OLED having: an anode; a cathode; and an organic layer disposed between the anode and the cathode, wherein the organic layer may comprise a first ligand L comprising formula I as described herein A Is a compound of (a).
In some embodiments, the consumer product may be one of the following products: flat panel displays, computer monitors, medical monitors, televisions, billboards, lights for interior or exterior illumination and/or signaling, heads-up displays, fully or partially transparent displays, flexible displays, laser printers, telephones, cellular telephones, tablet computers, tablet handsets, personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), wearable devices, laptop computers, digital cameras, video cameras, viewfinders, micro-displays with a diagonal of less than 2 inches, 3-D displays, virtual or augmented reality displays, vehicles, video walls comprising a plurality of displays tiled together, theatre or gym screens, phototherapy devices, and billboards.
In general, an OLED includes at least one organic layer disposed between and electrically connected to an anode and a cathode. When a current is applied, the anode injects holes and the cathode injects electrons into the organic layer. The injected holes and electrons each migrate toward the oppositely charged electrode. When an electron and a hole are localized on the same molecule, an "exciton" is formed, which is a localized electron-hole pair having an excited energy state. Light is emitted when the exciton relaxes through a light emission mechanism. In some cases, excitons may be localized on an excimer or exciplex. Non-radiative mechanisms (such as thermal relaxation) may also occur, but are generally considered undesirable.
Several OLED materials and configurations are described in U.S. patent nos. 5,844,363, 6,303,238, and 5,707,745, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Initial OLEDs used emissive molecules that emitted light ("fluorescence") from a singlet state, as disclosed, for example, in U.S. patent No. 4,769,292, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Fluorescence emission typically occurs in time frames less than 10 nanoseconds.
Recently, OLEDs have been demonstrated that have emissive materials that emit light from a triplet state ("phosphorescence"). Baldo et al, "efficient phosphorescent emission from organic electroluminescent devices (Highly Efficient Phosphorescent Emission from Organic Electroluminescent Devices)", nature, vol.395, 151-154,1998 ("Baldo-I"); and Bardo et al, "Very efficient green organic light emitting device based on electrophosphorescence (Very high-efficiency green organic light-emitting devices based on electrophosphorescence)", applied physical fast report (appl. Phys. Lett.), vol.75, stages 3,4-6 (1999) ("Bardo-II"), incorporated by reference in its entirety. Phosphorescence is described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 7,279,704, columns 5-6, which is incorporated by reference.
Fig. 1 shows an organic light emitting device 100. The figures are not necessarily drawn to scale. The device 100 may include a substrate 110, an anode 115, a hole injection layer 120, a hole transport layer 125, an electron blocking layer 130, an emissive layer 135, a hole blocking layer 140, an electron transport layer 145, an electron injection layer 150, a protective layer 155, a cathode 160, and a blocking layer 170. Cathode 160 is a composite cathode having a first conductive layer 162 and a second conductive layer 164. The device 100 may be fabricated by depositing the layers in sequence. The nature and function of these various layers and example materials are described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 7,279,704 at columns 6-10, which is incorporated by reference.
Further examples of each of these layers are available. For example, a flexible and transparent substrate-anode combination is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,844,363, which is incorporated by reference in its entiretyIncorporated in the manner used. An example of a p-doped hole transport layer is doped with F in a 50:1 molar ratio 4 m-MTDATA of TCNQ, as disclosed in U.S. patent application publication No. 2003/0239980, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Examples of luminescent and host materials are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,303,238 to Thompson et al, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. An example of an n-doped electron transport layer is BPhen doped with Li in a molar ratio of 1:1, as disclosed in U.S. patent application publication No. 2003/0230980, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Examples of cathodes are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,703,436 and 5,707,745, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety, that include composite cathodes having a thin layer of metal (e.g., mg: ag) containing an overlying transparent, electrically conductive, sputter-deposited ITO layer. The theory and use of barrier layers is described in more detail in U.S. patent No. 6,097,147 and U.S. patent application publication No. 2003/0230980, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Examples of implanted layers are provided in U.S. patent application publication No. 2004/0174116, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. A description of protective layers can be found in U.S. patent application publication No. 2004/0174116, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Fig. 2 shows an inverted OLED 200. The device includes a substrate 210, a cathode 215, an emissive layer 220, a hole transport layer 225, and an anode 230. The device 200 may be fabricated by depositing the layers in sequence. Because the most common OLED configuration has a cathode disposed above an anode, and the device 200 has a cathode 215 disposed below an anode 230, the device 200 may be referred to as an "inverted" OLED. Materials similar to those described with respect to device 100 may be used in the corresponding layers of device 200. Fig. 2 provides one example of how some layers may be omitted from the structure of the apparatus 100.
The simple layered structure illustrated in fig. 1 and 2 is provided by way of non-limiting example, and it should be understood that embodiments of the present disclosure may be used in conjunction with a variety of other structures. The specific materials and structures described are exemplary in nature, and other materials and structures may be used. Functional OLEDs may be obtained by combining the various layers described in different ways, or the layers may be omitted entirely based on design, performance, and cost factors. Other layers not specifically described may also be included. Materials other than those specifically described may be used. Although many of the examples provided herein describe the various layers as comprising a single material, it should be understood that combinations of materials may be used, such as mixtures of host and dopant, or more generally, mixtures. Further, the layers may have various sublayers. The names given to the various layers herein are not intended to be strictly limiting. For example, in device 200, hole transport layer 225 transports holes and injects holes into emissive layer 220, and may be described as a hole transport layer or a hole injection layer. In one embodiment, an OLED may be described as having an "organic layer" disposed between a cathode and an anode. This organic layer may comprise a single layer, or may further comprise multiple layers of different organic materials as described, for example, with respect to fig. 1 and 2.
Structures and materials not specifically described, such as OLEDs (PLEDs) comprising polymeric materials, such as disclosed in frank (Friend) et al, U.S. patent No. 5,247,190, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety, may also be used. By way of another example, an OLED with a single organic layer may be used. The OLEDs can be stacked, for example, as described in U.S. patent No. 5,707,745 to Forrest et al, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. The OLED structure may deviate from the simple layered structure illustrated in fig. 1 and 2. For example, the substrate may include an angled reflective surface to improve out-coupling, such as a mesa structure as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,091,195 to Furster et al, and/or a pit structure as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,834,893 to Boolean et al, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Any of the layers of the various embodiments may be deposited by any suitable method unless otherwise specified. Preferred methods for the organic layer include thermal evaporation, ink jet (as described in U.S. Pat. nos. 6,013,982 and 6,087,196, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety), organic vapor deposition (OVPD) (as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,337,102, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety), and deposition by organic vapor jet printing (OVJP, also known as Organic Vapor Jet Deposition (OVJD)), as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,431,968, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Other suitable deposition methods include spin-coating and other solution-based processes. The solution-based process is preferably carried out under nitrogen or an inert atmosphere. For other layers, the preferred method includes thermal evaporation. Preferred patterning methods include deposition through a mask, cold welding (as described in U.S. patent nos. 6,294,398 and 6,468,819, incorporated by reference in their entirety), and patterning associated with some of the deposition methods such as inkjet and Organic Vapor Jet Printing (OVJP). Other methods may also be used. The material to be deposited may be modified to suit the particular deposition method. For example, substituents such as alkyl and aryl groups that are branched or unbranched and preferably contain at least 3 carbons can be used in small molecules to enhance their ability to withstand solution processing. Substituents having 20 carbons or more may be used, and 3 to 20 carbons are a preferred range. A material with an asymmetric structure may have better solution processibility than a material with a symmetric structure because an asymmetric material may have a lower tendency to recrystallize. Dendrimer substituents may be used to enhance the ability of small molecules to undergo solution processing.
Devices fabricated according to embodiments of the present disclosure may further optionally include a barrier layer.
