Definitions
- the invention relates to phosphorescent or luminescent conjugated polymers, the emission of which is based on phosphorescence of covalently bonded metal complexes, optionally in combination with fluorescence of the polymer chain, a process for their preparation and their use in electroluminescent arrangements.
- LEDs Light emitting diodes
- solar cells solar cells
- laser diodes field effect transistors and sensors.
- polymers such as e.g. Poly- (p-phenylene) (PPP), poly- (p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and poly-2,7- (fluorene) (PF) are described in electroluminescent arrangements (e.g. A. Kraft et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1998, 37, 402).
- the light emission in organic light-emitting diodes is normally preferably carried out by fluorescence processes.
- the electroluminescence (EL) quantum efficiency of an arrangement with a fluorescent emitter is limited by the low theoretical ratio of singlet (25%) to triplet excitons (75%), which are formed by electron-hole recombination, since the light emission only from excited singlet states.
- the advantage of phosphorescent emitters is that both the singlet and triplet states contribute to light emission, i.e. the internal quantum efficiency can reach up to 100% since all excitons can be used for light emission.
- the organic electroluminescence (EL) arrangements usually contain one or more layers of organic charge transport compounds in addition to the light-emitting layer.
- the basic structure in the order of the layers is as follows:
- Layers 1 to 10 represent the electroluminescent arrangement.
- Layers 3 to 7 represent the electroluminescent element.
- a hole-blocking layer can also be located between the light-emitting layer (5) and the electron-transporting layer (6).
- an EL arrangement consists of two electrodes, between which there is an organic layer that fulfills all functions - including the emission of light.
- Multi-layer systems in LEDs can be built up by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), in which the layers are applied successively from the gas phase, or by casting processes.
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- the vapor deposition processes are used in conjunction with shadow mask technology for the production of structured LEDs that use organic molecules as emitters, but such gas phase processes that have to be carried out in a vacuum and cannot be operated continuously, are expensive and time-consuming.
- Application processes from solution, such as casting (eg spin coating) and printing processes of all kinds (inkjet (Flexographic, screen printing, etc.) are generally preferred due to the higher process speeds, the lower outlay on equipment and the associated cost savings.
- inkjet technology for structuring polymeric emitters
- a metal complex that is phosphorescent at room temperature eg, carbon-nitrogen cyclometalated iridium ( ⁇ i) complex or platinum (II) complex
- ⁇ i carbon-nitrogen cyclometalated iridium
- II platinum
- the doping can be carried out by dissolving the dopant and the organic matrix together in a solvent and then applying them using a casting process (for example S. Lamansky, Organic Electronics 2001, 2, 53).
- Soluble, low-molecular-weight iridium complexes with sterically demanding fluorenyl-pyridine or fluorenyl-phenylpyridine ligands have recently been synthesized, which are accessible for application from solution, but have only very low EL efficiencies of 0.1% in EL arrangements (JC Ostrowski et al, Chem. Commun. 2002, 784-785).
- the disadvantages of the low-molecular-weight phosphorescent emitter materials in EL arrangements are quenching processes in general and in particular the lowering of the luminous efficiency at higher voltage densities, which is caused by saturation of the emitting centers due to long phosphorescence lifetimes and / or by migration processes of the dopants (MA Baldo et al Pure Appl. Chem. 1999, 71 (11), 2095).
- EP 1 138 746 A1 describes branched conjugated or partially conjugated polymers which can contain a phosphorescent metal complex, the disadvantage being that, due to the choice of the monomers, an interruption of the conjugation and consequently an undesirable shortening of the conjugation length is brought about, which leads to a worsening of the Transport of the charge carriers through the layers causes. Furthermore, due to the use of iridium monomer mixtures, it is not possible to produce polymers of defined composition, which is likewise disadvantageous for the charge carrier transport through the layers.
- WO 01/96454 AI describes polymer matrices based on aromatic repeating units, which may contain a luminescent metal complex.
- white organic light emitting diodes i.e. Those that emit white light are finding increasing interest as low-cost backlighting of liquid crystal screens, as flat lighting sources, or for the production of full-color displays through the combination with color filters.
- White light is created by additive color mixing of the three primary colors red, green and blue, or can be achieved by mixing complementary colors, e.g. of blue and yellow light.
- Light-emitting diodes appear white if they show a very broad and uniform emission over the entire visible spectral range from 400 to 800 nm.
- White polymeric light-emitting diodes have been described which contain a blue-emitting polymer, for example polyfluorene or polyvinylcarbazole, and a suitable red or orange doping dye.
- the doping concentrations have to be set very precisely and are often only a fraction of a percent (Kido et al., Applied Physics Letters 1995, 67 (16), 2281). With doping there is always the risk of reducing long-term stability due to segregation, crystallization and / or migration of the low molecular weight dopants in the emitter layer.
- Another object was to provide one-component emitter materials that emit white light and can be processed from solution. These should preferably show efficient white emission even in the simple device structure, for example in the two-layer structure (hole injection and emitter layer).
- phosphorescent polymers which are conjugated and neutral and contain at least one phosphorescent metal complex covalently bonded are suitable for use as emitter materials, for example in the above-mentioned LEDs, and are accessible for application from solution.
- the present invention thus relates to phosphorescent polymers which are conjugated and neutral and contain at least one phosphorescent metal complex covalently bonded.
- conjugated means that the main chain of the polymers can either be completely conjugated or partially conjugated.
- a large conjugation length in the main chain is advantageous for good charge carrier transport, which is why polymers with such a conjugation length, in particular polymers with a fully conjugated main chain, are preferred.
- the phosphorescent conjugated polymers according to the invention are preferably unbranched, which means in the sense of the invention that they can in some cases only contain short side chains which serve for the covalent attachment of the phosphorescent metal complexes, but are not growth sites of the polymer and are therefore not branches.
- the phosphorescent conjugated polymers according to the invention show electrophosphorescence, i.e. phosphoresce - for example in OLEDs - through electrical excitation. However, they can also be optically excited to phosphorescence.

- Luminescent polymers according to the invention are obtained when the conjugated polymer main chain and the covalently bonded phosphorescent metal complex (s) are selected such that the excitation energy is not completely transferred to the phosphorescent metal complex (s) or remains there. ie if part of the excitation energy remains on the conjugated polymer main chain and - in addition to the phosphorescence of the metal complex (s) - leads to fluorescence of the conjugated main chain.
- the conjugated main chain of which contains fluorenyl repeat units contains fluorenyl repeat units. If, for example, such a conjugated polyAuoren main chain is combined with yellow or green phosphorescent iridium complexes, energy transfer from the polyfluorene main chain to the iridium complex (s) takes place only incompletely.

- the phosphorescent or luminescent polymers according to the invention show electroluminescence, i.e. luminescence - for example in OLEDs - through electrical excitation. But you can also optically, i.e. be stimulated to luminescence by light. However, the electroluminescence spectrum of a phosphorescent or luminescent polymer according to the invention can differ from its photoluminescence spectrum and consequently the color of the emitted light can also be different (electrical or optical) depending on the excitation.
- the invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of the phosphorescent or luminescent polymers according to the invention, uncomplexed ligand polymers with iridium (i ⁇ ), platinum (H), osmium (II) or rhodium (HI) precursor complexes, preferably iridium (IH ) Precursor complexes, in particular those of the general formula E,
- iridium precursor complexes of the general formula E may be necessary to activate the iridium precursor complexes of the general formula E beforehand, for example by stirring with silver (I) salts, in particular silver (I) trifluoromethanesulfonate, in organic solvents or mixtures, for example dichloromethane and / or acetonitrile.
- silver (I) salts in particular silver (I) trifluoromethanesulfonate
- organic solvents or mixtures for example dichloromethane and / or acetonitrile.
- Such activation is required, for example, if the ligand L 2 complexes the transition metal in a chelate-like manner via both carbon and nitrogen coordination sites.
- Uncomplexed ligand polymers are all polymers containing repeating units of the general formula A or (Ic) and / or F,
- X can have the abovementioned meaning of Ar 1 , Ar 2 , Ar 3 or the abovementioned meaning of L 1 (as defined for the general formula B-Ia, B-Ib or (Id)) or combinations thereof and the sum the number of repeat units A or (Ic) and / or F is n or p, where n or p have the meaning given above.
- the uncomplexed ligand polymers can in each case be functionalized at the chain ends with a ligand L 1 as defined for the general formulas C or D or (Ia) or (Ib) or saturated by H or aryl.
- This method also offers the advantage of simply varying the transition metal content, in particular iridium content, in the polymer by selecting the stoichiometric ratio of ligand polymer to transition metal precursor complex, in particular iridium precursor complex.
- the syntheses of the iridium precursor complexes are described in the literature, e.g. S. Sprouse, K.A. King, P.J. Spellane, R.J. Watts, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1984, 106, 6647-6653, or WO 01/41512 AI.
- the syntheses of the ligand polymers can be carried out analogously to the examples described in the literature, e.g. T. Yamamoto et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 10389-10399, T. Yamamoto et al., Macromolecules 1992, 25, 1214-1223 and R. D. Miller, Macromolecules 1998, 31, 1099-1103.
- the phosphorescent conjugated polymers according to the invention have the advantage over low molecular weight phosphorescent metal complexes that they are accessible for application from solution, can be applied in one step without additional doping or mixing (blending) and at the same time have long lifetimes and high external quantum efficiencies in EL arrangements.
- the luminescent polymers according to the invention are also accessible for application from solution and have the advantage over mixtures of polymers and low molecular weight dopants or mixtures of different colored emitter materials that they can be applied in one step without additional doping or mixing (blending).
- the phosphorescent or luminescent polymers according to the invention also have the advantage that the polymer and the phosphorescent metal complex cannot separate and the metal complex cannot crystallize as a result. Such separation and crystallization processes have recently been described for blend systems consisting of polymer and admixed low-molecular iridium complexes (Noh et al., Journal of Chemical Physics 2003, 118 (6), 2853-2864). Surprisingly, it was found that the luminescent polymers according to the invention are suitable as white one-component emitter materials.
- the white emitters according to the invention are characterized in that they have fluorescence and phosphorescence components in spectrally different areas. They offer the advantage of emitting even at low operating and switch-on voltages, as well as showing good current-voltage-brightness characteristics, and they already produce white light with high efficiency in a two-layer diode structure (hole injection and emitter layer).
- the phosphorescent or luminescent polymers according to the invention are therefore particularly well suited for use as emitter materials in light-emitting components, for example organic or polymer LEDs, laser diodes, in displays, displays (TV, computer monitor), for backlighting LCDs and clocks, as lighting elements, in spotlights, as advertising and information signs, in mobile communication devices, in displays for household appliances (e.g. washing machines, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, etc.), in the automotive sector for interior lighting and lighting of fittings, or as integrated displays in glazing systems, etc. be used.
- organic or polymer LEDs for example organic or polymer LEDs, laser diodes, in displays, displays (TV, computer monitor), for backlighting LCDs and clocks, as lighting elements, in spotlights, as advertising and information signs, in mobile communication devices, in displays for household appliances (e.g. washing machines, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, etc.), in the automotive sector for interior lighting and lighting of fittings, or as integrated displays in glazing systems, etc. be used.
- the luminescent polymers according to the invention are particularly well suited for use as white emitter materials in light-emitting components, such as white organic light-emitting diodes, e.g. as low-cost backlighting of liquid crystal screens, as flat lighting sources, or for the production of full-color displays by combining them with color filters.
- white organic light-emitting diodes e.g. as low-cost backlighting of liquid crystal screens, as flat lighting sources, or for the production of full-color displays by combining them with color filters.
- low-molecular emitter materials Compared to low-molecular emitter materials, they have the advantage in this regard that erasing processes that lead to a decrease in external quantum efficiency are avoided. In the case of low molecular weight emitters, these occur with increasing iridium concentration (local accumulation) due to migration processes. In the phosphorescent or luminescent polymers according to the invention, the iridium complexes are no longer accessible due to the covalent linkage to the polymer migration processes.
- the white emitters according to the invention furthermore have the advantage that, as one-component emitters, they do not show the disadvantages of the energy transfer processes and of "differential aging" (different degrees of strength and rapid fading of individual emitters) described above, which is why with a color locus shift away from the white point, also called achromatic point , is not to be expected in the case of longer operating times white emitter according to the invention has no perceptible dependence of the color location of the emitted light on the applied voltage.
- various polymers according to the invention can be mixed (blended), for example phosphorescent polymers according to the invention with further phosphorescent polymers according to the invention and / or with luminescent polymers according to the invention. If, for example, white light is generated from the complementary colors blue and yellow, the light appears white, but the red spectral components are missing, so that the color rendering of objects illuminated with this light can be falsified.
- the addition of red-emitting polymers according to the invention can be advantageous in such cases.
- spectral red components are absolutely necessary if red light is to be generated using color filters, since red color filters filter out all spectral components except the red ones.
- the present invention therefore furthermore relates to mixtures (blends) comprising one or more phosphorescent polymer (s) according to the invention and one or more luminescent polymer (s) according to the invention and the use of these mixtures as emitters in light-emitting components.
- mixtures (blends) of phosphorescent and luminescent polymers according to the invention can also be applied in succession in different layers in order to achieve the appropriate color locus setting or color locus optimization.
- the present invention furthermore relates to electroluminescent arrangements which contain at least one phosphorescent or luminescent polymer according to the invention.
- the phosphorescent or luminescent polymer according to the invention serves as a light-emitting material.
- the use of the phosphorescent or luminescent polymers according to the invention as the light-emitting material offers the advantage over known low-molecular light-emitting materials that additional components, such as e.g. Binder, matrix materials or charge transport compounds are required in the light-emitting layer, although these additional components can nevertheless be contained.
