PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a luminescent Eucomplex salt having a high luminescent strength and compatibility with an organic medium, and a luminescent element using the same; and to provide a luminescence enhancer to a trisβ-diketonato Eucomplex.SOLUTION: The luminescent Eucomplex salt is composed of the trisβ-diketonato Eucomplex, an organic acid anion coordinated to the complex, and a quaternary ammonium salt; wherein the organic acid anion is at least one selected from (2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinic acid, (2-ethylhexyl)phosphate and benzotriazole.

Description

本発明は、EuIII錯塩及びそれを用いた発光素子、並びに発光増強剤に関する。 The present invention relates to an Eu III complex salt, a light emitting device using the same, and a light emission enhancer.

3価ユーロピウム(EuIII)化合物は赤色発光材料として自発型ディスプレイ、高演色性発光灯等に用いられている。EuIII化合物としては、例えば、酸化イットリウム等によって賦活化されたEuIII等の無機化合物が従来から用いられているが、近年注目されている有機EL素子等においては発光層が樹脂等の有機媒体からなるため、このような無機化合物は発光層に対する相溶性が十分ではなかった。そこで、EuIIIに有機化合物が配位してなるEuIII錯体が開発されており、例えば、EuIIIにβ−ジケトン(L)が配位してなるトリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体([EuL])が知られているが、[EuL]は発光強度が十分ではなかった。 Trivalent europium (Eu III ) compounds are used as red light emitting materials in spontaneous displays, high color rendering light emitting lamps and the like. As the Eu III compound, for example, an inorganic compound such as Eu III activated by yttrium oxide or the like has been conventionally used. However, in an organic EL element or the like that has recently attracted attention, the light emitting layer is an organic medium such as a resin. Therefore, such an inorganic compound is not sufficiently compatible with the light emitting layer. Therefore, Eu III and Eu III complex organic compound is coordinated have been developed, for example, the Eu III beta-diketones (L) is coordinated tris beta-diketonate Eu III complex ([EuL 3 ]) Is known, however, [EuL 3 ] has insufficient light emission intensity.

また、[EuL]にさらに配位子(X)が配位してなる[EuL(X)](Xが二座配位子の場合)若しくは[EuL(X](Xが単座配位子の場合)についても開発がなされており、例えば、「Polyhedron」、2007年、26、1229−1238頁(非特許文献1)には、[EuL]にさらに配位子として2,4,6−トリ(2−ピリジル)−1,3,5−トリアジン(TPTZ)が配位してなるEu(TTA)TPTZ及びEu(BA)TPTZが記載されており、「Molecular Physics」、2003年、vol.101、no.7、1037−1045頁(非特許文献2)には、[EuL]にさらに配位子としてジメチルスルホキシド(DMSO)が配位してなるEu(NTA)DMSOが記載されている。 In addition, [EuL 3 (X 0 )] (when X 0 is a bidentate ligand) or [EuL 3 (X 0 ) 2, wherein a ligand (X 0 ) is further coordinated to [EuL 3 ]. ] (When X 0 is a monodentate ligand) has also been developed. For example, “Polyhedron”, 2007, 26, 1229-1238 (Non-Patent Document 1) further includes [EuL 3 ]. Eu (TTA) 3 TPTZ and Eu (BA) 3 TPTZ formed by coordination of 2,4,6-tri (2-pyridyl) -1,3,5-triazine (TPTZ) as ligands are described. "Molecular Physics", 2003, vol. 101, no. 7, pages 1037-1045 (Non-Patent Document 2) describe Eu (NTA) 3 DMSO in which dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is coordinated to [EuL 3 ] as a ligand.

しかしながら、非特許文献1に記載のEu(TTA)TPTZ、Eu(BA)TPTZ及び非特許文献2に記載のEu(NTA)DMSOにおいても、発光強度は未だ十分ではなく、さらに、樹脂や有機溶媒等の有機媒体に対する相溶性も十分ではないため、樹脂と混合して発光素子に用いると経時によってEuIII錯体又は配位子である有機物が表面に析出するいわゆるブリードアウトが生じるという問題を有していた。 However, even in Eu (TTA) 3 TPTZ, Eu (BA) 3 TPTZ described in Non-Patent Document 1, and Eu (NTA) 3 DMSO described in Non-Patent Document 2, the emission intensity is still not sufficient, and further, resin The compatibility with organic media such as organic solvents and the like is not sufficient, so when mixed with a resin and used in a light-emitting device, a so-called bleedout occurs in which an organic substance as an Eu III complex or a ligand is deposited on the surface over time. Had.

なお、本発明によって高い発光強度が得られるようになる理由は必ずしも定かではないが、本発明者らは以下のように推察する。すなわち、本発明の発光性EuIII錯塩においては、電荷を有する特定の有機酸アニオンをトリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体にさらに配位させることによって錯体中の配位子場の非対称性が大きくなり高い発光強度を得ることが可能となるのに対して、従来の電荷を持たないDMSO等の配位子をトリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体にさらに配位させてなるEuIII錯体においては、錯体中の配位子場の非対称性が本発明に比べて小さいため、高い発光強度が得られないと本発明者らは推察する。 The reason why high emission intensity can be obtained by the present invention is not necessarily clear, but the present inventors infer as follows. That is, in the luminescent Eu III complex salt of the present invention, further coordination of a specific organic acid anion having a charge to the tris β-diketonato Eu III complex increases the asymmetry of the ligand field in the complex. whereas it is possible to obtain light emission intensity, in the conventional Eu III complex ligands such as DMSO composed by further coordinated to tris β- diketonate Eu III complex uncharged, in the complex Since the asymmetry of the ligand field is smaller than that of the present invention, the present inventors presume that high emission intensity cannot be obtained.

本発明によれば、高い発光強度と優れた有機媒体への相溶性とを有する発光性EuIII錯塩及びそれを用いた発光素子、並びにトリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体に対する発光増強剤を提供することが可能となる。 According to the present invention, there are provided a luminescent Eu III complex salt having high luminescence intensity and excellent compatibility with an organic medium, a light emitting device using the same, and a luminescence enhancer for a tris β-diketonato Eu III complex.

It is at least 1 sort (s) of the organic acid anions represented by these.

本発明において、一般式(1)〜(3)で表わされる有機酸アニオンはそれぞれ前記トリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体に対して1モル当量で配位し、前記トリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体と前記有機酸アニオンとからなるEuIII錯イオンを形成する。このときの配位原子は、前記一般式(1)〜(2)で表わされる有機酸アニオンにおいては酸素原子であり、前記一般式(3)で表わされる有機酸アニオンにおいては窒素原子である。本発明にかかる有機酸アニオンが前記トリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体にさらに配位することにより、本発明の発光性EuIII錯塩は高い発光強度を有する。 In the present invention, the general formula (1) coordinated with one molar equivalent for each organic acid anion is the tris β- diketonate Eu III complex represented by - (3), wherein said tris β- diketonate Eu III complex An Eu III complex ion composed of an organic acid anion is formed. The coordination atom at this time is an oxygen atom in the organic acid anion represented by the general formulas (1) to (2), and a nitrogen atom in the organic acid anion represented by the general formula (3). When the organic acid anion according to the present invention is further coordinated to the tris β-diketonato Eu III complex, the luminescent Eu III complex salt of the present invention has high emission intensity.

前記一般式(1)〜(2)中のR1、R2、R3、R4は、同一でも異なっていてもよく、それぞれ炭素数4〜10の脂肪族炭化水素基である。このような脂肪族炭化水素基の炭素数が前記下限未満では、発光性EuIII錯塩の発光強度が低下し、また、有機酸アニオンと第4級アンモニウムカチオンとが有機酸塩となった際の結晶性が高くなるために樹脂との相溶性が低くなる。他方、炭素数が前記上限を超えると、発光性EuIII錯塩の発光強度が低下し、また、有機酸アニオンの分子量が大きくなるために系内のEuIIIの含有率が低下する。また、このような脂肪族炭化水素基の炭素数としては、同様の観点で、より高い効果が得られる傾向にあることから8であることがより好ましい。 R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 in the general formulas (1) to (2) may be the same or different and each is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms. When the number of carbon atoms of such an aliphatic hydrocarbon group is less than the lower limit, the emission intensity of the luminescent Eu III complex salt decreases, and when the organic acid anion and the quaternary ammonium cation become an organic acid salt. Since the crystallinity increases, the compatibility with the resin decreases. On the other hand, when the number of carbons exceeds the upper limit, the emission intensity of the luminescent Eu III complex salt decreases, and the molecular weight of the organic acid anion increases, so that the Eu III content in the system decreases. Further, the number of carbon atoms of such an aliphatic hydrocarbon group is more preferably 8 from the same viewpoint because a higher effect tends to be obtained.

本発明の発光性EuIII錯塩において、トリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体に対して配位する有機酸アニオンは1モル当量であるが、本発明においては、トリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体に対して有機酸アニオンを過剰に添加することも可能である。このような有機酸アニオンのトリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体に対する添加量としては、0.9〜4.0モル当量であることが好ましい。有機酸アニオンの添加量が前記下限未満では、発光性EuIII錯塩の発光強度が低下する傾向にあり、他方、前記上限を超えると、例えば、有機酸塩とトリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体とを樹脂溶液中で混合して本発明の発光性EuIII錯塩を得る場合、錯塩を形成しない有機酸塩の濃度が高くなって樹脂の透明性や樹脂強度等に悪影響を及ぼす傾向にある。 In the luminescent Eu III complex salt of the present invention, the organic acid anion coordinated with respect to the tris β-diketonato Eu III complex is 1 molar equivalent, but in the present invention, the organic acid anion is organic with respect to the tris β-diketonato Eu III complex. It is also possible to add an acid anion in excess. The amount of such organic acid anions added to the tris β-diketonato Eu III complex is preferably 0.9 to 4.0 molar equivalents. When the addition amount of the organic acid anion is less than the lower limit, the emission intensity of the luminescent Eu III complex salt tends to decrease. On the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded, for example, an organic acid salt and a tris β-diketonato Eu III complex are added. When mixed in a resin solution to obtain the light-emitting Eu III complex salt of the present invention, the concentration of the organic acid salt that does not form a complex salt tends to increase, and the transparency and resin strength of the resin tend to be adversely affected.

本発明の発光性EuIII錯塩において、前記第4級アンモニウムカチオンの添加量としては、発光性EuIII錯塩の樹脂や有機溶媒等の有機媒体に対する相溶性がより向上するという観点から、第4級アンモニウムカチオンがモノカチオンである場合には前記有機酸アニオンに対して0.5〜1.5モル当量であることが好ましい。 In the luminescent Eu III complex salt of the present invention, the addition amount of the quaternary ammonium cation is quaternary from the viewpoint that the compatibility of the luminescent Eu III complex salt with an organic medium such as a resin or an organic solvent is further improved.

で表わされる有機酸アニオンのうちの少なくとも1種であることを特徴とするものである。本発明の発光増強剤は前記トリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体と前記本発明のEuIII錯塩を形成することにより、トリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体の発光強度を高める。
[In formula (3), R 5 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. ]
It is at least 1 sort (s) among the organic acid anions represented by these. The luminescence enhancer of the present invention enhances the luminescence intensity of the tris β-diketonato Eu III complex by forming the Tris β-diketonato Eu III complex and the Eu III complex salt of the present invention.

本発明にかかる有機酸アニオン及び第4級アンモニウムカチオンとしては、前記本発明の発光性EuIII錯塩において有機酸アニオン及び第4級アンモニウムカチオンとして挙げたものと同様のものをそれぞれ用いることができる。 As the organic acid anion and quaternary ammonium cation according to the present invention, those similar to those exemplified as the organic acid anion and quaternary ammonium cation in the luminescent Eu III complex of the present invention can be used.

本発明の発光増強剤としては、前記有機酸アニオンと前記第4級アンモニウムカチオンとを含有していればよく、特に制限されないが、前記有機酸アニオンと前記第4級アンモニウムカチオンとからなる有機酸塩を含有していることが好ましい。発光増強剤がこのような有機酸塩を含有している場合には、各種有機溶媒や樹脂に対する相溶性がより優れる傾向にあり、また、有機酸塩は難揮発性の塩であるため加熱による昇華が起こりにくくなる傾向にある。そのため、例えばトリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体及び本発明の発光増強剤を含有する発光素子を製造する場合、発光性EuIII錯塩の単離等の工程を要することなく、トリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体及び本発明の発光増強剤を樹脂溶液中で混合することで容易に発光強度が高い発光性EuIII錯塩を得ることができ、また、前記有機酸塩はブリードアウトしにくく、トリスβ−ジケトナトEuIII錯体に対して過剰に添加することもできるため厳密な添加量の制御が不要となる。よって、発光素子の製造工程を簡略化することができる。 The light emission enhancer of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it contains the organic acid anion and the quaternary ammonium cation, but is an organic acid composed of the organic acid anion and the quaternary ammonium cation. It preferably contains a salt. When the luminescence enhancer contains such an organic acid salt, it tends to be more compatible with various organic solvents and resins, and since the organic acid salt is a hardly volatile salt, There is a tendency that sublimation hardly occurs. Therefore, for example, when producing a light-emitting device containing the tris β-diketonato Eu III complex and the light emission enhancer of the present invention, the tris β-diketonato Eu III complex is not required, without requiring steps such as isolation of the luminescent Eu III complex salt. And a luminescent Eu III complex salt having a high luminescence intensity can be easily obtained by mixing the luminescence enhancer of the present invention in a resin solution, and the organic acid salt hardly bleeds out, and tris β-diketonato Eu. Since it can be added excessively with respect to the III complex, it is not necessary to strictly control the addition amount. Therefore, the manufacturing process of the light emitting element can be simplified.

このような有機酸塩としては、固体状であっても液体状であってもよく、有機溶媒に溶解していてもよい。前記有機溶媒としては、メタノール、アセトン、酢酸エチル、アセトニトリル、テトラヒドロフラン、ジクロロメタン、ヘキサン等が挙げられる。   Such an organic acid salt may be solid or liquid, and may be dissolved in an organic solvent. Examples of the organic solvent include methanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, hexane and the like.

本発明の発光増強剤の製造方法としては、特に制限されず、例えば、前記本発明の発光性EuIII錯塩において有機酸塩を合成する方法として挙げた方法と同様の方法を用いることができる。本発明の発光増強剤において、有機酸アニオンに対する第4級アンモニウムカチオンの添加量としては、前記本発明の発光性EuIII錯塩において述べたとおりである。 The method for producing the light emission enhancer of the present invention is not particularly limited, and for example, the same method as the method exemplified for synthesizing the organic acid salt in the light emitting Eu III complex salt of the present invention can be used. In the light emission enhancer of the present invention, the addition amount of the quaternary ammonium cation with respect to the organic acid anion is as described in the light emitting Eu III complex salt of the present invention.

次に、本発明の発光素子について説明する。本発明の発光素子は、前記本発明の発光性EuIII錯塩を含有する発光層を備えることを特徴とするものである。このような高い発光強度と優れた有機媒体への相溶性とを有する本発明の発光性EuIII錯塩を含有することにより、本発明の発光素子は高い発光強度を有すると共に透明性の高い優れた外観を有する。 Next, the light emitting device of the present invention will be described. The light emitting device of the present invention comprises a light emitting layer containing the light emitting Eu III complex salt of the present invention.
