本発明は、有機EL素子等に用いられる発光素子用材料として有用なトリスオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体(以下、単にオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体ともいう)の製造方法に関する。The present invention relates to a method for producing a trisorthometalated iridium complex (hereinafter, also simply referred to as an orthometalated iridium complex) useful as a light emitting element material used for an organic EL element or the like.
有機EL素子は次世代の携帯情報端末などのディスプレイ素子として注目されており、近年になって発光素子の材料開発が活発に進められるようになってきた。その中でも、トリス(2−フェニルピリジン)イリジウム錯体に代表されるオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体は、発光効率の観点から有望視されており、特に注目されている発光素子材料である。 Organic EL elements are attracting attention as display elements for next-generation portable information terminals and the like, and in recent years, material development of light-emitting elements has been actively promoted. Among them, ortho-metalated iridium complexes represented by tris (2-phenylpyridine) iridium complexes are promising from the viewpoint of light emission efficiency, and are light-emitting element materials that have attracted particular attention.
このオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体を、ハロゲン化イリジウムを原料に一段階で合成する方法としては、例えば、3塩化イリジウムと有機配位子を加熱還流下、24時間反応させる方法が知られている(非特許文献1)。
この一段階合成法は下記の反応式(1)のように推定される多段階反応を一気に進めようとするものであるが、中間生成物である、ハロゲン配位子で架橋されたイリジウムダイマー(以下、架橋ダイマーともいう)の生成した段階で反応がほとんど進行しなくなるため、副生成物である架橋ダイマー(D−1)が多量に生成し、目的物であるオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体(A−1)の収率が極めて低い等の問題点があった。
As a method for synthesizing this orthometalated iridium complex from iridium halide as a raw material in one step, for example, a method of reacting iridium trichloride and an organic ligand under heating under reflux for 24 hours is known (non- Patent Document 1).
In this one-step synthesis method, a multi-step reaction estimated as shown in the following reaction formula (1) is attempted at once, but an intermediate product, an iridium dimer crosslinked with a halogen ligand ( Hereinafter, the reaction hardly proceeds at the stage where the cross-linked dimer is generated), so that a large amount of the cross-linked dimer (D-1) as a by-product is generated and the ortho-metalated iridium complex (A-) as the target product is formed. There was a problem that the yield of 1) was extremely low.
このような副生成物の生成を抑制するために、脱ハロゲン化剤である銀塩の存在下で反応させる方法も提案されているが(非特許文献2)、吸湿性の銀塩を使用するために操作性が悪く、またこの方法では、生成した塩化銀とオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体を分離・精製する工程が新たに必要になるなどの問題があった。 In order to suppress the formation of such a by-product, a method of reacting in the presence of a silver salt which is a dehalogenating agent has been proposed (Non-patent Document 2), but a hygroscopic silver salt is used. Therefore, the operability is poor, and this method has a problem that a process for separating and purifying the generated silver chloride and the orthometalated iridium complex is newly required.
本発明は、上記従来技術の事情に鑑みなされたものであって、ハロゲン化イリジウムと有機配位子を反応させて、オルトメタル化イリジウム錯体を製造する方法において、副生成物である架橋ダイマーの生成を抑制し、一段階では合成困難とされていたオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体を、脱ハロゲン化剤を使用することなく高収率、高純度かつ短時間に製造し得る方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described prior art, and in a method for producing an orthometalated iridium complex by reacting an iridium halide with an organic ligand, a by-product of a crosslinked dimer is obtained. It is an object to provide a method capable of producing an ortho-metalated iridium complex, which has been difficult to synthesize in one step, with high yield, high purity and in a short time without using a dehalogenating agent. And
本発明者らは、上記課題を鋭意検討した結果、ハロゲン化イリジウム化合物と有機配位子とから一段階でオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体を製造する反応においては、反応系の有機配位子の物質量が極めて重要な因子となり、この有機配位子を化学量論的に大過剰用いると、意外にも反応が活性化され、反応時間が著しく短縮化されるだけでなく、副生成物である架橋ダイマーの生成を効果的に抑制できることを見いだし、本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of intensive studies on the above problems, the present inventors have determined that the amount of organic ligand in the reaction system in the reaction of producing an orthometalated iridium complex from a halogenated iridium compound and an organic ligand in one step. Is an extremely important factor, and if this organic ligand is used in a large stoichiometric excess, the reaction is unexpectedly activated and the reaction time is notably shortened. It has been found that the production of dimers can be effectively suppressed, and the present invention has been completed.

本発明のトリスオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体(以下、単にオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体ともいう)の製造方法は、ハロゲン化イリジウム化合物とイリジウム−窒素結合およびイリジウム−炭素結合を形成し得る2座有機配位子を反応させて、オルトメタル化イリジウム錯体を製造するに当たり、当該有機配位子の使用量をハロゲン化イリジウムに対して化学量論的に30当量以上とすることを特徴とする。 The method for producing a trisorthometalated iridium complex (hereinafter, also simply referred to as an orthometalated iridium complex) according to the present invention comprises a bidentate organic ligand capable of forming an iridium-nitrogen bond and an iridium-carbon bond with an iridium halide compound.

Examples of such compounds include (NH 4 ) 3 IrCl 6 , (NH 4 ) 2 IrCl 6 , Na 3 IrCl 6 , Na 2 IrCl 6 , K 3 IrCl 6 , K 2 IrCl 6 , (NH 4 ) 3 IrBr 6, (NH 4) 2 IrBr 6, Na 3 IrBr 6, Na 2 IrBr 6, (NH 4) 3 IrI 6, (NH 4) 2 IrI 6, Na 3 IrI 6, Na 2 IrI 6, IrCl 3, IrBr 3 , IrI 3 , IrCl 4 , IrBr 4 , IrI 4 , H 3 IrCl 6 , H 2 IrCl 6 , and the like can be given. These iridium halide compounds may have crystal water or a crystal solvent, and hydrates are preferably used in the reaction. Further, the valence of iridium is not particularly limited, but trivalent and tetravalent are preferable, and more desirably trivalent.
本発明で用いる有機配位子は、イリジウム−窒素結合およびイリジウム−炭素結合からなる結合を少なくとも2つ形成し得る2座有機配位子である。The organic ligand used in the present invention is a bidentate organic ligand capable of forming at least two bonds composed of an iridium-nitrogen bond and an iridium-carbon bond.
このような配位子の例としては、例えば、2−フェニルピリジン誘導体、2−フェニルキノリン誘導体、7,8−ベンゾキノリン誘導体、2−(2−チエニル)ピリジン誘導体、1−フェニルピラゾール誘導体、1−フェニルイソキノリン誘導体、2−(2−ベンゾチオフェニル)ピリジン誘導体、2−ベンジルピリジン誘導体及び2−(1−ナフチル)ピリジン誘導体の他、国際公開第01/041512号、国際公開第02/15645号、特許公開2001-247859号に記載の有機配位子等を挙げることができる。 Examples of such ligands include, for example, 2-phenylpyridine derivatives, 2-phenylquinoline derivatives, 7,8-benzoquinoline derivatives, 2- (2-thienyl) pyridine derivatives, 1-phenylpyrazole derivatives, 1 -Phenylisoquinoline derivative, 2- (2-benzothiophenyl) pyridine derivative, 2-benzylpyridine derivative and 2- (1-naphthyl) pyridine derivative, as well as WO 01/041512 and WO 02/15645 And organic ligands described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2001-247859.
有機配位子の使用量は、副生成物である架橋ダイマーの生成を抑制するために、ハロゲン化イリジウムに対し、化学量論的に30当量以上、好ましくは50当量以上、更に好ましくは100当量以上とすることが必要である。有機配位子の使用量が30当量未満であると、後記する比較例にみるように架橋ダイマーが多量に副生し、所望とするオルトメタル化イリジウム錯体の収率が低下する。このように、有機配位子の使用量をハロゲン化イリジウムに対して化学量論的に30当量以上とした場合、副生ダイマーの生成量が効果的に抑制され、オルトメタル化イリジウム錯体が主生成物になることは、従来全く知られていない事柄であり、本発明者らの、数多くの緻密な実験の積み重ねによって初めて見いだされた新規な知見である。
本発明がこのような手段を講じることにより、副生ダイマーの生成量が効果的に抑制され、オルトメタル化イリジウム錯体が高収率、高純度、かつ短時間で得られる理由は、現時点では定かではないが、大過剰に添加した有機配位子が単に配位子として機能するだけでなく、塩基としても機能し、オルトメタル化反応における有機配位子からの脱プロトン過程を促進しているためと推定している。
The amount of the organic ligand used is stoichiometrically 30 equivalents or more, preferably 50 equivalents or more, more preferably 100 equivalents, relative to the iridium halide in order to suppress the formation of by-product crosslinked dimers. This is necessary. When the amount of the organic ligand used is less than 30 equivalents, a large amount of cross-linked dimer is by-produced as seen in Comparative Examples described later, and the yield of the desired orthometalated iridium complex is lowered. Thus, when the amount of the organic ligand used is stoichiometrically 30 equivalents or more with respect to the iridium halide, the amount of by-product dimer is effectively suppressed, and the orthometalated iridium complex is mainly used. Being a product is a matter that has never been known before, and is a new finding that has been found for the first time by the accumulation of numerous detailed experiments by the present inventors.
The reason why the production amount of the by-product dimer is effectively suppressed by taking such measures in the present invention, and the reason why the orthometalated iridium complex is obtained in a high yield, high purity, and in a short time is unclear at present. However, the organic ligand added in large excess not only functions as a ligand, but also functions as a base, promoting the deprotonation process from the organic ligand in the orthometalation reaction. For the reason.
