Description

The present invention relates to compounds, compositions, organic electroluminescence devices, and electronic devices.

When a voltage is applied to an organic electroluminescence device (hereinafter, may be referred to as an “organic EL device”), holes are injected from the anode and electrons are injected from the cathode into the light emitting layer. Then, in the light emitting layer, the injected holes and electrons are recombined to form excitons. At this time, according to the statistical law of electron spin, singlet excitons are generated at a rate of 25%, and triplet excitons are generated at a rate of 75%.
Fluorescent organic EL devices that use light emitted from singlet excitons are being applied to full-color displays such as mobile phones and televisions, but are said to have an internal quantum efficiency of 25% as a limit. It is expected that the organic EL device will emit light more efficiently by using triplet excitons in addition to singlet excitons.

Against this background, highly efficient fluorescent organic EL devices using delayed fluorescence have been proposed and studied.
For example, the TADF (Thermally Activated Fluorescence) mechanism has been studied. In this TADF mechanism, when a material having a small energy difference (ΔST) between the singlet level and the triplet level is used, the inverse intersystem crossing from the triplet exciton to the singlet exciton occurs thermally. It is a mechanism that utilizes the phenomenon. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence is described, for example, in "Chihaya Adachi," Device Properties of Organic Semiconductors, "Kodansha, April 1, 2012, pp. 261-262". An organic EL device using this TADF mechanism is disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1, for example.

The organic EL device disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1 includes a TADF compound as an assist dopant and a perylene derivative (TBPe; 2,5,8,11-tetra-tert-butylperylene) as a light emitting material.
), And a light emitting layer containing DPEPO (bis-(2- (diphenylphosphino) phenyl) ether oxide) as a host material. This light emitting layer emits blue light.

Further, in the conventional fluorescent type organic EL element, research on a light emitting material for a blue light emitting element has been made. Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, and Patent Document 4 describe acenaft [1,2-k] benzo [e] acephenanthrene derivatives as organic compounds used for blue light emitting elements. ..
Further, in Patent Document 5, research is conducted on a light emitting material for a green light emitting device in a conventional fluorescent type organic EL device. Patent Document 5 describes an acenaft [1,2-k] benzo [e] acephenanthrene derivative as an organic compound used for a green light emitting device.
The organic compounds described in Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, and Patent Document 5 are used as a light emitting material in a conventional fluorescent type organic EL element. The organic EL elements in Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, and Patent Document 5 do not utilize the TADF mechanism.

• Delayed Fluorescence Delayed Fluorescence (Thermal Activated Delayed Fluorescence) is described on pages 261-268 of "Device Physical Properties of Organic Semiconductors" (edited by Chihaya Adachi, published by Kodansha). In that document, if the energy difference ΔE ₁₃ between the excited singlet state and the excited triplet state of a fluorescent material can be reduced, the reverse energy from the excited triplet state, which usually has a low transition probability, to the excited singlet state. It has been described that migration occurs with high efficiency and Thermally Activated Fluorescence (TADF) is expressed. Further, FIG. 10.38 in the document describes the mechanism of delayed fluorescence generation. The first compound in this embodiment is a compound exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence generated by such a mechanism.
The emission of delayed fluorescence can be confirmed by transient PL (Photoluminescence) measurement.

The behavior of delayed fluorescence can also be analyzed based on the decay curve obtained from transient PL measurement. Transient PL measurement is a method of irradiating a sample with a pulse laser to excite it and measuring the attenuation behavior (transient characteristics) of PL light emission after the irradiation is stopped. PL light emission in TADF materials is classified into a light emitting component from a singlet exciton generated by the first PL excitation and a light emitting component from a singlet exciton generated via a triplet exciton. The lifetime of singlet excitons generated by the first PL excitation is on the nanosecond order and is very short. Therefore, the light emission from the singlet exciton is rapidly attenuated after irradiation with the pulse laser.
On the other hand, delayed fluorescence is slowly attenuated due to emission from singlet excitons generated via triplet excitons having a long lifetime. As described above, there is a large time difference between the light emission from the singlet exciton generated by the first PL excitation and the light emission from the singlet exciton generated via the triplet exciton. Therefore, the emission intensity derived from delayed fluorescence can be obtained.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of an exemplary device for measuring transient PL.
The transient PL measuring device 100 of the present embodiment includes a pulse laser unit 101 capable of irradiating light having a predetermined wavelength, a sample chamber 102 accommodating a measurement sample, a spectroscope 103 that disperses light emitted from the measurement sample, and the like. A streak camera 104 for forming a two-dimensional image and a personal computer 105 for capturing and analyzing the two-dimensional image are provided. The measurement of transient PL is not limited to the apparatus described in this embodiment.
The sample accommodated in the sample chamber 102 is obtained by forming a thin film on a quartz substrate in which a doping material is doped at a concentration of 12% by mass with respect to the matrix material.
The thin film sample housed in the sample chamber 102 is irradiated with a pulse laser from the pulse laser unit 101 to excite the doping material. Light is emitted in a direction of 90 degrees with respect to the irradiation direction of the excitation light, the extracted light is separated by the spectroscope 103, and a two-dimensional image is formed in the streak camera 104. As a result, it is possible to obtain a two-dimensional image in which the vertical axis corresponds to time, the horizontal axis corresponds to wavelength, and the bright spot corresponds to emission intensity. When this two-dimensional image is cut out on a predetermined time axis, it is possible to obtain an emission spectrum in which the vertical axis is the emission intensity and the horizontal axis is the wavelength. Further, when the two-dimensional image is cut out on the wavelength axis, an attenuation curve (transient PL) in which the vertical axis is the logarithm of the emission intensity and the horizontal axis is the time can be obtained.

For example, the following reference compound H1 was used as the matrix material, and the following reference compound D1 was used as the doping material to prepare a thin film sample A as described above, and transient PL measurement was performed.

Here, the attenuation curves were analyzed using the above-mentioned thin film sample A and thin film sample B. For the thin film sample B, the following reference compound H2 was used as the matrix material, and the reference compound D1 was used as the doping material to prepare a thin film sample as described above.
FIG. 3 shows the attenuation curves obtained from the transient PLs measured for the thin film sample A and the thin film sample B.

By transient PL measurement as described above, it is possible to obtain an emission attenuation curve in which the vertical axis is the emission intensity and the horizontal axis is the time. Based on this emission attenuation curve, the fluorescence intensity of fluorescence emitted from the singlet excited state generated by photoexcitation and delayed fluorescence emitted from the singlet excited state generated by reverse energy transfer via the triplet excited state. The ratio can be estimated. In delayed fluorescence materials, the ratio of the intensity of slow-decaying fluorescence to the intensity of fast-decaying fluorescence is somewhat large.
The delayed fluorescence emission amount in this embodiment can be determined using the apparatus shown in FIG. The first compound is excited by pulsed light (light emitted from a pulse laser) having a wavelength absorbed by the first compound, and then is immediately observed from the excited state with Prompt emission (immediate emission). , There is a laser emission (delayed emission) that is not observed immediately after the excitation but is observed thereafter. In the present embodiment, the amount of Prompt luminescence (immediate emission) and _{X P,} the amount of Delay emission (delayed luminescence) is taken as _{X D,} the value of X D / _{X P} is 0.05 or more Is preferable.
The amount of Prompt emission and Delay emission can be determined by the same method as described in "Nature 492, 234-238, 2012". The device used to calculate the amount of Prompt light emission and Delay light emission is not limited to the device described in the above document.
Further, as a sample used for measuring delayed fluorescence, for example, the first compound and the following compound TH-2 are co-deposited on a quartz substrate so that the ratio of the first compound is 12% by mass. A sample in which a thin film having a film thickness of 100 nm is formed can be used.

-Method for producing the first compound For the first compound, for example, Chemical Communications, p. 10385-10387 (2013) and NATURE Photonics, p. It can be produced by the method described in 326-332 (2014).

Further, for example, the first compound can be produced by using a known alternative reaction or raw material suitable for the target product, following the reaction described in Examples described later.

Specific examples of the first compound according to this embodiment are shown below. The first compound in the present invention is not limited to these specific examples.

The range of the main peak wavelength of the second compound is preferably 430 nm or more and 480 nm or less, and more preferably 445 nm or more and 480 nm or less.
In the present specification, the main peak wavelength means that the emission intensity in the measured emission spectrum is the maximum for a toluene solution in which the compound to be measured is dissolved at a concentration of ^10-6 mol / liter or more and ^10-5 mol / liter or less. Refers to the peak wavelength of the emission spectrum.

The second compound is preferably a material having a high emission quantum yield.

<Relationship between the first compound and the second compound in the light emitting layer>
When the first compound is a compound exhibiting delayed fluorescence, the singlet energy S ₁ (M1) of the first compound and the singlet energy S ₁ (M2) of the second compound are the following mathematical formulas (numbers). It is preferable to satisfy the relationship of 1).
S ₁ (M1)> S ₁ (M2) ... (Equation 1)

The energy gap T _77K (M1) at 77 [K] of the first compound is preferably larger than the energy gap T _77K (M2) at 77 [K] of the second compound. That is, it is preferable to satisfy the relationship of the following mathematical formula (Equation 4).
T _77K (M1)> T _77K (M2) ... ( _Equation 4)

When the organic EL element 1 of the present embodiment is made to emit light, it is preferable that the second compound mainly emits light in the light emitting layer 5.

-Relationship between triplet energy and energy gap at 77 [K] Here, the relationship between triplet energy and the energy gap at 77 [K] will be described. In this embodiment, the energy gap at 77 [K] differs from the normally defined triplet energy.
The triplet energy measurement is performed as follows. First, a sample in which a solution in which a compound to be measured is dissolved in an appropriate solvent is sealed in a quartz glass tube is prepared. For this sample, the phosphorescence spectrum (vertical axis: phosphorescence emission intensity, horizontal axis: wavelength) was measured at a low temperature (77 [K]), and a tangent line was drawn with respect to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side. The triple term energy is calculated from a predetermined conversion formula based on the wavelength value of the intersection of the tangent line and the horizontal axis.
Here, the delayed fluorescent compound used in this embodiment is preferably a compound having a small ΔST. When ΔST is small, intersystem crossing and inverse intersystem crossing are likely to occur even in a low temperature (77 [K]) state, and an excited singlet state and an excited triplet state coexist. As a result, the spectrum measured in the same manner as described above contains light emission from both the excited singlet state and the excited triplet state, and it is difficult to distinguish from which state the light is emitted. Basically, the value of triplet energy is considered to be dominant.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the measurement method is the same as that of the normal triplet energy T, but in order to distinguish the difference in the strict sense, the value measured as follows is referred to as the energy gap T _77K. .. The compound to be measured is dissolved in EPA (diethyl ether: isopentane: ethanol = 5: 5: 2 (volume ratio)) so as to have a concentration of 10 μmol / L, and this solution is placed in a quartz cell for measurement. Use as a sample. For this measurement sample, the phosphorescence spectrum (vertical axis: phosphorescence emission intensity, horizontal axis: wavelength) is measured at a low temperature (77 [K]), and a tangent line is drawn with respect to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side. Based on the wavelength value λ _edge [nm] at the intersection of the tangent line and the horizontal axis, the amount of energy calculated from the following conversion formula (F1) is defined as the energy gap T _77K at 77 [K].
Conversion formula (F1): T _77K [eV] = 1239.85 / λ _edge

The tangent to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side is drawn as follows. When moving on the spectrum curve from the short wavelength side of the phosphorescent spectrum to the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side of the maximum values of the spectrum, consider the tangents at each point on the curve toward the long wavelength side. This tangent increases in slope as the curve rises (ie, as the vertical axis increases). The tangent line drawn at the point where the value of the slope reaches the maximum value (that is, the tangent line at the inflection point) is the tangent line to the rising edge of the phosphorescence spectrum on the short wavelength side.
The maximum point having a peak intensity of 15% or less of the maximum peak intensity of the spectrum is not included in the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side described above, and the slope value closest to the maximum value on the shortest wavelength side is the maximum. The tangent line drawn at the point where the value is taken is taken as the tangent line to the rising edge of the phosphorescent spectrum on the short wavelength side.
The F-4500 type spectrofluorometer main body manufactured by Hitachi High-Technology Co., Ltd. can be used for the measurement of phosphorescence. The measuring device is not limited to this, and may be measured by combining a cooling device, a low temperature container, an excitation light source, and a light receiving device.

・ Singlet energy S ₁
The method of measuring the solution using a singlet energy S ₁ (hereinafter sometimes referred to as solution method.), A method described below.
A 10 μmol / L toluene solution of the compound to be measured is prepared, placed in a quartz cell, and the absorption spectrum (vertical axis: emission intensity, horizontal axis: wavelength) of this sample is measured at room temperature (300 K). A tangent line is drawn for the fall on the long wavelength side of this absorption spectrum, and the wavelength value λedge [nm] at the intersection of the tangent line and the horizontal axis is substituted into the conversion formula (F2) shown below to calculate the singlet energy. To do.
Conversion formula (F2): S ₁ [eV] = 1239.85 / λedge
Examples of the absorption spectrum measuring device include, but are not limited to, a spectrophotometer (device name: U3310) manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.

The tangent to the fall on the long wavelength side of the absorption spectrum is drawn as follows. When moving on the spectrum curve from the maximum value on the longest wavelength side to the long wavelength direction among the maximum values of the absorption spectrum, consider the tangents at each point on the curve. This tangent repeats that the slope decreases and then increases as the curve descends (ie, as the value on the vertical axis decreases). The tangent line drawn at the point where the slope value takes the minimum value on the longest wavelength side (except when the absorbance is 0.1 or less) is defined as the tangent line to the fall of the long wavelength side of the absorption spectrum.
The maximum point having an absorbance value of 0.2 or less is not included in the maximum value on the longest wavelength side.

S1 (M2) represents the lowest excited singlet state of the second compound. T1 (M2) represents the lowest excited triplet state of the second compound.
The dashed arrow from S1 (M1) to S1 (M2) in FIG. 4 represents the Felster-type energy transfer from the lowest excited singlet state of the first compound to the second compound.
As shown in FIG. 4, when a compound having a small ΔST (M1) is used as the first compound, the lowest excited triplet state T1 (M1) is inverted to the lowest excited singlet state S1 (M1) by thermal energy. Intersystem crossing is possible. Then, Felster-type energy transfer from the lowest excited singlet state S1 (M1) of the first compound to the second compound occurs, and the lowest excited singlet state S1 (M2) is generated. As a result, fluorescence emission from the lowest excited singlet state S1 (M2) of the second compound can be observed.

<Compound synthesis>
-Synthesis Example 1: Synthesis of compound BD-1

In a three-necked flask, 1.0 g (1.65 mmol) of the raw material (SM-1: isomer mixture), 0.45 g (1.98 mmol) of dibenzothiophene-4-boronic acid, 2.5 mL of a 2M sodium carbonate aqueous solution, and 20 mL of toluene were placed. In addition, 0.08 g (0.07 mmol) of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium was further added, and the mixture was heated and stirred at 90 ° C. for 7 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. After heating and stirring, the temperature was returned to room temperature, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration. The obtained solid was dissolved in toluene, silica gel was added, and the mixture was stirred, then filtered and concentrated to obtain BD-1. The yield was 0.62 g and the yield was 52%.
As a result of FD-MS (Field Desorption Mass Spectrometery) analysis, m / e = 710 with respect to the molecular weight of 710. It should be noted that the starting material (SM-1) was derived from the isomer mixture (mixture of SM-1a and SM-1b), and BD-1 was a mixture of BD-1a and BD-1b. However, in the reaction formula of Example 1 of this synthesis, only the structure of SM-1a is represented as "SM-1", and only the structure of BD-1a is shown as "BD-1". The same applies to the following synthesis examples.

-Synthesis Example 2: Synthesis of compound BD-2

To a three-necked flask, 2.0 g (3.29 mmol) of the raw material (SM-1: isomer mixture), 0.84 g (3.95 mmol) of dibenzofuran-4-boronic acid, 5 mL of a 2M sodium carbonate aqueous solution, and 20 mL of toluene were added. Then, 0.16 g (0.14 mmol) of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium was further added, and the mixture was heated and stirred at 90 ° C. for 7 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. After heating and stirring, the temperature was returned to room temperature, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration. The obtained solid was dissolved in toluene, silica gel was added, and the mixture was stirred, then filtered and concentrated to obtain BD-2. The yield was 2.08 g and the yield was 91%.
As a result of FD-MS (Field Deposition Mass Spectrometery) analysis, it was m / e = 694 with respect to the molecular weight of 694. Since the starting material (SM-1) was an isomer mixture (a mixture of SM-1a and SM-1b), BD-2 was a mixture of BD-2a and BD-2b.

Next, 1.73 g (1.5 mmol) of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium was further added to the three-necked flask, and the mixture was heated under reflux and stirred under an argon atmosphere for 8 hours. After heating under reflux and stirring, the organic layer was separated. The separated organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography. A toluene solvent was used as the developing solvent. After purification, the obtained solid was suspended and washed with methanol to obtain Intermediate A as a white solid. The yield was 11.6 g and the yield was 71%.

(2) Synthesis of compound TADF-1

Then, the mixture was heated and stirred at 150 ° C. for 20 hours in an argon atmosphere. After heating and stirring, the reaction solution was poured into 200 mL of water, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration. Then, this solid was repeatedly suspended and washed with ethanol to obtain the desired product (compound TADF-1) as a white solid. The yield was 6.3 g and the yield was 54%. As a result of FD-MS analysis, m / e = 474 with respect to the molecular weight of 474.
