Definitions

• the present invention relates to the use of soluble copper (I) complex (Cu (I) complexes) as emitters in OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes) and in other optoelectronic arrangements.
• This new technology is based on the principle of OLEDs, Organic Light Emitting Diodes.
• the use of special metal-organic materials (molecules) many new optoelectronic applications, eg. As in the field of organic solar cell, organic field effect transistors, organic photodiodes, etc. from.
• OLEDs consist predominantly of organic layers, which are also flexible and inexpensive to manufacture.
• OLED components can be designed over a large area as lighting fixtures, but also as small pixels for displays.
• LCDs liquid crystal displays
• CRTs cathode ray tubes
• OLEDs have numerous advantages, such as a low operating voltage of a few volts, a thin structure of a few hundred nm, highly efficient self-luminous Pixels, a high contrast and a good resolution as well as the possibility to display all colors.
• an OLED light is generated directly when applying electrical voltage, instead of only modulating it.
• FIG. 1 shows a basic structure of an OLED. Due to the applied external voltage on a transparent indium-tin-oxide anode (ITO) and a thin metal cathode are injected by the anode positive holes and the cathode negative electrons. These differently charged charge carriers enter the emission layer via intermediate layers, which may also include here not drawn hole or electron blocking layers. There, the oppositely charged charge carriers meet at or near doped emitter molecules and recombine. As a rule, the emitter molecules are embedded in matrix molecules or polymer matrices (in, for example, 2 to 10% by weight), the matrix materials being selected such that they also facilitate hole and electron transport.
• ITO indium-tin-oxide anode
• a thin metal cathode are injected by the anode positive holes and the cathode negative electrons.
• These differently charged charge carriers enter the emission layer via intermediate layers, which may also include here not drawn hole or electron blocking layers.
• the oppositely charged charge carriers meet at or near doped emitter molecules
• This electroluminescent compound can then go into a specific electronic excited state, which is then converted as completely as possible and largely avoiding radiation-free deactivation processes by emitting light in the associated ground state.
• an electronic excited state which can also be formed by energy transfer from a suitable precursor exciton, comes, with a few exceptions, either a singlet or a triplet state, consisting of three sub-states into consideration. Since both states are usually occupied in a ratio of 1: 3 due to the spin statistics, it follows that for an emission from the singlet state, which is referred to as fluorescence, only a maximum of 25% of the excitons produced lead to emission again.
• triplet emission which is referred to as phosphorescence
• all excitons are exploited, converted and emitted as light (triplet harvesting), so that in this case the internal quantum efficiency can reach the value of 100%, if the excited with and energetically over the triplet state singlet state completely relaxed in the triplet state (inter-system crossing, ISC) and radiationless competition processes remain meaningless.
• ISC inter-system crossing
• the triplet emitters suitable for triplet harvesting typically employ transition metal complex compounds in which the metal is selected from the third period of the transition metals. These are predominantly very expensive precious metals such as iridium, platinum or gold. (See also H. Yersin, Top. Curr. Chem. 2004, 241, 1 and MA Baldo, DF O'Brien, ME Thompson, SR Forrest, Phys. Rev. B 1999, 60, 14422).
• the main reason for this is the high spin-orbit coupling (SBK) of the noble metal central ions (SBK constant Ir (III): “4000 cm “1 ; Pt (II): “4500 cm “1 ; Au (I) ..
• the object of the invention is achieved by the Cu (I) compounds described here. That is, the invention involves the creation and provision of new Cu (I) compounds that exhibit the following combination of properties:
• Alkanes also halogenated alkanes such as pentane, hexane, heptane, including branched alkanes,
• Aromatic hydrocarbons whether or not halogenated: benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene
• the copper (I) complex is particularly soluble in particular in at least one of the following solvents: polar hydrocarbons such as. For example, dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, perchlorethylene, toluene, chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, acetone, Methyl ethyl ketone, nitromethane, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, methanol and ethanol.
• polar hydrocarbons such as. For example, dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, perchlorethylene, toluene, chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, acetone, Methyl ethyl ketone
• Fig. 2a is an energy level scheme for transition metal complexes with small or little impact spin-bonding coupling (eg metal complexes of the first period of the transition metals or metal complexes with ligand-centered triplet states ) shown schematically. Based on this scheme, the photophysical electroluminescence properties of these molecules will be explained.
• the hole-electron recombination leads to a statistical average of 25% for the occupation of the singlet state (1 singlet path) and 75% for the occupation of AEi (Si-Ti) deeper lying triplet state (3 triplet paths).
• the Si-state excitation relaxes into the Ti state as a result of the inter-system crossing (ISC) process, which typically occurs faster than in 10 " 12 s when the transition between metal-organic complexes occurs of the triplet state is very long for these metal complexes of the first period of the transition metals (eg 100 ⁇ 8 to 1000 ⁇ 8 or longer). Emitters with such long decay times are hardly suitable for OLED applications.
• ISC inter-system crossing
• the disadvantage of the above-described prior art can be avoided by choosing Cu (I) complexes which have an AE 2 (Si-Ti) value between the lowest excited singlet (SO 2 and the underlying triplet (Ti) have state of less than 2500 cm '1.
• This is illustrated by the example shown in Fig. 2b energy level diagram for Cu (I) complexes.
• This energy difference is small enough to provide a thermal back occupation of the Si-state from the Ti-state in accordance with a Boltzmann distribution and of the thermal energy k T ß allow. in order to have a thermally activated light emission from the Si state.
• This process proceeds in accordance with equation (1)
• AE Si-Ti
• AE 2 Si-T0 according to FIG. 2b.
• x (Si) is the fluorescence lifetime with no reoccupation
• x av is the emission lifetime determined when the reoccurrence channel is opened by the two states Ti and Si (see Fig. 2b). The other sizes have been defined above.
• Equation (2) should again be explained by a numerical example.
• AE (Si - Ti) 800 cm “1 and a decay of the fluorescent Si state of 50 ns, the emission decay time (of the two states) of x av ⁇ 2 ⁇ 8 is shorter Most very good Ir (III) or Pt (II) triplet emitters.
• the Cu (I) complexes according to the invention having the properties described above, ie having a small singlet-triplet energy difference AE (Si-Ti), are preferably to be described by the general formula A given below.
• the electronic transitions that control the optical behavior of these Cu (I) complexes show a pronounced metal-to-ligand charge-transfer character. With this transition type is a relatively small value of the - known in the art - quantum mechanical exchange integral connected. This then results in the desired small energy difference AE (Si-Ti).
• the invention relates to a method for selecting Cu (I) complexes whose AE (Si-Ti) value lies between the lowest excited singlet (SO) and the underlying triplet state (TO less than 2500 cm ). 1 , preferably less than 1500 cm “1 , more preferably less than 1000 cm “ 1 , very particularly preferably less than 500 cm "1 is.
• AE Si -TO value
• the energy difference AE (Si-Ti), in particular the complexes described by the formula A, can be described approximately quantum mechanically by the so-called exchange integral multiplied by the factor 2. Its value depends directly on the expressiveness of the so-called charge-transfer character involving the metal d orbitals and the ligand 7T * orbitals. That is, an electronic transition between the different orbitals represents a metal to ligand charge transfer (CT) transition. The smaller the overlap of the molecular orbitals described above, the more pronounced is the electronic charge transfer character. This is then associated with a decrease in the exchange integral and thus a decrease in the energy difference AE (Si-Ti).
• the energy differences according to the invention can be achieved with AE (Si-Ti) less than 2500 cm -1 or less than 1500 cm -1 or less than 1000 cm -1 even less than 500 cm -1 .
• the respective transitions are easily identified, since the triplet band is at lower energy than the singlet band and gains in intensity with decreasing temperature.
• the measurements are carried out in oxygen-free dilute solutions (about 10 -2 mol L-1) or on thin films of the corresponding molecules or on films doped with the corresponding molecules. If a solution is used as the sample, it is advisable to use a solvent or solvent mixture which forms glasses at low temperatures, such as 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, butyronitrile, toluene, ethanol or aliphatic hydrocarbons. If a film is used as a sample, the use of a matrix with a significantly higher singlet and triplet energy than that of the Cu (I) complexes (emitter molecules), eg. B. PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate). This film can be applied from solution.
• the line slope is -AE (Si-Ti) / k B.
• a simple, approximate estimation of the AE (Si-Ti) value can also be carried out by recording the fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra at low temperature (eg 77 K or 4.2 K using a cryostat).
• the AE (Si-Ti) value then corresponds approximately to the energy difference between the high-energy rising edges of the fluorescence or phosphorescence band.
• Another method of determining the AE (Si-Ti) value is by measuring the emission decay times with a commercial meter.
