Description

Organometallic complex, and use its electroluminescent material and electroluminescent cell
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of novel organometallic complex.Particularly relate to and triplet excited state can be changed into luminous organometallic complex.In addition, the present invention relates to use the electroluminescent material of above-mentioned organometallic complex.And then, the invention still further relates to the electroluminescent cell that uses above-mentioned organometallic complex, this luminous element has anode, negative electrode and contains a class can be by applying the layer (hereinafter referred to as " electroluminescent layer ") that electric field produces luminous organic compound.
Background technology
Organic compound (organic molecule) is in case absorb light will be transformed into the state (excited state) with energy.By via this excited state, might cause various reactions (photochemical reaction), cause luminous (luminescence), thereby can be used for various application.
As one of photochemical reaction example, can enumerate the reaction (oxygen addition) (for example with reference to non-patent literature 1) of singlet oxygen and unsaturated organic molecule.Because the ground state of oxygen molecule is triplet state, therefore, the oxygen (singlet oxygen) of a heavy attitude can not directly generate by optical excitation.Yet, other the triplet excited state molecule in the presence of just can generate singlet oxygen, and can cause the oxygen addition reaction.At this moment, the compound that can form above-mentioned triplet excited state molecule is called as photosensitizer.
3 people such as (non-patent literature 1) aboveground fine husband, Basic chemistry Courses, photochemistry I (ball is apt to Co., Ltd.), 106-110.Therefore, in order to generate singlet oxygen, must existence can form the photosensitizer of triplet excited state molecule by optical excitation.Yet, because the ground state of common organic compound is singlet, therefore, become forbidden transition jing towards the optical excitation of triplet excited state, be difficult to generate triplet excited state molecule (generating a heavy excited state molecule usually).Thereby as such photosensitizer, people's demand is a kind of to be caused easily from the compound of reporting to the leadship after accomplishing a task between the energy state of a heavy excited state and triplet excited state the compound of direct light activated forbidden transition jing towards triplet excited state (or break).In other words, such compound might be utilized as photosensitizer, can be described as useful compound.
In addition, such compound usually can be emitted phosphorescence.Phosphorescence be a kind of owing to the transition between the different-energy of multiplicity cause luminous, for common organic compound, be meant luminous (with respect to this, the luminous fluorescence that then is called when returning to a weight ground state) that when returning to a weight ground state by triplet excited state, produces by a heavy excited state.Can emit the compound of phosphorescence, just triplet excited state can be transformed into luminous compound (hereinafter referred to as " phosphorescent compounds "),, can enumerate and use the electroluminescent cell of organic compound as luminance compound as its Application Areas.
This electroluminescent cell since its have that thin form is in light weight, the characteristic of high-speed response, DC low-voltage driving etc., therefore be a kind of as a new generation flat panel displaying element and noticeable equipment.In addition, because of it is that emissive type and field-of-view angle are wide, sharpness is better, can think that therefore it can effectively use element as the display frame of handheld device.
When organic compound was used as twinkler, the luminous mechanism of electroluminescent cell was a carrier wave injection type.Promptly, electroluminescent layer in clamping between two electrodes, by to two electrode application voltage, make by the negative electrode injected electrons with combine again in electroluminescent layer by the anode injected holes, form excited molecule, when this excited molecule returns to ground state, just emit energy and simultaneously luminous.
As the kind of excited molecule, same with above-mentioned light activated situation, may be a heavy excited state (S *) and triplet excited state (T *).In addition, can think, in electroluminescent cell, S *With T *Statistics to produce ratio be S *: T *=1: 3 (for example with reference to non-patent literatures 2).
(non-patent literature 2) tube well wise man husband, Applied Physics association, the meeting of organic molecule biological electronics branch, the 3rd seminar textbook, 31-37 (1993)
Yet general organic compound does not observe luminous (phosphorescence) by triplet excited state at ambient temperature, can only observe luminous (fluorescence) by a heavy excited state usually.The ground state of organic compound is a heavy ground state (S normally 0), therefore, T *→ S 0Transition (phosphorescence process) become strong forbidden transition jing, and S *→ S 0Transition (fluorescence process) then becomes permitted transition.
Therefore, the theoretical boundary of the internal quantum in electroluminescent cell (photon of generation is to the ratio of injected carrier) is with S *: T *=1: 3 for according to the time be defined as 25%.
, if use above-mentioned phosphorescent compounds, then can allow T *→ S 0Transition (phosphorescence process), therefore, it is possible in theory that inner quantum effect reaches 75~100%.That is to say that luminous efficiency might reach in the past 3~4 times.In fact, the report about the electroluminescent cell that uses phosphorescent compounds has been arranged in succession, the height of its luminous efficiency make one notice (for example with reference to non-patent literature 3, non-patent literature 4).
3 people such as (non-patent literature 3) D.F. オ Block ラ イ エ Application, " applied physics communication " (ア プ ラ イ De Off イ ジ Network ス レ one ズ), Vol.74, No.3,442-444 (1999)
8 people such as (non-patent literature 4) ラ Star オ ッ Star イ, " Japanese applicating physical magazine " (ジ ヤ パ ニ one ズ ジ ヤ one Na Le オ Block ア プ ラ イ De Off イ ジ Network ス), Vol.38, L1502-L1504 (1999)
Use a class with the metalloporphyrin complex of platinum as central metal in non-patent literature 3, and use a class with the organometallic complex of iridium as central metal in non-patent literature 4, any title complex wherein all is a phosphorescent compounds.
In addition, contain with iridium as the layer of the organometallic complex (hereinafter referred to as " complex of iridium ") of central metal and layer alternately lamination that contains as the DCM2 of known fluorescence compound by making, can so also help luminous (for example with reference to the non-patent literature 5) of DCM2 so that the triplet excitation energy that generates moves to DCM2 in complex of iridium.In this case, the amount (generally below 25%) of the heavy excited state of DCM2 is compared broadening to some extent with normal conditions, and the luminous efficiency of DCM2 is increased.This also can be described as because as the cause of the sensibilized of the iridium ligand of phosphorescent compounds.
2 people such as (non-patent literature 5) M.A. バ Le De, nature (London), Vol.403,750-753 (2000)
Shown in non-patent literature 3~non-patent literature 5, use the electroluminescent cell of phosphorescent compounds can reach than higher in the past luminous efficiency (that is, can be issued to high brightness) in less current.Therefore, can think, use the electroluminescent cell of phosphorescent compounds, as the method that is used to reach high brightness luminescent, high-luminous-efficiency, in exploitation from now on significant.
As mentioned above, phosphorescent compounds causes reporting to the leadship after accomplishing a task between energy state easily, and cause luminous (phosphorescence) by triplet excited state easily, therefore can be used as the photosensitizer utilization, perhaps can be used as phosphor material and be applicable to electroluminescent cell, be the compound that class people are expected, but this compounds is very few for number, this is present present situation.
In for the very few phosphorescent compounds of number, the complex of iridium that uses in non-patent literature 4 or the non-patent literature 5 is to be called a kind of in the organometallic complex of ortho position (ortho) metal complexes.Because the phosphorescent lifetime of this title complex is hundreds of nanoseconds, and the yield of phosphorescence quantum is also high, therefore, compare with above-mentioned metalloporphyrin complex, it is less that complex of iridium is accompanied by the rise reduction degree of the efficient caused of brightness, so be a kind of effective electroluminescent cell.On this meaning, such organometallic complex be a kind of cause easily that the direct sunshine towards triplet excited state excites or energy state between the compound of reporting to the leadship after accomplishing a task, we can say that also this is a pointer that is used for synthetic phosphorescent compounds.
The texture ratio of the ligand of the complex of iridium that uses in non-patent literature 4 or non-patent literature 5 is more simple, shows the good green emitting of purity of color, for illuminant colour being changed over other colors, just must change the structure of ligand.For example, in non-patent literature 6, synthesize various ligands and use this ligand to synthesize complex of iridium, and realized some kinds of glow colors.
10 people such as (non-patent literature 6) M. ト Application プ ソ Application, the 10th time the world about inorganic and organic field luminescence is topic discussion (EL ' 00), 35-38.
Yet these ligands almost are only limited to those can form pentacyclic ligand with central metal, and present present situation is that people are exploring from the suitable illuminant colour that wherein sends.That is to say, still have the still less problem of kind of the ligand that is suitable for.
In addition, the majority in these ligands all is difficult to synthesize, and perhaps needed step is more in synthetic, so also causes the cost of material itself to rise.Consider that from the viewpoint of cost the yield of organometallic complex itself also is important.
In addition, organometallic complex generally all decomposes easily.Even be not easy to decompose, its decomposition temperature can be very not high yet.Therefore that is to say the shortage thermotolerance, often become problem in the time of in being applied to the electronics of electroluminescent cell etc.
In sum, people need a class to be easy to that the synthetic ligand is applicatory, its synthetic yield good and the also good organometallic complex of thermotolerance.By synthetic such organometallic complex, can obtain high photosensitizer of thermotolerance or phosphor material etc. at an easy rate.
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a class and use synthetic ligand and the good novel organometallic complex of yield of being easy to.In addition, purpose of the present invention particularly will provide a kind of new organometallic complex of excellent heat resistance.
And the objective of the invention is to provide a class luminous efficiency high electroluminescent cell by using above-mentioned organometallic complex to make electroluminescent cell.And then, the objective of the invention is and will make light-emitting device, to provide a class consumed power low light-emitting device by using above-mentioned electroluminescent cell.
