Description

可交聯之銥錯合物及使用其之有機發光裝置 Crosslinkable ruthenium complex and organic light-emitting device using same

本發明係關於有機發光裝置(OLED),且更特定言之係關於使用某些金屬錯合物之有機發光裝置。 The present invention relates to organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), and more particularly to organic light-emitting devices using certain metal complexes.

出於許多原因,愈發需要利用有機材料之光電裝置。許多用於製造該等裝置之材料相對廉價,因此有機光電裝置具有超越無機裝置之成本優勢潛能。此外,有機材料之固有特性(諸如其可撓性)可使其極其適於特定應用,諸如製造可撓性基板。有機光電裝置之實例包括有機發光裝置(OLED)、有機光電晶體、有機光電電池及有機光偵測器。對於OLED而言,有機材料可具有超越習知材料之效能優勢。舉例而言,有機發射層發光之波長通常可易於以適當摻雜劑來調節。 Optoelectronic devices utilizing organic materials are increasingly needed for a number of reasons. Many of the materials used to make such devices are relatively inexpensive, and thus organic optoelectronic devices have the potential to exceed the cost advantages of inorganic devices. Furthermore, the inherent properties of the organic material, such as its flexibility, can make it extremely suitable for a particular application, such as making a flexible substrate. Examples of organic optoelectronic devices include organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), organic optoelectronic crystals, organic photovoltaic cells, and organic photodetectors. For OLEDs, organic materials can have performance advantages over conventional materials. For example, the wavelength at which the organic emissive layer emits light can generally be readily adjusted with appropriate dopants.

如本文中所用,術語"有機物"包括可用以製造有機光電裝置之聚合材料以及小分子有機材料。"小分子"係指並非聚合物之任何有機材料,且"小分子"實際上可相當大。在某些情況下小分子可包括重複單元。舉例而言,使用長鏈烷基作為取代基並不使分子自"小分子"類剔除。小分子亦可(例如)作為聚合物主鏈上之側基或作為主鏈之部分併入聚合物中。小分子亦可充當由在核心部分上構建之一系列化學殼組成之樹枝狀聚合物的核心部分。樹枝狀聚合物之核心部分可為螢光或磷光小分子發射體。樹枝狀聚合物可為"小分子",且咸信目前用於 OLED領域之所有樹枝狀聚合物均為小分子。一般而言,小分子具有定義明確之具有單一分子量之化學式,而聚合物具有各分子間可不同之化學式及分子量。如本文中所用,"有機物"包括烴基及經雜原子取代之烴基配位子的金屬錯合物。 As used herein, the term "organic" includes polymeric materials and small molecular organic materials that can be used to make organic optoelectronic devices. "Small molecule" refers to any organic material that is not a polymer, and "small molecules" can actually be quite large. In some cases small molecules may include repeating units. For example, the use of a long chain alkyl group as a substituent does not allow the molecule to be rejected from the "small molecule" class. Small molecules can also be incorporated into the polymer, for example, as pendant groups on the polymer backbone or as part of the backbone. Small molecules can also serve as a core part of a dendrimer composed of a series of chemical shells built on the core. The core portion of the dendrimer can be a fluorescent or phosphorescent small molecule emitter. Dendrimers can be "small molecules" and are currently used All dendrimers in the OLED field are small molecules. In general, small molecules have well-defined chemical formulas with a single molecular weight, while polymers have different chemical formulas and molecular weights between molecules. As used herein, "organic" includes metal complexes of hydrocarbyl and heteroatom-substituted hydrocarbyl ligands.

OLED利用當橫過裝置施加電壓時發光之有機薄膜。OLED正成為適用於諸如平板顯示器、照明及背光之應用的愈發受關注技術。美國專利第5,844,363號、第6,303,238號及第5,707,745號中描述若干種OLED材料及組態,該等專利係以引用的方式全部併入本文中。 OLEDs utilize an organic film that illuminates when a voltage is applied across the device. OLEDs are becoming an increasingly interesting technology for applications such as flat panel displays, lighting and backlighting. Several OLED materials and configurations are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,844,363, 6, 303, 238, and 5, 707, 745, each incorporated herein by reference.

OLED裝置通常(而並非總是)意欲經由至少一個電極發光,且一或多個透明電極可適用於有機光電裝置。舉例而言,諸如氧化銦錫(ITO)之透明電極材料可用作底部電極。亦可使用諸如美國專利第5,703,436號及第5,707,745號中揭示者之透明頂部電極,該等專利係以引用的方式全部併入。對於意欲僅經由底部電極發光之裝置而言,頂部電極無需透明且可由具有高電導率之厚且反射性金屬層組成。類似地,對於意欲僅經由頂部電極發光之裝置而言,底部電極可為不透明及/或反射性的。當電極無需透明時,使用較厚層可提供較佳之電導率,且使用反射性電極可藉由朝向透明電極反射光而增加經由另一電極發射之光的量。亦可製造完全透明裝置,其中兩個電極均為透明的。亦可製造側面發射OLED,且該等裝置中之一個或兩個電極均可為不透明或反射性的。 OLED devices are typically, but not always, intended to emit light via at least one electrode, and one or more transparent electrodes may be suitable for use in an organic optoelectronic device. For example, a transparent electrode material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) can be used as the bottom electrode. Transparent top electrodes such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,703,436 and 5,707,745 are incorporated herein by reference. For devices intended to emit light only via the bottom electrode, the top electrode need not be transparent and may be composed of a thick and reflective metal layer with high electrical conductivity. Similarly, for devices intended to emit light only through the top electrode, the bottom electrode can be opaque and/or reflective. The use of a thicker layer provides better conductivity when the electrode does not need to be transparent, and the use of a reflective electrode can increase the amount of light emitted through the other electrode by reflecting light toward the transparent electrode. It is also possible to manufacture a completely transparent device in which both electrodes are transparent. Side-emitting OLEDs can also be fabricated, and one or both of the electrodes can be opaque or reflective.

如本文中所用,"頂部"意謂距離基板最遠,而"底部"意謂距離基板最近。舉例而言,對於具有兩個電極之裝置而言,底部電極為距離基板最近之電極且通常為所製造之第一電極。底部電極具有兩個表面,下表面距離基板最近且上表面稍遠離基板。當將第一層描述為"安置於"第二層上時,第一層稍遠離基板安置。除非說明第一層與第二層"實體接觸",否則在第一與第二層之間可存在其他層。舉例而 言,可將陰極描述為"安置於"陽極上,即使其間存在各種有機層。 As used herein, "top" means the farthest from the substrate, and "bottom" means the closest to the substrate. For example, for a device having two electrodes, the bottom electrode is the electrode closest to the substrate and is typically the first electrode fabricated. The bottom electrode has two surfaces, the lower surface being closest to the substrate and the upper surface being slightly away from the substrate. When the first layer is described as being "placed on" the second layer, the first layer is placed slightly away from the substrate. Other layers may be present between the first and second layers unless the first layer is "physically contacted" with the second layer. For example In other words, the cathode can be described as being "placed on" the anode even if various organic layers are present therebetween.

如本文中所用,"可溶液處理"意謂能夠以溶液或懸浮液形式在液體介質中溶解、分散或傳輸及/或自液體介質沈積。 As used herein, "solution processable" means capable of being dissolved, dispersed or transported in a liquid medium in the form of a solution or suspension and/or deposited from a liquid medium.

如本文中所用且如熟習此項技術者通常將瞭解,若第一能級更接近真空能級,則第一"最高佔據分子軌道"(HOMO)或"最低未佔據分子軌道"(LUMO)能級係"大於"或"高於"第二HOMO或LUMO能級。由於相對於真空能級量測電離電位(IP)為負能量,因此較高之HOMO能級對應於具有較小絕對值之IP(負值較小之IP)。類似地,較高之LUMO能級對應於具有較小絕對值之電子親和力(EA)(負值較小之EA)。在習知能級圖(其中真空能級位於頂部)上,材料之LUMO能級高於相同材料之HOMO能級。"較高"之HOMO或LUMO能級似乎比"較低"之HOMO或LUMO能級更接近該圖之頂部。 As used herein and as generally understood by those skilled in the art, the first "highest occupied molecular orbital" (HOMO) or "lowest unoccupied molecular orbital" (LUMO) energy can be understood if the first energy level is closer to the vacuum level. The grade is "greater than" or "higher" than the second HOMO or LUMO energy level. Since the ionization potential (IP) is measured as a negative energy with respect to the vacuum level, the higher HOMO level corresponds to an IP having a smaller absolute value (IP with a smaller negative value). Similarly, a higher LUMO energy level corresponds to an electron affinity (EA) with a smaller absolute value (EA with a lower negative value). On conventional energy level diagrams (where the vacuum level is at the top), the LUMO energy level of the material is higher than the HOMO energy level of the same material. The "higher" HOMO or LUMO energy level appears to be closer to the top of the figure than the "lower" HOMO or LUMO energy level.

通常,OLED包含至少一個安置於陽極與陰極之間且與其電連接之有機層。當施加電流時,陽極向有機層中注入電洞且陰極向有機層中注入電子。所注入之電洞及電子各自向相反帶電電極遷移。當電子及電洞定位於相同分子上時,形成作為具有激發能態之定域電子電洞對的"激子"。當激子經由光電發射機制弛豫時發光。在某些情況下,激子可定位於準分子或激發複合物體上。亦可存在諸如熱弛豫之非輻射機制,但通常認為其不當。 Typically, an OLED comprises at least one organic layer disposed between and electrically connected to an anode and a cathode. When a current is applied, the anode injects a hole into the organic layer and the cathode injects electrons into the organic layer. The injected holes and electrons each migrate toward the opposite charged electrode. When electrons and holes are positioned on the same molecule, an "exciton" is formed as a pair of localized electron holes having an excited energy state. The exciton emits light when it relaxes via a photoemission mechanism. In some cases, excitons can be localized on excimer or excited composite objects. Non-radiative mechanisms such as thermal relaxation may also exist, but are generally considered to be improper.

如(例如)美國專利第4,769,292號中所揭示,初始OLED使用自其單重態("螢光")發光之發射分子,該專利係以引用的方式全部併入。螢光發射通常發生在小於10奈秒之時段中。 The initial OLED uses an emissive molecule that emits light from its singlet state ("fluorescent"), as disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 4,769,292, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. Fluorescence emissions typically occur in periods of less than 10 nanoseconds.

近來,已證明具有自三重態("磷光")發光之發射材料的OLED。Baldo等人,"Highly Efficient Phosphorescent Emission from Organic Electroluminescent Devices," Nature,第395卷,151-154,1998;("Baldo-I")及Baldo等人,"Very high-efficiency green organic light-emitting devices based on electrophosphorescence," Appl.Phys.Lett.,第75卷,第1期,4-6(1999)("Baldo-II"),其係以引用的方式全部併入。磷光可稱為"禁戒"躍遷,此係因為躍遷要求自旋態變化,且量子力學指示該躍遷不利。因此,磷光通常發生在超過至少10奈秒、且通常大於100奈秒之時段中。若磷光之自然輻射壽命過長,則三重態可藉由非輻射機制衰減以使得不發光。在極低溫度下,在含有具有非共用電子對的雜原子之分子中亦常觀察到有機磷光。2,2'-聯吡啶為此種分子。非輻射衰減機制通常具有溫度依賴性,使得在液氮溫度下顯示磷光之有機材料在室溫下通常不顯示磷光。但如Baldo所證明,此問 題可藉由選擇在室溫下發出磷光之磷光化合物來解決。代表性發射層包括摻雜或未摻雜之磷光有機金屬材料,諸如美國專利第6,303,238號及第6,310,360號;美國專利申請公開案第2002-0034656號;第2002-0182441號;第2003-0072964號;及WO-02/074015中所揭示。 Recently, OLEDs having emission materials derived from triplet ("phosphorescence") luminescence have been demonstrated. Baldo et al., "Highly Efficient Phosphorescent Emission from Organic Electroluminescent Devices," Nature, Vol. 395, 151-154, 1998; ("Baldo-I") and Baldo et al., "Very high-efficiency green organic light-emitting devices" Based on electrophosphorescence, "Appl. Phys. Lett., Vol. 75, No. 1, 4-6 (1999) ("Baldo-II"), which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. Phosphorescence can be called a "forbidden" transition, because the transition requires a spin state change, and quantum mechanics indicates that the transition is unfavorable. Thus, phosphorescence typically occurs in periods of more than at least 10 nanoseconds, and typically greater than 100 nanoseconds. If the natural radiation lifetime of phosphorescence is too long, the triplet state can be attenuated by a non-radiative mechanism so that it does not emit light. At very low temperatures, organic phosphorescence is also often observed in molecules containing heteroatoms with unshared electron pairs. 2,2'-bipyridyl is such a molecule. Non-radiative decay mechanisms are typically temperature dependent such that organic materials that exhibit phosphorescence at liquid nitrogen temperatures typically do not exhibit phosphorescence at room temperature. But as Baldo proved, this question The problem can be solved by selecting a phosphorescent compound that emits phosphorescence at room temperature. Representative emissive layers include doped or undoped phosphorescent organometallic materials, such as U.S. Patent Nos. 6,303,238 and 6,310,360; U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2002-0034656; No. 2002-0182441; No. 2003-0072964 ; and as disclosed in WO-02/074015.

通常,咸信OLED中之激子以約3:1,亦即約75%三重態及25%單重態之比率產生。參見Adachi等人,"Nearly 100% Internal Phosphorescent Efficiency In An Organic Light Emitting Device," J.Appl.Phys.,90,5048(2001),其係以引用的方式全部併入。在許多情況下,單重態激子可易於經由"系統間跨越"將其能量轉移至三重激發態,而三重態激子可不易於將其能量轉移至單重激發態。因此,磷光OLED在理論上可能具有100%之內部量子效率。在螢光裝置中,三重態激子之能量通常喪失於加熱裝置之無輻射衰減過程,導致低得多之內部量子效率。舉例而言,美國專利第6,303,238號中揭示使用自三重激發態發射之磷光材料的OLED,該專利係以引用的方式全部併入。 Typically, excitons in the OLED are produced at a ratio of about 3:1, i.e., about 75% triplet and 25% singlet. See Adachi et al., "Nearly 100% Internal Phosphorescent Efficiency In An Organic Light Emitting Device," J. Appl. Phys., 90, 5048 (2001), which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. In many cases, singlet excitons can easily transfer their energy to a triplet excited state via "intersystem crossings", while triplet excitons may not readily transfer their energy to a singlet excited state. Therefore, phosphorescent OLEDs may theoretically have an internal quantum efficiency of 100%. In fluorescent devices, the energy of the triplet excitons is typically lost to the non-radiative decay process of the heating device, resulting in much lower internal quantum efficiency. An OLED using a phosphorescent material that emits from a triplet excited state is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 6,303,238, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

三重激發態至中間非三重態(由此發生發射衰減)之躍遷後可發出磷光。舉例而言,與鑭系元素配位之有機分子常自定位於鑭系金屬上之激發態發出磷光。然而,該等材料並不直接自三重激發態發出磷光,而改為自集中於鑭系金屬離子上之原子激發態發射。二酮化銪錯合物說明一組此等類型之物質。 Phosphorescence can be emitted after a transition from a triplet excited state to an intermediate non-triplet state (from which emission decay occurs). For example, organic molecules coordinated to lanthanides often emit phosphorescence from an excited state localized on a lanthanide metal. However, these materials do not directly emit phosphorescence from the triplet excited state, but instead concentrate on the atomic excited state emission on the lanthanide metal ion. The diketone ruthenium complex describes a group of these types of materials.

藉由限制,較佳經由鍵結極其接近高原子序數之原子的有機分子可使來自三重態之磷光增強超過螢光。此稱為重原子效應之現象係由稱為自旋軌道耦合之機制而產生。可自諸如參(2-苯基吡啶)銥(III)之有機金屬分子的激發金屬至配位子電荷轉移(MLCT)狀態觀察到該磷光躍遷。 By limitation, it is preferred that the phosphorescence from the triplet state be enhanced beyond fluorescence by organic molecules that are bonded to atoms that are very close to the high atomic number. This phenomenon, called the heavy atom effect, is produced by a mechanism called spin-orbit coupling. The phosphorescence transition can be observed from the excited metal to the ligand charge transfer (MLCT) state of an organometallic molecule such as ginseng (2-phenylpyridine) ruthenium (III).

如本文中所用,術語"三重態能量"係指對應於在給定材料之磷光光譜中可辨別之最高能量特徵的能量。最高能量特徵不必為在磷光光 譜中具有最大強度之峰,且可為(例如)該峰之高能量側上具有清晰肩部之局部最大值。 As used herein, the term "triplet energy" refers to the energy corresponding to the highest energy characteristic discernible in the phosphorescence spectrum of a given material. The highest energy characteristic does not have to be in phosphorescence The peak with the greatest intensity in the spectrum, and may be, for example, a local maximum with a sharp shoulder on the high energy side of the peak.

發射層135可包括當電流在陽極115與陰極160之間穿過時能夠發光之有機材料。較佳地,發射層135含有磷光發射材料,儘管亦可使用螢光發射材料。磷光材料由於與該等材料相關之較高發光效率而為較佳。發射層135亦可包含能夠傳輸電子及/或電洞、摻雜有可捕獲電子、電洞及/或激子以使得激子經由光電發射機制自發射性材料弛豫之發射性材料的主體材料。發射層135可包含組合傳輸及發射特性之單一材料。無論發射性材料係為摻雜劑或主要成份,發射層135均可包含其他材料,諸如調節發射性材料之發射的摻雜劑。發射層135可包括複數種能夠組合發射所需光譜之發射性材料。磷光發射性材料之實例包括Ir(ppy)3。螢光發射性材料之實例包括DCM及DMQA。主體材料之實例包括Alq3、CBP及mCP。發射性材料及主體材料之實例揭示於Thompson等人之美國專利第6,303,238號中,該專利係以引用的方式全部併入。發射性材料可以多種方式包括於發射層135中。舉例而言,可將發射性小分子併入聚合物中。此可藉由數種方式來實現:將小分子以獨立且不同之分子物質形式摻雜至聚合物中;或將小分子併入聚合物之主鏈中以便形成共聚物;或將小分子作為側基鍵結於聚合物上。可使用其他發射層材料及結構。舉例而言,可提供小分子發射性材料作為樹枝狀聚合物之核心。 The emissive layer 135 can include an organic material that is capable of emitting light when current is passed between the anode 115 and the cathode 160. Preferably, the emissive layer 135 contains a phosphorescent emissive material, although a fluorescent emissive material can also be used. Phosphorescent materials are preferred due to the higher luminous efficiency associated with such materials. The emissive layer 135 may also comprise a host material capable of transporting electrons and/or holes, doped with trappable electrons, holes and/or excitons to cause excitons to relax from the emissive material via a photoemissive mechanism. . Emissive layer 135 can comprise a single material that combines transmission and emission characteristics. Whether the emissive material is a dopant or a primary component, the emissive layer 135 can comprise other materials, such as dopants that modulate the emission of the emissive material.

許多適用之發射性材料包括一或多個與金屬中心結合之配位 子。若配位子直接促進有機金屬發射性材料之光活性特性,則配位子可被稱為"光活性"配位子。"光活性"配位子可結合金屬提供當發射光子時電子在其間移動之能級。其他配位子可稱為"輔助"配位子。輔助配位子可(例如)藉由使光活性配位子之能級移動來改變分子之光活性特性,但輔助配位子並不直接提供與光發射有關之能級。在一種分子中具有光活性之配位子在另一分子中可為輔助配位子。該等光活性及輔助之定義希望作為非限制性理論。 Many suitable emissive materials include one or more coordination sites with metal centers child. If the ligand directly promotes the photoactive properties of the organometallic emissive material, the ligand can be referred to as a "photoactive" ligand. A "photoactive" ligand can combine with a metal to provide an energy level at which electrons move between photons. Other ligands can be referred to as "auxiliary" ligands. Auxiliary ligands can, for example, alter the photoactive properties of a molecule by shifting the energy level of the photoactive ligand, but the ancillary ligand does not directly provide an energy level associated with light emission. A photoactive ligand in one molecule can be an auxiliary ligand in another molecule. The definition of such photoactivity and aids is intended as a non-limiting theory.

電子傳輸層145可包括能夠傳輸電子之材料。電子傳輸層145可為本徵的(未摻雜的)或經摻雜的。摻雜可用以增強電導率。Alq3為本徵電子傳輸層之實例。n摻雜電子傳輸層之實例為如Forrest等人之美國專利申請公開案第2003-0230980號所揭示以1:1之莫耳比摻雜有Li之BPhen,該專利係以引用的方式全部併入。可使用其他電子傳輸層。 The electron transport layer 145 can include a material capable of transporting electrons. Electron transport layer 145 can be intrinsic (undoped) or doped. Doping can be used to enhance conductivity. An example of an Alq 3 intrinsic electron transport layer. An example of an n-doped electron-transporting layer is BPhen, which is doped with Li at a molar ratio of 1:1 as disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003-0230980, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. In. Other electron transport layers can be used.

可選擇電子傳輸層之電荷攜帶組份以使得電子可有效地自陰極注入電子傳輸層之LUMO(最低未佔據分子軌道)能級。"電荷攜帶組分"為造成實際上傳輸電子之LUMO能級的材料。此組份可為基底材料或其可為摻雜劑。有機材料之LUMO能級通常可由彼材料之電子親和力來表徵,且陰極之相對電子注入效率通常可依據陰極材料之功函數來表徵。此意謂可依據ETL之電荷攜帶組份之電子親和力及陰極材料之功函數來說明電子傳輸層及相鄰陰極之較佳特性。特定言之,為達成高電子注入效率,陰極材料之功函數較佳不比電子傳輸層之電荷攜帶組份的電子親和力高出約0.75eV以上、更佳至多約0.5eV。類似考慮因素適用於電子注入之任何層。 The charge carrying component of the electron transport layer can be selected such that electrons can be efficiently injected from the cathode into the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) level of the electron transport layer. The "charge carrying component" is a material that causes the LUMO energy level to actually transport electrons. This component can be a substrate material or it can be a dopant. The LUMO energy level of an organic material can generally be characterized by the electron affinity of the material, and the relative electron injection efficiency of the cathode can generally be characterized by the work function of the cathode material. This means that the preferred properties of the electron transport layer and adjacent cathodes can be explained by the electron affinity of the charge carrying component of the ETL and the work function of the cathode material. In particular, to achieve high electron injection efficiency, the work function of the cathode material is preferably no more than about 0.75 eV, more preferably up to about 0.5 eV, than the electron-affinity of the charge-carrying component of the electron transport layer. Similar considerations apply to any layer of electron injection.

Cathode 160 can be transparent or opaque and can be reflective. Metals and metal oxides are examples of suitable cathode materials. Cathode 160 can be a single layer or can have a composite structure. Figure 1 shows a thin metal Layer 162 and composite cathode 160 of thicker conductive metal oxide layer 164. Among the composite cathodes, preferred materials for the thicker layer 164 include ITO, IZO, and other materials known in the art. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,703,436, 5,707,745, 6,548,956 B2, and 6,576,134 B2, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. An example of a cathode of a composite cathode. The portion of the cathode 160 that is in contact with the underlying organic layer, whether it is a single layer cathode 160, a thin metal layer 162 of a composite cathode, or some other portion, is preferably made of a material having a work function of less than about 4 eV ("low The work function material is made of "). Other cathode materials and structures can be used.

阻擋層可用以減少離開發射層之電荷載流子(電子或電洞)及/或激子之數目。電子阻擋層130可安置於發射層135與電洞傳輸層125之間以阻擋電子沿電洞傳輸層125之方向離開發射層135。類似地,電洞阻擋層140可安置於發射層135與電子傳輸層145之間以阻擋電洞沿電子傳輸層145之方向離開發射層135。阻擋層亦可用以阻擋激子自發射層向外擴散。Forrest等人之美國專利第6,097,147號及美國專利申請公開案第2003-0230980號中更詳細地描述關於阻擋層之理論及用途,該等專利係以引用的方式全部併入。 A barrier layer can be used to reduce the number of charge carriers (electrons or holes) and/or excitons exiting the emissive layer. The electron blocking layer 130 may be disposed between the emissive layer 135 and the hole transport layer 125 to block electrons from exiting the emissive layer 135 in the direction of the hole transport layer 125. Similarly, a hole blocking layer 140 may be disposed between the emissive layer 135 and the electron transport layer 145 to block the holes from exiting the emissive layer 135 in the direction of the electron transport layer 145. The barrier layer can also be used to block excitons from diffusing outward from the emissive layer. The theory and use of the barrier layer is described in more detail in U.S. Patent No. 6,097,147, issued to toS.

如本文中所用且如熟習此項技術者應瞭解,術語"阻擋層"意謂該層提供顯著抑制電荷載流子及/或激子經由裝置傳輸之障壁,而未表明該層必須完全阻擋電荷載流子及/或激子。與缺乏阻擋層之類似裝置相比,該阻擋層在裝置中之存在可產生實質上較高之效率。阻擋層亦可用以將發射限制於OLED之所需區域。 As used herein and as understood by those skilled in the art, the term "barrier layer" means that the layer provides a barrier that significantly inhibits the transport of charge carriers and/or excitons through the device, without indicating that the layer must completely block the charge. Carriers and/or excitons. The presence of the barrier layer in the device can result in substantially higher efficiencies compared to similar devices lacking a barrier layer. The barrier layer can also be used to limit emission to the desired area of the OLED.

通常,注入層由可改良電荷載流子自諸如電極或有機層之一層注入相鄰有機層之材料組成。注入層亦可執行電荷傳輸功能。在裝置100中,電洞注入層120可為改良電洞自陽極115注入電洞傳輸層125中之任何層。CuPc為可用作自ITO陽極115及其他陽極之電洞注入層的材料之實例。在裝置100中,電子注入層150可為改良電子注入電子傳 輸層145之任何層。LiF/Al為可用作自相鄰層進入電子傳輸層中之電子注入層的材料之實例。其他材料或材料組合可用於注入層。視特定裝置之組態而定,可將注入層安置在不同於裝置100中所示位置之位置。注入層之更多實例提供於Lu等人之美國專利申請案第09/931,948號中,其係以引用的方式全部併入。電洞注入層可包含溶液沈積材料,諸如旋塗聚合物,例如PEDOT:PSS,或其可為蒸氣沈積之小分子材料,例如CuPc或MTDATA。 Typically, the implant layer is comprised of a material that can improve the charge carriers from one of the layers of the electrode or organic layer to the adjacent organic layer. The injection layer can also perform a charge transfer function. In device 100, hole injection layer 120 can be an improved hole injected from anode 115 into any of the layers in hole transport layer 125. CuPc is an example of a material that can be used as a hole injection layer from the ITO anode 115 and other anodes. In the device 100, the electron injection layer 150 can be an improved electron injection electron transfer Any layer of the transfer layer 145. LiF/Al is an example of a material that can be used as an electron injecting layer that enters an electron transport layer from an adjacent layer. Other materials or combinations of materials can be used for the injection layer. Depending on the configuration of the particular device, the injection layer can be placed at a different location than that shown in device 100. Further examples of the injection layer are provided in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/931,948, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The hole injection layer may comprise a solution deposition material such as a spin-on polymer such as PEDOT:PSS, or it may be a vapor deposited small molecule material such as CuPc or MTDATA.

電洞注入層(HIL)可使陽極表面平坦化或潤濕以自陽極提供有效電洞注入電洞注入材料中。電洞注入層亦可具有電荷攜帶組份,其具有如本文所述之相對電離電位(IP)能量所界定,有利於與HIL一側上之相鄰陽極層及HIL對側上之電洞傳輸層匹配之HOMO(最高佔據分子軌道)能級。"電荷攜帶組份"為造成實際上傳輸電洞之HOMO能級的材料。此組份可為HIL之基底材料或其可為摻雜劑。使用摻雜HIL使得可選擇摻雜劑之電學特性且可選擇主體之形態特性,諸如潤濕、可撓性、韌性等。HIL材料之較佳特性使得電洞可自陽極有效地注入HIL材料中。特定言之,HIL之電荷攜帶組份較佳具有比陽極材料之IP高出至多約0.7eV之IP。更佳地,電荷攜帶組份具有比陽極材料大出至多約0.5eV之IP。類似考慮因素適用於電洞注入之任何層。HIL材料進一步區別於通常用於OLED之電洞傳輸層的習知電洞傳輸材料之處在於該等HIL材料可具有實質上小於習知電洞傳輸材料之電洞電導率的電洞電導率。本發明之HIL的厚度可足夠厚以有助於使陽極層之表面平坦化或潤濕。舉例而言,低至10nm之HIL厚度可為極平滑陽極表面所接受。然而,由於陽極表面趨向於極粗糙,因此在某些情況下可需要高達50nm之HIL厚度。 A hole injection layer (HIL) can planarize or wet the anode surface to provide effective holes into the hole injection material from the anode. The hole injection layer may also have a charge carrying component defined by the relative ionization potential (IP) energy as described herein to facilitate transmission of holes along the adjacent anode layer on the HIL side and on the opposite side of the HIL. The layer-matched HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) energy level. The "charge carrying component" is a material that causes the HOMO energy level to actually transmit a hole. This component can be a base material for the HIL or it can be a dopant. The use of doped HIL allows the electrical properties of the dopant to be selected and the morphological properties of the body such as wetting, flexibility, toughness, etc., to be selected. The preferred properties of the HIL material allow the holes to be efficiently injected into the HIL material from the anode. In particular, the charge carrying component of the HIL preferably has an IP that is at most about 0.7 eV higher than the IP of the anode material. More preferably, the charge carrying component has an IP that is up to about 0.5 eV greater than the anode material. Similar considerations apply to any layer of hole injection. The HIL material is further distinguished from conventional hole transport materials commonly used in hole transport layers of OLEDs in that the HIL materials can have a hole conductivity that is substantially smaller than the hole conductivity of a conventional hole transport material. The thickness of the HIL of the present invention may be thick enough to help planarize or wet the surface of the anode layer. For example, a HIL thickness as low as 10 nm can be accepted for an extremely smooth anode surface. However, since the anode surface tends to be extremely rough, a HIL thickness of up to 50 nm may be required in some cases.

保護層在後續製造方法期間可用以保護下伏層。舉例而言,用以製造金屬或金屬氧化物頂部電極之方法可損害有機層,且保護層可 用以減少或消除該損害。在裝置100中,保護層155在製造陰極160期間可減少對下伏有機層之損害。較佳地,保護層對於其所傳輸之載流子類型(在裝置100中為電子)具有高載流子遷移率,使得其不顯著增加裝置100之運作電壓。CuPc、BCP及各種金屬酞菁為可用於保護層中之材料的實例。可使用其他材料或材料組合。保護層155之厚度較佳足夠厚,使得極少或無由於有機保護層160沈積後進行之製造方法而對下伏層造成之損害,然而不宜過厚以致顯著增加裝置100之運作電壓。保護層155可經摻雜以增加其電導率。舉例而言,CuPc或BCP保護層160可經Li摻雜。關於保護層之更詳細描述可見於Lu等人之美國專利申請案第09/931,948號,其係以引用的方式全部併入。 The protective layer can be used during subsequent manufacturing methods to protect the underlying layer. For example, a method for fabricating a metal or metal oxide top electrode can damage the organic layer, and the protective layer can Used to reduce or eliminate the damage. In device 100, protective layer 155 may reduce damage to the underlying organic layer during fabrication of cathode 160. Preferably, the protective layer has a high carrier mobility for the type of carrier it transports (electrons in device 100) such that it does not significantly increase the operating voltage of device 100. CuPc, BCP and various metal phthalocyanines are examples of materials that can be used in the protective layer. Other materials or combinations of materials can be used. The thickness of the protective layer 155 is preferably sufficiently thick that there is little or no damage to the underlying layer due to the fabrication process performed after the deposition of the organic protective layer 160, but it is not desirable to be too thick to significantly increase the operating voltage of the device 100. The protective layer 155 can be doped to increase its electrical conductivity. For example, the CuPc or BCP protective layer 160 can be doped with Li. A more detailed description of the protective layer can be found in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/931,948, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

The device includes a substrate 210, a cathode 215, an emissive layer 220, a hole transport layer 225, and an anode 230. Device 200 can be fabricated by depositing the layers in sequence. Since the most common OLED configuration has a cathode disposed on the anode and the device 200 has a cathode 215 disposed under the anode 230, the device 200 can be referred to as an "inverted" OLED. Materials similar to those described with respect to device 100 can be used in the respective layers of device 200. FIG. 2 provides an example of how certain layers may be omitted from the structure of device 100.

This data indicates that all detectable emissions are from the emission layer and none of them are from compound 1 in the hole injection layer. Other device performance data are shown in Figures 9 and 10.

此資料證明在電洞注入層中使用化合物1之實例4裝置具有比在電洞注入層中使用化合物2之實例3裝置更佳的效能特徵。此比較證明可交聯銥錯合物上之不同間隔基可影響裝置效能。此效應可歸因於不 同間隔基具有不同之可撓性、幾何形狀、電化學性質或其對ITO陽極之影響(例如誘導ITO陽極上之表面偶極子)。 This data demonstrates that the Example 4 device using Compound 1 in the hole injection layer has better performance characteristics than the Example 3 device using Compound 2 in the hole injection layer. This comparison demonstrates that different spacers on the crosslinkable complex can affect device performance. This effect can be attributed to no The spacers have different flexibility, geometry, electrochemical properties or their effect on the ITO anode (eg, inducing surface dipoles on the ITO anode).

The apparatus of Example 5 was fabricated in a manner similar to that of Comparative Example 1. A solution of 95% Compound 1 and 5% dopant trityl-niobium (pentafluorophenyl) borate (CD1) in cyclohexanone at 4,000 rpm was spin-coated at 4000 rpm for 30 seconds. Floor. The film was baked at 250 ° C for 30 min. For the hole transport layer, 1.0% by weight of N 4 , N 4 '-bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N 4 , N 4 '-bis(4-vinylphenyl) is bonded for 30 seconds. A solution of benzene-4,4'-diamine in toluene was spin-coated onto the hole injection layer at 4000 rpm. The film was then baked at 200 ° C for 30 minutes on a hot plate in a glove box. The film becomes an insoluble film after baking. After cooling to room temperature, a 0.75 wt% solution of Host-1 and Pigment Green-2 (host to dopant ratio of 88:12) was spin coated onto the hole transport layer at 1000 rpm for 30 seconds to deposit the emission. Floor. The emissive layer was then baked at 100 ° C for 1 hour. ETL1 is 5 nm of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaphenylbenziphenanthrene (HPT) and ETL2 is 50 nm of Alq 3 , both of which are deposited by vacuum thermal evaporation. The dopants used for the hole injection layer are 4-isopropyl-4'-methyl-diphenylphosphonium (pentafluorophenyl) borate (CD2) and N,N-dimethylanilinium, respectively. The apparatus of Examples 6 and 7 was produced in the same manner as in Example 5 except for ruthenium (pentafluorophenyl) borate (CD3).

如圖14-16中所示,在DC電流下運作裝置實例5-7且獲得效能資料。下表3概述裝置實例5-7之組成及效能特徵。此資料證明以導電性摻雜劑摻雜HIL可用來改良裝置之效能。舉例而言,此資料展示與實例3及4之在HIL中不具有摻雜劑之裝置相比,OLED裝置之運作電壓顯著降低且發光效率增加。此效應可歸因於導電性摻雜劑增強HIL中之電洞遷移率、改良ITO/HIL界面、改良電荷注入及/或促進可交聯銥錯合物之聚合作用的能力。 As shown in Figures 14-16, device examples 5-7 were operated at DC current and performance data was obtained. Table 3 below summarizes the composition and performance characteristics of device examples 5-7. This data demonstrates that doping HIL with a conductive dopant can be used to improve the performance of the device. For example, this data shows that the operating voltage of the OLED device is significantly reduced and the luminous efficiency is increased as compared to the devices of Examples 3 and 4 that do not have a dopant in the HIL. This effect can be attributed to the ability of the conductive dopant to enhance hole mobility in the HIL, improve the ITO/HIL interface, improve charge injection, and/or promote polymerization of the crosslinkable ruthenium complex.

本發明之某些可交聯銥錯合物係表示為Ir(L1)x(L2)y之雜片段銥錯合物,其中L1及L2為不同之C-Ir-N環金屬化有機配位子。該等雜片段金屬錯合物可利用不同配位子所賦予之理想特性。 Certain crosslinkable ruthenium complexes of the present invention are represented by a heterozygous complex of Ir(L 1 ) x (L 2 ) y wherein L 1 and L 2 are different C-Ir-N ring metals. Organic ligands. These hetero-fragment metal complexes can utilize the desirable properties imparted by different ligands.

舉例而言,認為含有Ir(L1)3作為發射體之電致磷光裝置比含有Ir(L2)3作為發射體之裝置更穩定,儘管兩個裝置發射類似色彩。但若L1具有比L2高之分子量,則Ir(L1)3將要求比Ir(L2)3高之真空蒸發溫度,因此降低使用Ir(L1)3之吸引力。在此情況下,雜片段Ir(L1)(L2)2或Ir(L1)2(L2)錯合物可具有由各配位子所賦予之理想特徵(亦即L1賦予良好穩定性,而L2賦予降低之分子量及較低之蒸發溫度)。 By way of example, that contains Ir (L 1) 3 as the phosphorescent emitter electrically ratio device comprising Ir (L 2) 3 is more stable as the emitter means, although the means for transmitting two similar colors. However, if L 1 has a molecular weight higher than L 2 , Ir(L 1 ) 3 will require a vacuum evaporation temperature higher than Ir(L 2 ) 3 , thus reducing the attractive force of using Ir(L 1 ) 3 . In this case, the hetero-fragment Ir(L 1 )(L 2 ) 2 or Ir(L 1 ) 2 (L 2 ) complex may have desirable characteristics imparted by each of the ligands (ie, L 1 is well-proportioned) Stability, while L 2 gives a reduced molecular weight and a lower evaporation temperature).

又,在另一情況下,若Ir(L1)3不溶而Ir(L2)3可溶於大多數有機溶劑,則Ir(L1)3不能用於諸如噴墨印刷之基於溶液的裝置製造方法。在此情況下,雜片段Ir(L1)(L2)2或Ir(L1)2(L2)錯合物可具有良好穩定性(如 由L1所賦予)及良好溶解性(如由L2所賦予)。 Also, in another case, if Ir(L 1 ) 3 is insoluble and Ir(L 2 ) 3 is soluble in most organic solvents, Ir(L 1 ) 3 cannot be used in a solution-based device such as inkjet printing. Production method. In this case, the hetero-fragment Ir(L 1 )(L 2 ) 2 or Ir(L 1 ) 2 (L 2 ) complex may have good stability (as conferred by L 1 ) and good solubility (eg Granted by L 2 ).

儘管雜片段金屬錯合物可具有此等優勢,但製造該等雜片段錯合物可具有挑戰性。一個問題在於在合成過程期間爭奪配位子,此產生Ir(L1)(L2)2與Ir(L1)2(L2)且甚至Ir(L1)3與Ir(L2)3之混合物。使用諸如管柱層析、昇華或再結晶之習知分離技術可能難以分離該混合物之各組份。因此,需要一種改良之製造雜片段金屬錯合物的方法。 While hetero-fragment metal complexes can have these advantages, making such hetero-fragment complexes can be challenging. One problem is that it competes for a ligand during the synthesis process, which produces Ir(L 1 )(L 2 ) 2 and Ir(L 1 ) 2 (L 2 ) and even Ir(L 1 ) 3 and Ir(L 2 ) 3 a mixture. It may be difficult to separate the components of the mixture using conventional separation techniques such as column chromatography, sublimation or recrystallization. Therefore, there is a need for an improved process for making hetero-fragment metal complexes.

因此,在另一態樣中,本發明提供具有分離增強官能基之雜片段金屬錯合物,該官能基以使得不同金屬錯合物可藉由諸如管柱層析的習知分離技術分離之方式區分混合物中之雜片段金屬錯合物。分離增強官能基係用以產生具有式M(L1)(LB)2或M(L1)2(LB)之金屬錯合物,其中M為金屬原子,其中L1及LB為與金屬M配位之不同配位子,且其中LB包括分離增強官能基。 Thus, in another aspect, the present invention provides a hetero-fragment metal complex having isolated enhanced functional groups such that different metal complexes can be separated by conventional separation techniques such as column chromatography. The manner distinguishes the hetero-fragment metal complex in the mixture. Separating the reinforcing functional group to produce a metal complex having the formula M(L 1 )(L B ) 2 or M(L 1 ) 2 (L B ), wherein M is a metal atom, wherein L 1 and L B are A different ligand coordinated to the metal M, and wherein L B includes a separation enhancing functional group.

可自含有具有式M(L1)(LA)2之金屬錯合物及具有式M(L1)2(LA)之金屬錯合物的混合物產生具有式M(L1)(LB)2或M(L1)2(LB)之此等金屬錯合物,其中L1及LA為與金屬原子M配位之不同配位子。配位子LA包括至少一個含有鹵素之基團。如本文中所用,"含有鹵素之基團"係指F、Cl、Br或I或含有F、Cl、Br或I中之至少一者的官能基。藉由以分離增強官能基取代LA配位子上之含有鹵素之基團,形成含有金屬錯合物M(L1)(LB)2或M(L1)2(LB)之第二混合物。分離且隔離後,可使金屬錯合物M(L1)(LB)2或M(L1)2(LB)經受進一步反應(例如交叉偶合、去保護、縮合、裂解或醯化)以製備其他雜片段金屬錯合物,諸如作為磷光發射體或電洞傳輸材料之彼等雜片段金屬錯合物。 A mixture of a metal complex having a formula M(L 1 )(L A ) 2 and a metal complex having the formula M(L 1 ) 2 (L A ) can be produced having the formula M(L 1 )(L) B ) 2 or M(L 1 ) 2 (L B ) of such metal complexes, wherein L 1 and L A are different ligands coordinated to the metal atom M. The ligand L A includes at least one group containing a halogen. As used herein, "halogen-containing group" refers to F, Cl, Br or I or a functional group containing at least one of F, Cl, Br or I. Forming a metal-containing complex M(L 1 )(L B ) 2 or M(L 1 ) 2 (L B ) by substituting a halogen-containing group on the L A ligand with an isolated reinforcing functional group Two mixtures. After separation and isolation, the metal complex M(L 1 )(L B ) 2 or M(L 1 ) 2 (L B ) can be subjected to further reactions (eg, cross-coupling, deprotection, condensation, cleavage or deuteration) To prepare other hetero-fragment metal complexes, such as their hetero-fragment metal complexes as phosphorescent emitters or hole transport materials.

舉例而言,當2-(聯苯-3-基)吡啶及2-苯基吡啶與Ir(acac)3反應時,以視兩個配位子之饋入比而定之比率形成I-A、I-B、I-C及I-D之混合物。因為其配位子具有類似極性,所以該4種組份並不易於藉由管柱層析而分離。 For example, when 2-(biphenyl-3-yl)pyridine and 2-phenylpyridine are reacted with Ir(acac) 3 , IA, IB, etc. are formed at a ratio depending on the feed ratio of the two ligands. A mixture of IC and ID. Because their ligands have similar polarities, the four components are not easily separated by column chromatography.

為製備純化合物I-B,首先藉由使Ir(PPy)3與1當量之N-溴代丁二醯亞胺(NBS)反應來製備溴化Ir(PPy)3之混合物。獲得未反應Ir(PPy)3、單溴Ir(PPy)3(II-A)及二溴Ir(PPy)3(II-B)之混合物。為增加不同金屬錯合物之間的極性差異,將頻哪醇基硼酸酯基(充當分離增強官能基)引入金屬錯合物中。藉由該反應,將金屬錯合物轉化成其相應硼酸酯III-A及III-B,其更易於藉由管柱層析而分離。隨後可將硼酸酯金屬錯合物III-A及III-B分別轉化成金屬錯合物I-B及I-C。過程展示如下。 To prepare the pure compound IB, a mixture of brominated Ir(PPy) 3 was first prepared by reacting Ir(PPy) 3 with 1 equivalent of N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). A mixture of unreacted Ir(PPy) 3 , monobromo Ir(PPy) 3 (II-A) and dibromoIr(PPy) 3 (II-B) was obtained. To increase the difference in polarity between the different metal complexes, a pinacolyl boronate group (acting as a separation enhancing functional group) is introduced into the metal complex. By this reaction, the metal complex is converted to its corresponding boronate esters III-A and III-B, which are more easily separated by column chromatography. The borate metal complexes III-A and III-B can then be converted to the metal complexes IB and IC, respectively. The process is shown below.

亦可使用其他分離增強官能基,包括具有三氟甲磺酸酯基、三 甲基矽烷基或胺基之彼等分離增強官能基。使用三氟甲磺酸酯基作為分離增強官能基之實例展示如下。 Other separation enhancing functional groups may also be used, including having a triflate group, three The separation of the methyl decyl or amine groups enhances the functional groups. An example using a triflate group as a separation enhancing functional group is shown below.

與無分離增強官能基之化合物相比,分離增強官能基可改變化合物之極性、尺寸及/或溶解性。因此,具有不同數目之分離增強官能基之化合物的混合物可經充分區分使得其可使用層析(TLC)分離。 一般而言,混合物之化合物的較大差異使得可較易於分離且使用TLC至少0.05之Rf差異可使得實際上正相矽膠管柱層析分離化合物之混合物。 Separating the enhanced functional groups can alter the polarity, size, and/or solubility of the compound as compared to a compound that does not separate the enhanced functional groups. Thus, mixtures of compounds having different numbers of discrete enhanced functional groups can be sufficiently differentiated such that they can be separated using chromatography (TLC). In general, the large differences in the compounds of the mixture make it easier to separate and the Rf difference of at least 0.05 using TLC can be such that a mixture of compounds is actually separated by normal phase tantalum column chromatography.

本文中在約23℃下於正相矽膠板(Sorbent Technologies,2.5cm×7.5cm×200μm,具有UV254螢光指示劑)上以己烷、二氯甲烷、乙酸乙酯、甲苯及/或甲醇之混合物作為移動相溶劑進行TLC。移動相溶劑系統經選擇以使得化合物混合物中之主要組份的Rf在0.2-0.8之範圍內。舉例而言,可以極性增加之次序己烷:二氯甲烷2:1、1:1或1:2;或以極性增加之次序己烷:乙酸乙酯2:1、1:1或1:2;或以極性增加之次序己烷:二氯甲烷:乙酸乙酯2:2:1、1:1:1或1:2:2。 Here, at about 23 ° C on a normal phase silicone sheet (Sorbent Technologies, 2.5 cm × 7.5 cm × 200 μm, with UV254 fluorescent indicator) with hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, toluene and / or methanol The mixture was subjected to TLC as a mobile phase solvent. The mobile phase solvent system is selected such that the Rf of the major component of the compound mixture is in the range of from 0.2 to 0.8. For example, the order of increasing polarity may be hexane: dichloromethane 2:1, 1:1 or 1:2; or in order of increasing polarity: hexane: ethyl acetate 2:1, 1:1 or 1:2 Or hexane in the order of increasing polarity: dichloromethane: ethyl acetate 2:2:1, 1:1:1 or 1:2:2.

使用層析分離不同化合物取決於化合物如何強烈地吸附於固定相上且如何可將其藉由移動相(溶離劑)解吸附。與無分離增強官能基之金屬錯合物相比,金屬錯合物上之分離增強官能基係用以增加金屬錯合物於固定相上之吸附。舉例而言,於2:3之二氯甲烷:己烷溶劑中之Ir(Br-ppy)(ppy)2及Ir(Brppy)2(ppy)具有0.22及0.27之Rf。此Rf差異對於分離而言並不現實。然而,二氯甲烷溶劑中之Ir(頻哪醇根基酸酯-ppy)(ppy)2及Ir(頻哪醇根基酸酯-ppy)2(ppy)分別具有0.68及0.16之Rf。Rf之此較大差異使得管柱分離兩種化合物成為現實。 Separation of different compounds using chromatography depends on how strongly the compound adsorbs on the stationary phase and how it can be desorbed by the mobile phase (solvent). The separation-enhancing functional groups on the metal complex are used to increase the adsorption of the metal complex on the stationary phase as compared to the metal complex without the separation-enhancing functional group. For example, Ir(Br-ppy)(ppy) 2 and Ir(Brppy) 2 (ppy) in a 2:3 dichloromethane:hexane solvent have an Rf of 0.22 and 0.27. This Rf difference is not realistic for separation. However, Ir in the solvent of dichloromethane (pinacol Acid ester-ppy) (ppy) 2 and Ir (pinadol base) The ester-ppy) 2 (ppy) has an R f of 0.68 and 0.16, respectively. This large difference in R f makes it practical to separate the two compounds from the column.

在層析中,吸附強度為分析物與固定相之間相互作用的結果。含有第二及第三列諸如硼、氮、氧、矽、磷或硫之雜原子的官能基可用作分離增強官能基。與諸如氟、氯、溴及碘之鹵素相比,其可產生與固定相更強之相互作用。其可為諸如硼、氮、氧、矽、磷或硫之雜原子的鹼性或酸性性質更強之結果。通常,相互作用具附加性,意謂每個分子之分離增強官能基愈多,則吸附愈強。移動相沿移動相移動之方向解吸附且溶離分析物。在正相層析中,移動相溶劑極性愈大,則解吸附愈快。因此,重要的係藉由調整極性與非極性溶劑之比率來 調整移動相溶劑之極性以達成分析物之合理移動。舉例而言,若溶劑系統過於具有非極性,則化合物在TCL板上將幾乎不行進(例如Rf小於0.1),且不可達成有意義之分離。另一方面,若溶劑系統過於具有極性,則化合物在TCL板將行進得過快(例如Rf高於0.9),且不可達成有意義之分離。兩種情況均由對於特定分離增強劑衍生之金屬錯合物的溶劑系統之錯誤選擇而產生。因此,選擇移動相溶劑系統以使得化合物混合物之主要組份的Rf在0.2-0.8之範圍內。 In chromatography, the adsorption strength is the result of the interaction between the analyte and the stationary phase. A functional group containing a second and a third column of a hetero atom such as boron, nitrogen, oxygen, helium, phosphorus or sulfur can be used as the separation-enhancing functional group. It produces a stronger interaction with the stationary phase than halogens such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. It can be the result of stronger basic or acidic nature of heteroatoms such as boron, nitrogen, oxygen, helium, phosphorus or sulfur. Generally, the interaction is additive, meaning that the more the separation of each molecule enhances the functional group, the stronger the adsorption. The mobile phase desorbs and dissolves the analyte in the direction of movement of the mobile phase. In normal phase chromatography, the greater the polarity of the mobile phase solvent, the faster the desorption. Therefore, it is important to adjust the polarity of the mobile phase solvent by adjusting the ratio of polar to non-polar solvent to achieve reasonable movement of the analyte. For example, if the solvent system is too non-polar, the compound will travel little on the TCL plate (eg, Rf is less than 0.1) and no meaningful separation can be achieved. On the other hand, if the solvent system is too polar, the compound will travel too fast in the TCL plate (e.g., Rf is above 0.9) and no meaningful separation can be achieved. Both cases arise from the erroneous selection of solvent systems for metal complexes derived from specific separation enhancers. Therefore, the mobile phase solvent system is selected such that the Rf of the major component of the compound mixture is in the range of 0.2-0.8.

由於分析物由溶離劑攜帶,因此其需可溶於溶離劑。通常藉由分離增強官能基來增加金屬錯合物之溶解性,此為分離增強官能基之另一優點。 Since the analyte is carried by the eliminator, it needs to be soluble in the eliminator. The solubility of the metal complex is generally increased by separating the reinforcing functional groups, which is another advantage of separating the reinforcing functional groups.

It may be a functional group which can be reacted in a coupling reaction, deprotection, condensation, deuteration or the like. In certain embodiments, preferred separation enhancing functional groups are functional groups containing one or more of boron, nitrogen, oxygen, helium, phosphorus or sulfur. More preferably, the separation enhancing functional group is B(OH) 2 , B(OR) 2 , NH 2 , NHR, OTf, OTs, COOH or SiMe 3 ; wherein R is a C 1-20 hydrocarbyl moiety.

裝置實例Device instance

實例18、實例19與比較實例2為使用真空熱蒸發製造之有機發光裝置。在預塗有120nm厚氧化銦錫(ITO)陽極之玻璃基板上製造裝置。陰極為1nm之LiF層,繼而為100nm鋁。製造後立即在氮(<1ppm H2O及O2)下以經環氧樹脂密封之玻璃蓋囊封所有裝置,且將吸濕劑併入各裝置內。 Example 18, Example 19 and Comparative Example 2 are organic light-emitting devices manufactured using vacuum thermal evaporation. A device was fabricated on a glass substrate precoated with a 120 nm thick indium tin oxide (ITO) anode. The cathode was a 1 nm LiF layer followed by 100 nm aluminum. Immediately after the production with epoxy resin to seal the cover glass encapsulated devices all under nitrogen (<1ppm H 2 O and O 2), and the moisture absorbent is incorporated in each device.

對於實例18之裝置而言,使用以下各物製造有機堆疊:作為電洞注入層(HIL)之厚度為30nm之Ir(3-Meppy)3;作為電洞傳輸層(HTL)之厚度為30nm之N4,N4'-二(萘-1-基)-N4,N4'-雙(4-乙烯基苯基)聯苯-4,4'-二胺(α-NPD);作為發射層之厚度為30nm之摻雜有磷光發射體化合物I-B(10重量%)之4,4'-二(9H-咔唑-9-基)聯苯(CBP);作為第一電子 傳輸層(ETL1)之厚度為5nm之2,3,6,7,10,11-六苯基苯幷菲(HPT);及作為第二電子傳輸層(ETL2)之厚度為45nm之參(8-羥基喹啉)鋁(Alq3)。 For the device of Example 18, an organic stack was fabricated using the following: Ir(3-Meppy) 3 having a thickness of 30 nm as a hole injection layer (HIL); and having a thickness of 30 nm as a hole transport layer (HTL) N 4, N 4 '- di (naphthalene-1-yl) -N 4, N 4' - bis (4-vinylphenyl) biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (α-NPD); as an emitter a layer having a thickness of 30 nm doped with a phosphorescent emitter compound IB (10% by weight) of 4,4'-bis(9H-carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl (CBP); as the first electron transport layer (ETL1) a thickness of 5,2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaphenylphenanthrene (HPT); and a second electron transport layer (ETL2) having a thickness of 45 nm (8-hydroxyquinoline) ) Aluminum (Alq 3 ).

除使用化合物V作為磷光發射體代替化合物I-B以外,以類似於實例18的方式製造實例19。除Ir(5'-Phppy)3用於HIL中代替Ir(3-Meppy)3且使用Ir(5'-Phppy)3(9重量%)作為磷光發射體代替化合物I-B以外,以類似於實例18的方式製造比較實例2。 Example 19 was made in a similar manner to Example 18 except that Compound V was used as the phosphorescent emitter instead of Compound IB. In place of Ir (3-Meppy) except Ir (5'-Phppy) 3 and is used for the HIL 3 3 (9 wt%) Ir (5'-Phppy) was used as the phosphorescent emitter in place of Compound IB, in a manner similar Example 18 The way to manufacture Comparative Example 2.

如表5中所示,化合物I-B及V在具有高於55cd/A之發光效率(LE)、高於15%之外部量子效率(EQE)、小於72nm之半高全寬(FWHM)及x<0.330、y>0.620之CIE的裝置中良好充當磷光摻雜劑。又,與Ir(5'-Phppy)3之322℃相比,化合物I-B具有231℃之蒸發溫度。與Ir(5'-Phppy)3相比,化合物I-B之較低蒸發溫度導致相對清潔之蒸發(以較少蒸發殘餘物為特徵)。此可有利於此等裝置之商業生產。化合 物V亦具有較低之蒸發溫度(246℃)及清潔蒸發。低蒸發溫度可為與Ir(5'-Phppy)3相比化合物I-B及V之較低分子量的結果。此等結果證明雜片段金屬錯合物可具有由如上所述之不同配位子所賦予之理想特性。 As shown in Table 5, the compounds IB and V have a luminous efficiency (LE) higher than 55 cd/A, an external quantum efficiency (EQE) higher than 15%, a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of less than 72 nm, and x < 0.330. The device of CIE with y>0.620 acts well as a phosphorescent dopant. Further, the compound IB had an evaporation temperature of 231 ° C as compared with 322 ° C of Ir(5'-Phppy) 3 . The lower evaporation temperature of Compound IB resulted in relatively clean evaporation (characterized by less evaporation residue) compared to Ir(5'-Phppy) 3 . This can be advantageous for the commercial production of such devices. Compound V also had a lower evaporation temperature (246 ° C) and clean evaporation. The low evaporation temperature can be the result of lower molecular weights of the compounds IB and V compared to Ir(5'-Phppy) 3 . These results demonstrate that the heterozygous metal complex can have desirable properties imparted by different ligands as described above.
