Description The object of the present invention is to provide molecules which are suitable for use in optoelectronic devices.
This object is achieved by the invention which provides a new class of organic molecules.
According to the invention the organic molecules are purely organic molecules, i.e. they do not contain any metal ions in contrast to metal complexes known for use in optoelectronic devices.
According to the present invention, the organic molecules exhibit emission maxima in the blue, sky-blue or green spectral range. The organic molecules exhibit in particular emission maxima between 420 nm and 520 nm, preferably between 440 nm and 495 nm, more preferably between 450 nm and 470 nm. The photoluminescence quantum yields of the organic molecules according to the invention are, in particular, 20 % or more. The use of the molecules according to the invention in an optoelectronic device, for example an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), leads to higher efficiencies or higher color purity, expressed by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of emission, of the device. Corresponding OLEDs have a higher stability than OLEDs with known emitter materials and comparable color.

It is understood that when a molecular fragment is described as being a substituent or otherwise attached to another moiety, its name may be written as if it were a fragment (e.g. naphtyl, dibenzofuryl) or as if it were the whole molecule (e.g. naphthalene, dibenzofuran). As used herein, these different ways of designating a substituent or attached fragment are considered to be equivalent.
In one embodiment, the organic molecules according to the invention have an excited state lifetime of not more than 150 ps, of not more than 100 ps, in particular of not more than 50 ps, more preferably of not more than 10 ps or not more than 7 ps in a film of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with 10% by weight of organic molecule at room temperature.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the organic molecules according to the invention have an emission peak in the visible or nearest ultraviolet range, i.e., in the range of a wavelength of from 380 to 800 nnn, with a full width at half maximum of less than 0.40 eV, preferably less than 0.35 eV, more preferably less than 0.33 eV, even more preferably less than 0.30 eV or even less than 0.28 eV in a film of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with 10 % by weight of organic molecule at room temperature.
Orbital and excited state energies can be determined either by means of experimental methods or by calculations employing quantum-chemical methods, in particular density functional theory calculations. The energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital EH m is determined by methods known to the person skilled in the art from cyclic voltammetry measurements with an accuracy of 0.1 eV. The energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital ELum is calculated as EHomo Egapy wherein EgaP is determined as follows: For host compounds, the onset of the emission spectrum of a film with 10 % by weight of host in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is used as EgaP, unless stated otherwise. For emitter molecules, EP is determined as the energy at which the excitation and emission spectra of a film with 10 % by weight of emitter in PMMA cross.

11 The energy of the first excited triplet state Ti is determined from the onset of the emission spectrum at low temperature, typically at 77 K. For host compounds, where the first excited singlet state and the lowest triplet state are energetically separated by > 0.4 eV, the phosphorescence is usually visible in a steady-state spectrum in 2-Me-THF. The triplet energy can thus be determined as the onset of the phosphorescence spectrum. For TADF emitter molecules, the energy of the first excited triplet state T1 is determined from the onset of the delayed emission spectrum at 77 K, if not otherwise stated, measured in a film of PMMA with 10 % by weight of emitter. Both for host and emitter compounds, the energy of the first excited singlet state Si is determined from the onset of the emission spectrum, if not otherwise stated, measured in a film of PMMA with % by weight of host or emitter compound.
The onset of an emission spectrum is determined by computing the intersection of the tangent to the emission spectrum with the x-axis. The tangent to the emission spectrum is set at the high-energy side of the emission band and at the point at half maximum of the maximum intensity of the emission spectrum.
A further aspect of the invention relates to a process for preparing the organic molecule of the invention (with an optional subsequent reaction), wherein tert-buthyllithium (iBuLi) and boron tribromide (BBr3) is used as a reactant:

17 wherein the OLED comprises each layer selected from the group of HIL, HTL, EBL, HBL, ETL, and EIL only optionally, different layers may be merged and the OLED may comprise more than one layer of each layer type defined above.
Furthermore, the organic electroluminescent device may, in one embodiment, comprise one or more protective layers protecting the device from damaging exposure to harmful species in the environment including, for example, moisture, vapor and/or gases.

4. electron transport layer, ETL
5. hole blocking layer, HBL

10. anode layer A
wherein the OLED comprises each layer selected from the group of HIL, HTL, EBL, HBL, ETL, and EIL only optionally, different layers may be merged and the OLED may comprise more than one layer of each layer types defined above.
In one embodiment of the invention, the organic electroluminescent device is an OLED, which may have a stacked architecture. In this architecture, contrary to the typical arrangement in which the OLEDs are placed side by side, the individual units are stacked on top of each other. Blended light may be generated with OLEDs exhibiting a stacked architecture, in particular white light may be generated by stacking blue, green and red OLEDs. Furthermore, the OLED
exhibiting a stacked architecture may comprise a charge generation layer (CGL), which is typically located between two OLED subunits and typically consists of a n-doped and p-doped layer with the n-doped layer of one CGL being typically located closer to the anode layer.

18 In one embodiment of the invention, the organic electroluminescent device is an OLED, which comprises two or more emission layers between anode and cathode. In particular, this so-called tandem OLED comprises three emission layers, wherein one emission layer emits red light, one emission layer emits green light and one emission layer emits blue light, and optionally may comprise further layers such as charge generation layers, blocking or transporting layers between the individual emission layers. In a further embodiment, the emission layers are adjacently stacked. In a further embodiment, the tandem OLED comprises a charge generation layer between each two emission layers. In addition, adjacent emission layers or emission layers separated by a charge generation layer may be merged.
The substrate may be formed by any material or composition of materials. Most frequently, glass slides are used as substrates. Alternatively, thin metal layers (e.g., copper, gold, silver or aluminum films) or plastic films or slides may be used. This may allow for a higher degree of flexibility. The anode layer A is mostly composed of materials allowing to obtain an (essentially) transparent film. As at least one of both electrodes should be (essentially) transparent in order to allow light emission from the OLED, either the anode layer A or the cathode layer C is transparent.
Preferably, the anode layer A comprises a large content or even consists of transparent conductive oxides (TC0s). Such anode layer A may, for example, comprise indium tin oxide, aluminum zinc oxide, fluorine doped tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, Pb0, SnO, zirconium oxide, molybdenum oxide, vanadium oxide, tungsten oxide, graphite, doped Si, doped Ge, doped GaAs, doped polyaniline, doped polypyrrol and/or doped polythiophene.
The anode layer A (essentially) may consist of indium tin oxide (ITO) (e.g., (In03)0.5(Sn02)0.1). The roughness of the anode layer A caused by the transparent conductive oxides (TC0s) may be compensated by using a hole injection layer (HIL). Further, the HIL may facilitate the injection of quasi charge carriers (i.e., holes) in that the transport of the quasi charge carriers from the TCO
to the hole transport layer (HTL) is facilitated. The hole injection layer (HIL) may comprise poly-3,4-ethylendioxy thiophene (PEDOT), polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), Mo02, V205, CuPC or Cul, in particular a mixture of PEDOT and PSS. The hole injection layer (HIL) may also prevent the diffusion of metals from the anode layer A into the hole transport layer (HTL). The HIL may exemplarily comprise PEDOT:PSS (poly-3,4-ethylendioxy thiophene: polystyrene sulfonate), PEDOT (poly-3,4-ethylendioxy thiophene), mMTDATA (4,4',4"-tris[phenyl(m-tolyl)amino]triphenylamine), Spiro-TAD ..

Adjacent to the anode layer A or hole injection layer (H IL), a hole transport layer (HTL) is typically located. Herein, any hole transport compound may be used. For example, electron-rich heteroaromatic compounds such as triarylamines and/or carbazoles may be used as hole transport compound. The HTL may decrease the energy barrier between the anode layer A and the light-emitting layer EML. The hole transport layer (HTL) may also be an electron blocking layer (EBL). Preferably, hole transport compounds bear comparably high energy levels of their triplet states TI. For example, the hole transport layer (HTL) may comprise a star-shaped heterocycle such as tris(4-carbazoy1-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA), poly-TPD (poly(4-butylphenyl-diphenyl-amine)), [alphaj-NPD (poly(4-butylphenyl-diphenyl-amine)), TAPC (4,4'-cyclohexyliden-bis[N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)benzenamine]), 2-TNATA
(4,4',4"-tris[2-naphthyl(phenypamino]triphenylamine), Spiro-TAD, DNTPD, NPB, NPNPB, Me0-TPD, HAT-CN
and/or TrisPcz (9,9'-dipheny1-6-(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-y1)-9H,91H-3,3'-bicarbazole). In addition, the HTL may comprise a p-doped layer, which may be composed of an inorganic or organic dopant in an organic hole-transporting matrix. Transition metal oxides such as vanadium oxide, molybdenum oxide or tungsten oxide may exemplarily be used as inorganic dopant.
Tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ), copper-pentafluorobenzoate (Cu(l)pFBz) or transition metal complexes may exemplarily be used as organic dopant.

Exemplarily, electron-poor compounds such as, e.g., benzimidazoles, pyridines, triazoles, oxadiazoles (e.g., 1,3,4-oxadiazole), phosphinoxides and sulfone, may be used.

El (1.00 equivalent), E2 (1.00 equivalent) were dissolved in dry toluene under nitrogen atmosphere and cooled to 0 C in an ice-bath. NaH (1.05 equivalent) was added in small portions.
The reaction mixture was stirred at 0 C for 10 min. The ice-bath was then removed and the

25 reaction allowed to warm up to room temperature. A solution of E3 (0.50 equivalents) in dry toluene was added and the reaction mixture heated to reflux under nitrogen overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent removed. The crude product was purified by column chromatography.
Z1 (1.00 equivalent) was dissolved in dry THF and the solution was cooled to -78 C under nitrogen. A solution of tert-Butyllithium (tBuLi) (6.00 equivalents) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to 0 C. After stirring for 30 minutes at 0 C, the reaction mixture was cooled again to -78 C.
A solution of boron tribromide (BBr3, 2.2 equivalents) in ether was added dropwise, the bath was removed and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature (it).
Subsequently, the reaction mixture was heated at reflux overnight. After cooling to it, hexane and Et0Ac were added, the mixture was filtered through celite and the filtrate was evaporated on silica gel eluted with 98:2 hexane/CH2Cl2 to give P1.
Cyclic voltammetty Cyclic voltammograms are measured from solutions having concentration of 10-3 mol/L of the organic molecules in dichloromethane or a suitable solvent and a suitable supporting electrolyte (e.g. 0.1 mol/L of tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate). The measurements are conducted at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere with a three-electrode assembly (Working and counter electrodes: Pt wire, reference electrode: Pt wire) and calibrated using FeCp2/FeCp2+ as internal standard. The HOMO data was corrected using ferrocene as internal standard against SCE.
Density functional theory calculation Molecular structures are optimized employing the BP86 functional and the resolution of identity approach (RI). Excitation energies are calculated using the (BP86) optimized structures employing Time-Dependent DFT (TD-DFT) methods. Orbital and excited state energies are calculated with the B3LYP functional. Def2-SVP basis sets (and a m4-grid for numerical integration are used. The Turbomole program package is used for all calculations.

Production and characterization of organic electroluminescence devices OLED devices comprising organic molecules according to the invention can be produced via vacuum-deposition methods. If a layer contains more than one compound, the weight-percentage of one or more compounds is given in %. The total weight-percentage values amount to 100 %, thus if a value is not given, the fraction of this compound equals to the difference between the given values and 100 %.
The not fully optimized OLEDs are characterized using standard methods and measuring electroluminescence spectra, the external quantum efficiency (in %) in dependency on the intensity, calculated using the light detected by the photodiode, and the current. The OLED device lifetime is extracted from the change of the luminance during operation at constant current density.
The LT50 value corresponds to the time, where the measured luminance decreased to 50 % of the initial luminance, analogously LT80 corresponds to the time point, at which the measured luminance decreased to 80 % of the initial luminance, LT 95 to the time point, at which the measured luminance decreased to 95 % of the initial luminance etc.
Accelerated lifetime measurements are performed (e.g. applying increased current densities).
Exemplarily LT80 values at 500 cd/m2 are determined using the following equation:
cd2 Lo LT80 (500 M2¨ = LT80(4) _______________________ cd2) \500 77¨ r2 wherein Lo denotes the initial luminance at the applied current density.
The values correspond to the average of several pixels (typically two to eight), the standard deviation between these pixels is given.
HPLC-MS:
HPLC-MS spectroscopy is performed on a HPLC by Agilent (1100 series) with MS-detector (Thermo LTQ XL). A reverse phase column 4,6mm x 150mm, particle size 5,0 pm from Waters (without pre-column) is used in the HPLC.
