This invention relates to blue emitting metal complexes with six-membered chelate rings based on fused carbazole, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) including these complexes, and devices including these OLEDs. This invention also relates to tetradentate platinum (II) complexes for narrow band green and red phosphorescent emitters, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDS) including these complexes, and devices including these OLEDS.
Phosphorescent cyclometalated metal complexes have attracted attention due to their potential applications as phosphorescent emitters for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Through diligent materials design, efficient OLEDs across parts of the visible spectrum have been achieved. However, the development of stable and efficient blue emitters and stable narrow band green and red emitters remains a challenge.
A series of platinum (II) complexes have been designed and synthesized. These complexes provide improved color purity and enhanced operational stability and are suitable for luminescent labels, emitters for organic light emitting diodes, and lighting applications.
General Formulas I-VIII represent blue light emitting platinum complexes with six-membered chelate rings based on fused carbazole suitable for full color displays and lighting applications. The complexes of General Formulas I-VIII have a decreased emission spectral bandwidth at room temperature due at least in part to the introduction of fused aryls to the carbazole skeleton. As depicted, complexes of General Formulas I-VIII have an axis of symmetry through M and X, that is, between each pair of Arn, where n is an integer from 1 to 4.
In General Formulas I-VIII:
Room temperature emission spectra of these complexes are very broad.
The aryls fused to the carbazole skeletons of the complexes of General Formulas I-VIII expand the conjugation system, contributing to a shift in energy levels. Compared to the energy level diagram in
Examples of compounds of General Formulas I-VIII are provided below, where each R1 and R2 are previously defined.

As referred to herein, a linking atom or group connects two atoms such as, for example, an N atom and a C atom. A linking atom or group is in one aspect disclosed as L1, L2, L3, etc. herein. The linking atom can optionally, if valency permits, have other chemical moieties attached. For example, in one aspect, an oxygen would not have any other chemical groups attached as the valency is satisfied once it is bonded to two groups (e.g., N and/or C groups). In another aspect, when carbon is the linking atom, two additional chemical moieties can be attached to the carbon. Suitable chemical moieties include amine, amide, thiol, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, and heterocyclyl moieties. The term “cyclic structure” or the like terms used herein refer to any cyclic chemical structure which includes, but is not limited to, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocyclyl, carbene, and N-heterocyclic carbene.
As used herein, the term “substituted” is contemplated to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds. In a broad aspect, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, and aromatic and nonaromatic substituents of organic compounds. Illustrative substituents include, for example, those described below. The permissible substituents can be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds. For purposes of this disclosure, the heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, can have hydrogen substituents and/or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein which satisfy the valences of the heteroatoms. This disclosure is not intended to be limited in any manner by the permissible substituents of organic compounds. Also, the terms “substitution” or “substituted with” include the implicit proviso that such substitution is in accordance with permitted valence of the substituted atom and the substituent, and that the substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., a compound that does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc. It is also contemplated that, in certain aspects, unless expressly indicated to the contrary, individual substituents can be further optionally substituted (i.e., further substituted or unsubstituted).
In defining various terms, “A1”, “A2”, “A3”, “A4” and “A5” are used herein as generic symbols to represent various specific substituents. These symbols can be any substituent, not limited to those disclosed herein, and when they are defined to be certain substituents in one instance, they can, in another instance, be defined as some other substituents.
The term “alkyl” as used herein is a branched or unbranched saturated hydrocarbon group of 1 to 24 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, s-pentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, dode cyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, eicosyl, tetracosyl, and the like. The alkyl group can be cyclic or acyclic. The alkyl group can be branched or unbranched. The alkyl group can also be substituted or unsubstituted. For example, the alkyl group can be substituted with one or more groups including, but not limited to, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, amino, ether, halide, hydroxy, nitro, silyl, sulfo-oxo, or thiol, as described herein. A “lower alkyl” group is an alkyl group containing from one to six (e.g., from one to four) carbon atoms.
Throughout the specification “alkyl” is generally used to refer to both unsubstituted alkyl groups and substituted alkyl groups; however, substituted alkyl groups are also specifically referred to herein by identifying the specific substituent(s) on the alkyl group. For example, the term “halogenated alkyl” or “haloalkyl” specifically refers to an alkyl group that is substituted with one or more halide, e.g., fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The term “alkoxyalkyl” specifically refers to an alkyl group that is substituted with one or more alkoxy groups, as described below. The term “alkylamino” specifically refers to an alkyl group that is substituted with one or more amino groups, as described below, and the like. When “alkyl” is used in one instance and a specific term such as “alkylalcohol” is used in another, it is not meant to imply that the term “alkyl” does not also refer to specific terms such as “alkylalcohol” and the like.
This practice is also used for other groups described herein. That is, while a term such as “cycloalkyl” refers to both unsubstituted and substituted cycloalkyl moieties, the substituted moieties can, in addition, be specifically identified herein; for example, a particular substituted cycloalkyl can be referred to as, e.g., an “alkylcycloalkyl.” Similarly, a substituted alkoxy can be specifically referred to as, e.g., a “halogenated alkoxy,” a particular substituted alkenyl can be, e.g., an “alkenylalcohol,” and the like. Again, the practice of using a general term, such as “cycloalkyl,” and a specific term, such as “alkylcycloalkyl,” is not meant to imply that the general term does not also include the specific term.

The term “aryl” as used herein is a group that contains any carbon-based aromatic group including, but not limited to, benzene, naphthalene, phenyl, biphenyl, phenoxybenzene, and the like. The term “aryl” also includes “heteroaryl,” which is defined as a group that contains an aromatic group that has at least one heteroatom incorporated within the ring of the aromatic group. Examples of heteroatoms include, but are not limited to, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus.

To a solution of 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)pyridine (1 eq) in acetic acid (0.1 M) was added aqueous HBr (48 wt %, 10 eq). The mixture was heated in a 120° C. oil bath for 12 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and water (equal volume to acetic acid) was then added. The mixture was neutralized with solid K2CO3 to pH 5-6. The precipitate was collected by filtration, rinsed with water 3 times, and dried under reduced pressure. The yield was quantitative.
The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 24 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature. Water (3 times the volume of DMSO) was then added. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc 3 times. The combined organic phase was then concentrated. Purification by column chromatography (hexanes:EtOAc=8:1 to 3:1) gave the 3O3 ligand in 85% yield.
To a solution of 3O3 ligand (1 eq) in EtOCH2CH2OH (0.02 M) were added K2PtCl4 (1.1 eq) and n-Bu4NBr (0.1 eq). The mixture was heated to reflux for 3 days. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Water was then added and the precipitate was then filtered and rinsed with water 3 times. The collected precipitate was then dried to give the crude product in quantitative yield.
To a solution of 3-bromophenol (1 eq) in DMSO (0.5 M) were added CuI (0.1 eq), 2-picolinic acid (0.2 eq), K3PO4 (2 eq) and 1,3-dibromobenzene (3 eq). The mixture was heated with 100° C. oil bath for 24 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature. Water (3 times the volume of DMSO) was then added. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc for 3 times. The combined organic phase was then concentrated. Purification by column chromatography (hexanes) gave the product in 55% yield.
To a solution of 3,3′-oxybis(bromobenzene) (1 eq) in dioxane (0.2 M) were added 4,4,4′,4′,5,5,5′,5′-octamethyl-2,2′-bi(1,3,2-dioxaborolane) (3 eq), Pd(dppf)Cl2·DCM (0.1 eq) and KOAc (4 eq). The mixture was heated with 80° C. oil bath for 24 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure. The product was isolated by column chromatography (Hexane:EtOAc=50:1 to 10:1) in 70% yield.
To an oven-dried flask were added 2,2′-(oxybis(3,1-phenylene))bis(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane) (1 eq), 2-bromo-4-(tert-butyl)pyridine (2.4 eq), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.1 eq), EtOH/H2O (2:1 ratio, 0.2 M) and aqueous K2CO3 (2M, 10 eq). The mixture was heated with 80° C. oil bath for 24 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure. The product was isolated by column chromatography (Hexane:EtOAc=10:1 to 4:1) in 64% yield.
To a solution of 3O3-dtb ligand (1 eq) in HOAc (0.02 M) were added K2PtCl4 (1.1 eq) and n-Bu4NBr (0.1 eq). The mixture was heated to reflux for 3 days. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered through a short pad of silica gel. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by column chromatography (hexanes:DCM=1:2 to 1:3) gave the Pt3O3-dtb in 68% yield.
