Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the priority to and benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 2020114927916, filed on Dec. 17, 2020, and titled “NITROGEN-CONTAINING HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOF”, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of organic electroluminescence, and in particular, to nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and uses thereof.


BACKGROUND

Organic optoelectronic materials have advantages of diversity in synthesis, relatively low manufacturing cost, and excellent optical and electrical properties. Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have broad development potential in the uses of optoelectronic devices (for example, flat panel displays and illumination devices), due to their advantages such as wide viewing angle, fast response time, low operating voltage, thin thicknesses of panels, and the like.


In order to improve luminous efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes, various light-emitting material systems based on fluorescence and phosphorescence have been developed. Organic light-emitting diodes using fluorescent materials have the characteristic of high reliability, but their internal electroluminescence quantum efficiency is 25% or less under electrical excitation. This is because the ratio of the singlet excited state to the triplet excited state of excitons generated by the current is 1:3. In contrast, organic light-emitting diodes using phosphorescent materials have achieved almost 100% internal electroluminescence quantum efficiency, so the development of phosphorescent light-emitting materials has been extensively researched.


In addition to the development of emitters (guest materials) mentioned above, matrix materials (host materials) also play an important role in improving color purity, luminous efficiency, and stability. When using the host materials/the guest materials system as materials of the light-emitting layers, because the host materials have significant impact on efficiency and characteristics of electroluminescent devices, the selection of the host materials is important.


At present, 4,4′-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (CBP) is the most widely used phosphorescent substance as the host material. In recent years, Pioneer Electronic Corporation (Japan) and others have developed a high performance organic electroluminescent device, which uses compounds such as bis(2-methyl)-8-hydroxyquinoline-4-phenylphenol aluminum (III) (BAlq) and phenanthroline (BCP) as host materials. However, performances and lifetime of the devices obtained using these materials still need to be improved.


Therefore, solutions using the host materials still need to be improved and developed.


SUMMARY

An object of the disclosure is to provide a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound and uses thereof, aiming to provide a new type of host material to improve efficiency and lifetime of devices.


The nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound has a structure represented by formula (1):

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to illustrate the disclosure and not intended to limit the disclosure.


Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this context have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art. The terms used in the specification of the disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the disclosure. The term “and/or” used in this context includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.


The disclosure provides a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound and uses thereof. In order to make the object, the technical solutions, and effects of the disclosure clearer and more definite, the following will provide a further detailed description of the disclosure. It should be understood that the embodiments described here are only used to explain the disclosure and are not intended to limit the disclosure.


In the disclosure, the term “substituted” means that a hydrogen atom in one substituted group is substituted by a substituent group.


In the disclosure, the same substituent groups at different substituent sites may be independently selected from different groups. For example, if a formula includes multiple R1 groups, the R1 groups may be independently selected from different groups.


In the disclosure, the term “substituted or unsubstituted” means that a defined group may be substituted or not be substituted. When the defined group is substituted, it can be understood that the defined group is optionally substituted by acceptable groups in the art, which include, but not limited to, -D, a cyano group, an isocyano group, a nitro group, a halogen atom, a C1-10 alkyl group, a C1-10 alkoxy group, a C1-10 alkyl sulfur group, a C6-30 aryl group, a C6-30 aryloxy group, a C6-30 aryl sulfur group, a C3-30 heteroaryl group, a C1-30 silyl group, a C2-10 alkylamine group, a C6-30 arylamine group, or any combination of these groups.


In the disclosure, the term “the number of ring atoms” refers to a number of atoms constituting a ring of a structural compound obtained by atomic bonding, for example, a monocyclic compound, a fused ring compound, a cross-linked compound, a carbon ring compound, or a heterocyclic compound.

3. Preparation and Characterization of OLED Devices

The structures of OLED devices are as follows:

    • ITO/HIL (100 Å)/HTL (450 Å)/EBM (50 Å)/EML (400 Å)/ETL (350 Å)/cathode;
    • in which EML is composed of H-Host, E-Host, and transition metal complex of Ir(ppy)3. A mass ratio of H-Host to E-Host is 6:4, and a doping amount of Ir(ppy)3 is 10% w/w of the total mass of H-Host and E-Host. E-Host is selected from the organic compounds (1) to (18) in examples of the disclosure or (Ref). ETL is composed of 8-hydroxyquinoline lithium (LiQ) doped with 40% w/w of ETM. The structures of materials used in the devices are as follows:

The preparation steps for the OLED devices are as follows:

    • a. cleaning a conductive glass substrate. When used for the first time, the conductive glass substrate was cleaned using various solvents, such as chloroform, ketone, and isopropanol, followed by UV ozone plasma treatment;
    • b. forming the HIL (100 Å), the HTM (450 Å), the EBM (50 Å), the EML (400 Å), and the ETL (350 Å) by hot vapor deposition in high vacuum (10−6 millibars);
    • c. forming the cathode consisting of a LiF layer (1 nm) and an Al layer (150 nm) by hot evaporation in high vacuum (10−6 millibars); and
    • d. encapsulation. The devices were encapsulated by UV cured resin in a nitrogen glove box.


The current-voltage-brightness (JVL) characteristics of the OLED devices were measured by characterization devices, to obtain parameters such as efficiency, external quantum efficiency, and lifetime of the devices. Compared with the classical triazine molecule (Ref) with a seven-membered ring, relative parameters of the OLED devices are shown in Table 2:

It can be seen from the data in Table 2 that the disclosure can significantly improve the external quantum efficiency and lifetime of OLED devices by using the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds as E-host materials for light-emitting layers (EMLs).


Not bondary to the theory, this is because the eight-membered ring in the organic compound of the disclosure is relatively stable, and the organic compound has a larger ring structure, which can increase the conjugation system of the organic compound and make the organic compound more stable, thus improving stability of devices and reducing the starting voltages to increase lifetime of devices.


Further, by optimizing the combination of HTM, ETM, and host materials, performances of the devices, especially efficiency, driving voltage, and lifetime, can be further improved.


Various technical features of the above examples can be optionally combined. To make the description concise, the above examples do not illustrate all possible combinations of various technical features. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combinations of these technical features, they can be considered within the scope of this specification.


The above examples only illustrate several examples of the disclosure, and the description to these examples is specific and detailed, but cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the disclosure. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this disclosure, all of which fall within the scope of the disclosure.
