Patent Application
20250188343
This invention is related to platinum complexes and devices including the platinum complexes.
Compounds capable of absorbing and/or emitting light can be ideally suited for use in a wide variety of optical and electroluminescent devices, including, for example, photo-absorbing devices such as solar- and photo-sensitive devices, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), photo-emitting devices, or devices capable of both photo-absorption and emission and as markers for bio-applications. Much research has been devoted to the discovery and optimization of organic and organometallic materials for using in optical and electroluminescent devices. Generally, research in this area aims to accomplish a number of goals, including improvements in absorption and emission efficiency, as well as improvements in processing ability.
Despite significant advances in research devoted to optical and electro-optical materials, many currently available materials exhibit a number of disadvantages, including poor processing ability, inefficient emission or absorption, and less than ideal stability, among others.
Thus, a need exists for new materials which exhibit improved performance in optical emitting and absorbing applications. Accordingly, such compounds, compositions, and devices comprising the same are disclosed herein SUMMARY
The present disclosure relates to platinum compounds that can be useful as emitters in display and lighting applications.

Also disclosed herein are compositions including one or more compounds disclosed herein.
Also disclosed herein are devices, such as OLEDs, including one or more compounds or compositions disclosed herein.
The accompanying figures, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate several non-limiting aspects and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention.
Additional aspects will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or can be learned by practice of the disclosure. Advantages will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive.
The present disclosure can be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of the invention and the Examples included therein.
Before the present compounds, devices, and/or methods are disclosed and described, it is to be understood that they are not limited to specific synthetic methods unless otherwise specified, or to particular reagents unless otherwise specified, as such can, of course, vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only and is not intended to be limiting. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present disclosure, example methods and materials are now described.
As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a” “an”, and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a component” includes mixtures of two or more components.
As used herein, the terms “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or cannot occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not.
Disclosed are the components to be used to prepare the compositions of the disclosure as well as the compositions themselves to be used within the methods disclosed herein. These and other materials are disclosed herein, and it is understood that when combinations, subsets, interactions, groups, etc. of these materials are disclosed that while specific reference of each various individual and collective combinations and permutation of these compounds cannot be explicitly disclosed, each is specifically contemplated and described herein. For example, if a particular compound is disclosed and discussed and a number of modifications that can be made to a number of molecules including the compounds are discussed, specifically contemplated is each and every combination and permutation of the compound and the modifications that are possible unless specifically indicated to the contrary. Thus, if a class of molecules A, B, and C are disclosed as well as a class of molecules D, E, and F and an example of a combination molecule, A-D is disclosed, then even if each is not individually recited each is individually and collectively contemplated meaning combinations, A-E, A-F, B-D, B-E, B-F, C-D, C-E, and C-F are considered disclosed. Likewise, any subset or combination of these is also disclosed. Thus, for example, the sub-group of A-E, B-F, and C-E would be considered disclosed. This concept applies to all aspects of this application including, but not limited to, steps in methods of making and using the compositions of the invention. Thus, if there are a variety of additional steps that can be performed it is understood that each of these additional steps can be performed with any specific embodiment or combination of embodiments of the methods of the invention.
As referred to herein, a linking atom can connect two groups such as, for example, an N and C group. A linking group is in one aspect disclosed as A, A1, and/or A3 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 includes, but are not limited to, hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, alkoxy, ═O, halogen, nitro, amine, amide, thiol, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, and heterocyclyl.
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, and heterocyclyl.
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,” and “A4” 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, dodecyl, 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.

As described herein, compounds of the disclosure may contain “optionally substituted” moieties. In general, the term “substituted,” whether preceded by the term “optionally” or not, means that one or more hydrogens of the designated moiety are replaced with a suitable substituent. Unless otherwise indicated, an “optionally substituted” group may have a suitable substituent at each substitutable position of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure may be substituted with more than one substituent selected from a specified group, the substituent may be either the same or different at every position. Combinations of substituents envisioned by this disclosure are preferably those that result in the formation of stable or chemically feasible compounds.

which is understood to be equivalent to a formula:
wherein n is typically an integer. That is, Rn is understood to represent five independent substituents, Rn(a), Rn(b), Rn(c), Rn(d), Rn(e). By “independent substituents,” it is meant that each R substituent can be independently defined. For example, if in one instance Rn(a) is halogen, then Rn(b) is not necessarily halogen in that instance.
Several references to R, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, etc. are made in chemical structures and moieties disclosed and described herein. Any description of R, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, etc. in the specification is applicable to any structure or moiety reciting R, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, etc. respectively.
Opto-electronic devices that make use of organic materials are becoming increasingly desirable for a number of reasons. Many of the materials used to make such devices are relatively inexpensive, so organic opto-electronic devices have the potential for cost advantages over inorganic devices. In addition, the inherent properties of organic materials, such as their flexibility, may make them well suited for particular applications such as fabrication on a flexible substrate.
Examples of organic opto-electronic devices include organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), organic phototransistors, organic photovoltaic cells, and organic photodetectors. For OLEDs, the organic materials may have performance advantages over conventional materials. For example, the wavelength at which an organic emissive layer emits light may generally be readily tuned with appropriate dopants.
Generally, a chemical structural change will affect the electronic structure of the compounds, which thereby affects the optical properties of the compounds, for example, emission and absorption spectra. Thus, the compounds of this disclosure can be tailored or tuned to a specific application that desires a particular emission or absorption characteristic. The optical properties of the metal compounds in this disclosure can be tuned by varying the structure of the ligand surrounding the metal center. For example, the metal compounds having a ligand with electron donating substituents or electron withdrawing substituents can be generally exhibit different optical properties, including emission and absorption spectra.
Owing to the potential of phosphorescent tetradentate platinum complexes for harvesting both electro-generated singlet and triplet excitions to achieve 100% internal quantum efficiency, these complexes are good candidate for the emitting materials of OLEDs. In some cases, there is an “emitting portion” and an “ancillary portion” in a ligand of platinum complex (e.g., a tetradentate platinum complex). If stabilizing substitution(s), such as conjugated group(s), aryl or heteroaromatic substitution(s) and so on, were introduced into the emitting portion, the “Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital” (HOMO) energy level, the “Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital” (LUMO) energy level, or both may be changed. So the energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO can be tuned. Thus, the emission spectra of phosphorescent tetradentate platinum complexes can be modified to lesser or greater extents, such that the emission spectra can become narrower or broader, such that the emission spectra can exhibit a blue shift or a red shift, or a combination thereof.
The emission of such disclosed complexes can be tuned, for example, from the ultraviolet to near-infrared, by, for example, modifying the ligand structure. In another aspect, the disclosed complexes can provide emission over a majority of the visible spectrum. In a specific example, the disclosed complexes can emit light over a range of from about 400 nm to about 700 nm. In another aspect, the disclosed complexes have improved stability and efficiency over traditional emission complexes. In yet another aspect, the disclosed complexes can be useful as luminescent labels in, for example, bio-applications, anti-cancer agents, emitters in organic light emitting diodes (OLED), or a combination thereof. In another aspect, the disclosed complexes can be useful in light emitting devices, such as, for example, compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), light emitting diodes (LED), incandescent lamps, and combinations thereof.
The compounds can also have other known emission mechanisms which are useful in devices.
Disclosed herein are compounds or compound complexes comprising platinum. The terms compound or compound complex are used interchangeably herein. In one aspect, the compounds disclosed herein have a neutral charge.
The compounds disclosed herein can exhibit desirable properties and have emission spectra, absorption spectra, or both that can be tuned via the selection of appropriate ligands. In another aspect, the present disclosure can exclude any one or more of the compounds, structures, or portions thereof, specifically recited herein.
The compounds disclosed herein are suited for use in a wide variety of optical and electro-optical devices, including, but not limited to, photo-absorbing devices such as solar- and photo-sensitive devices, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), photo-emitting devices, or devices capable of both photo-absorption and emission and as markers for bio-applications.
As briefly described above, the disclosed compounds are platinum complexes. In one aspect, the compounds disclosed herein can be used as host materials for OLED applications, such as full color displays.
The compounds disclosed herein are useful in a variety of applications. As light emitting materials, the compounds can be useful in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), luminescent devices and displays, and other light emitting devices.
