- heteroaryomatic group refers to “heteroaromatic ring group”.
- the iridium complex compound of the present invention is a compound represented by the following formula (1).
- Ir represents an iridium atom

- N 1 and N 2 represent nitrogen atoms.

- a fluorene skeleton into the ligand because the emission wavelength can be easily made into the target red region by combination with the ring Cy 2 skeleton, but conversely, the free rotational movement of the two benzene rings is inhibited. Due to the extremely flat structure, the solubility in a solvent and the dissolution stability in maintaining a uniform state as an ink and not causing precipitation are generally extremely deteriorated. In order to improve the solvent solubility, for example, a long chain alkyl group or the like is introduced at the 9 position of fluorene, but when such a material is used as a light emitting material of an organic electroluminescent device, it has an insulating property.
- the long-chain alkyl group of the compound significantly blocks the HOMO orbital of the complex molecule, thereby inhibiting the oxidation of the molecule and making charge recombination on the complex less likely to occur, resulting in deterioration of the device performance.
- the chemical structure is made rigid and energy dissipation to thermal vibration is prevented, the electron-withdrawing substituent is introduced into the ligand, and LUMO is lowered to enhance the MLCT property of the excited state.
- the method is used. From this point of view, for example, the fluorene structure is considered to be preferable since it is fairly rigid since two benzene rings are directly bonded to each other and two methylene groups which may have a substituent. If the rigid structure is too large, the interaction between molecules becomes strong and the solubility is greatly impaired.
- a heteroaromatic ring is placed at the 3-position of the fluorene ring. If it has a ligand structure, the conjugation is not strong because the two aromatic rings of the heteroaromatic ring and the fluorene ring are not on a straight line, and the LUMO of the ligand is not lowered and the MLCT property is kept high.

Abstract
Description
湿式成膜法に使用される材料には、有機溶剤に速やかに溶解することと、溶解した後析出せず均一状態を保持する、という2つの意味での溶解性が求められる。
したがって、有機電界発光素子の湿式成膜用材料には、従来より高い溶剤溶解性を有することが要求されている。
一方で、有機電界発光素子の発光色を目的とする色調とするために、波長調整のための置換基を配位子に導入する必要がある。後者は特に緑色以上に長波長であるもの、特に発光波長の極大値600nm以上を要求される赤色のイリジウム発光材料において重要となる。
溶解性と所望の色度を両立可能な材料設計の指針は未だ十分には得られていない。
特許文献6および7に具体的に記載されているイリジウム錯体化合物は縮環構造が大きすぎるため、高い溶剤溶解性を示さない。
さらに本発明は、高い溶剤溶解性、保存安定性及び発光特性を並立し得る、湿式成膜型の有機電界発光素子の発光材料として好適なイリジウム錯体化合物を提供することを課題とする。
さらに、ある特定の化学構造を有するイリジウム錯体化合物が、赤色発光材料として従来材料に比べ発光スペクトルの半値幅が広幅化することを見出した。
また、ある特定の化学構造を有するイリジウム錯体化合物が、保存安定性に優れ、高効率な発光を示すことを見出した。

この観点から、例えば、フルオレン構造は、二つのベンゼン環を直接結合と置換基を有していてもよいメチレン基の2つで結合させているのでかなり剛直であり、好ましいと考えられる。剛直な構造が大きすぎると分子間同士の相互作用が強くなり溶解性を大きく損なうため、フルオレン環にさらに縮環構造を導入することは避けなければならない。フルオレン基自体はメチレン基の存在により若干の電子供与性を有すると考えられるが、本発明の別の好ましい形態の一つであるイリジウム錯体化合物のように、フルオレン環の3位に複素芳香環を有する配位子構造であれば、複素芳香環とフルオレン環の2つのベンゼン環は一直線上ではないために共役は強くならず、配位子のLUMOは低められずMLCT性が高く保たれる。

この現象の理由は明らかではないが、補助配位子側のHOMOレベルが浅くなることによって励起状態の電子が失活する際、一部補助配位子側の軌道にも遷移するため、主配位子内での遷移と競合するため、複数のエネルギーギャップによる発光を示すためと推測する。

<配位子の合成方法>
本発明のイリジウム錯体化合物の配位子は、既知の方法の組み合わせなどにより合成され得る。特に、環Cy1のフルオレン環は、例えば、フルオレン環の2-位又は3-位に臭素、-B(OH)2基、アセチル基あるいはカルボキシ基を有する化合物を原料として用いることにより容易に導入できる。
本発明のイリジウム錯体化合物は、既知の方法の組み合わせなどにより合成できる。以下に詳しく説明する。
第一段階として、第一の配位子2当量と塩化イリジウムn水和物1当量の反応により塩素架橋イリジウム二核錯体を合成する。溶媒は通常2-エトキシエタノールと水の混合溶媒が用いられるが、無溶媒あるいは他の溶媒を用いてもよい。配位子を過剰量用いたり、塩基等の添加剤を用いて反応を促進することもできる。塩素に代えて臭素など他の架橋性陰イオン配位子を使用することもできる。
第一段階の二核錯体は式[A]と同様に合成できる。
第二段階は、該二核錯体にアセチルアセトンのような1,3-ジオン化合物を1当量以上、及び、炭酸ナトリウムのような該1,3-ジオン化合物の活性水素を引き抜き得る塩基性化合物を1当量以上反応させることにより、1,3-ジオナト配位子が配位する単核錯体へと変換する。通常原料の二核錯体を溶解しうるエトキシエタノールやジクロロメタンなどの溶媒が使用されるが、配位子が液状である場合無溶媒で実施することも可能である。反応温度に特に制限はないが、通常は0℃~200℃の範囲内で行われる。
本発明のイリジウム錯体化合物は、有機電界発光素子に用いられる材料、すなわち有機電界発光素子の赤色発光材料として好適に使用可能であり、有機電界発光素子やその他の発光素子等の発光材料としても好適に使用可能である。
本発明のイリジウム錯体化合物は、溶剤溶解性に優れることから、溶剤とともに使用することが好ましい。以下、本発明のイリジウム錯体化合物と溶剤とを含有する本発明の組成物(以下、「イリジウム錯体化合物含有組成物」と称す場合がある。)について説明する。
本発明のイリジウム錯体化合物はイリジウム錯体化合物含有組成物中に、1種のみ含まれていてもよく、2種以上が組み合わされて含まれていてもよい。
本発明の有機電界発光素子は、本発明のイリジウム錯体化合物を含むものである。
基板1は、有機電界発光素子の支持体となるものであり、通常、石英やガラスの板、金属板又は金属箔、プラスチックフィルム又はシート等が用いられる。これらのうち、ガラス板や、ポリエステル、ポリメタクリレート、ポリカーボネート、ポリスルホン等の透明な合成樹脂の板が好ましい。基板1は、外気による有機電界発光素子の劣化が起こり難いことからガスバリア性の高い材質とするのが好ましい。特に合成樹脂製の基板等のようにガスバリア性の低い材質を用いる場合は、基板1の少なくとも片面に緻密なシリコン酸化膜等を設けてガスバリア性を上げるのが好ましい。
陽極2は、発光層側の層に正孔を注入する機能を担う。陽極2は、通常、アルミニウム、金、銀、ニッケル、パラジウム、白金等の金属;インジウム及び/又はスズの酸化物等の金属酸化物;ヨウ化銅等のハロゲン化金属;カーボンブラック或いはポリ(3-メチルチオフェン)、ポリピロール、ポリアニリン等の導電性高分子等により構成される。
透明性が不要な場合は、陽極2の厚みは必要な強度等に応じて任意に厚みとすればよく、この場合、陽極2は基板1と同一の厚みでもよい。
陽極2側から発光層5側に正孔を輸送する機能を担う層は、通常、正孔注入輸送層又は正孔輸送層と呼ばれる。陽極2側から発光層5側に正孔を輸送する機能を担う層が2層以上ある場合に、より陽極2側に近い方の層を正孔注入層3と呼ぶことがある。正孔注入層3は、陽極2から発光層5側に正孔を輸送する機能を強化する点で、用いることが好ましい。正孔注入層3を用いる場合、通常、正孔注入層3は、陽極2上に形成される。
正孔注入層形成用組成物は、通常、正孔注入層3となる正孔輸送性化合物を含有する。
湿式成膜法の場合は、通常、更に溶剤も含有する。正孔注入層形成用組成物は、正孔輸送性が高く、注入された正孔を効率よく輸送できるのが好ましい。このため、正孔移動度が大きく、トラップとなる不純物が製造時や使用時等に発生し難いのが好ましい。また、安定性に優れ、イオン化ポテンシャルが小さく、可視光に対する透明性が高いことが好ましい。特に、正孔注入層3が発光層5と接する場合は、発光層5からの発光を消光しないものや発光層5とエキサイプレックスを形成して、発光効率を低下させないものが好ましい。
正孔注入層3は、正孔輸送性化合物の酸化により、正孔注入層3の導電率を向上させることができるため、電子受容性化合物を含有していることが好ましい。
カチオンラジカル化合物としては、正孔輸送性化合物から一電子取り除いた化学種であるカチオンラジカルと、対アニオンとからなるイオン化合物が好ましい。カチオンラジカルが正孔輸送性の高分子化合物由来である場合、カチオンラジカルは高分子化合物の繰り返し単位から一電子取り除いた構造となる。
ここでいう酸化重合は、モノマーを酸性溶液中で、ペルオキソ二硫酸塩等を用いて化学的に、又は、電気化学的に酸化するものである。この酸化重合(脱水素重合)の場合、モノマーが酸化されることにより高分子化されるとともに、酸性溶液由来のアニオンを対アニオンとする、高分子の繰り返し単位から一電子取り除かれたカチオンラジカルが生成する。
湿式成膜法により正孔注入層3を形成する場合、通常、正孔注入層3となる材料を可溶な溶剤(正孔注入層用溶剤)と混合して成膜用の組成物(正孔注入層形成用組成物)を調製し、この正孔注入層形成用組成物を正孔注入層3の下層に該当する層(通常は、陽極2)上に湿式成膜法により成膜し、乾燥させることにより形成させる。成膜した膜の乾燥は、湿式成膜法による発光層5の形成における乾燥方法と同様に行うことができる。
真空蒸着法により正孔注入層3を形成する場合には、通常、正孔注入層3の構成材料(前述の正孔輸送性化合物、電子受容性化合物等)の1種類又は2種類以上を真空容器内に設置された坩堝に入れ(2種類以上の材料を用いる場合は、通常各々を別々の坩堝に入れ)、真空容器内を真空ポンプで10-4Pa程度まで排気した後、坩堝を加熱して(2種類以上の材料を用いる場合は、通常各々の坩堝を加熱して)、坩堝内の材料の蒸発量を制御しながら蒸発させ(2種類以上の材料を用いる場合は、通常各々独立に蒸発量を制御しながら蒸発させ)、坩堝に向き合って置かれた基板上の陽極2上に正孔注入層3を形成させる。2種類以上の材料を用いる場合は、それらの混合物を坩堝に入れ、加熱、蒸発させて正孔注入層3を形成することもできる。
正孔輸送層4は、陽極2側から発光層5側に正孔を輸送する機能を担う層である。正孔輸送層4は、本発明の有機電界発光素子では、必須の層では無いが、陽極2から発光層5に正孔を輸送する機能を強化する点では、この層を設けることが好ましい。正孔輸送層4を設ける場合、通常、正孔輸送層4は、陽極2と発光層5の間に形成される。正孔注入層3がある場合、正孔輸送層4は正孔注入層3と発光層5の間に形成される。
湿式成膜法で正孔輸送層4を形成する場合は、通常、上述の正孔注入層3を湿式成膜法で形成する場合と同様にして、正孔注入層形成用組成物の代わりに正孔輸送層形成用組成物を用いて形成させる。
真空蒸着法で正孔輸送層4を形成する場合も、通常、上述の正孔注入層3を真空蒸着法で形成する場合と同様にして、正孔注入層3の構成材料の代わりに正孔輸送層4の構成材料を用いて形成させることができる。蒸着時の真空度、蒸着速度及び温度などの成膜条件などは、正孔注入層3の真空蒸着時と同様の条件で成膜することができる。
発光層5は、一対の電極間に電界が与えられた時に、陽極2から注入される正孔と陰極9から注入される電子が再結合することにより励起され、発光する機能を担う層である。
発光材料は、所望の発光波長で発光し、本発明の効果を損なわない限り特に制限はなく、公知の発光材料を適用可能である。発光材料は、蛍光発光材料でも、燐光発光材料でもよいが、発光効率が良好である材料が好ましく、内部量子効率の観点から燐光発光材料が好ましい。
電荷輸送性材料は、正電荷(正孔)又は負電荷(電子)輸送性を有する材料であり、本発明の効果を損なわない限り、特に制限はなく、公知の材料を適用可能である。
発光層5の形成方法は、真空蒸着法でも、湿式成膜法でもよいが、成膜性に優れることから、湿式成膜法が好ましい。
真空蒸着法により発光層5を形成する場合には、通常、発光層5の構成材料(前述の発光材料、電荷輸送性化合物等)の1種類又は2種類以上を真空容器内に設置された坩堝に入れ(2種類以上の材料を用いる場合は、通常各々を別々の坩堝に入れ)、真空容器内を真空ポンプで10-4Pa程度まで排気した後、坩堝を加熱して(2種類以上の材料を用いる場合は、通常各々の坩堝を加熱して)、坩堝内の材料の蒸発量を制御しながら蒸発させ(2種類以上の材料を用いる場合は、通常各々独立に蒸発量を制御しながら蒸発させ)、坩堝に向き合って置かれた正孔注入層3又は正孔輸送層4の上に発光層5を形成させる。2種類以上の材料を用いる場合は、それらの混合物を坩堝に入れ、加熱、蒸発させて発光層5を形成することもできる。
発光層5と後述の電子注入層8との間に、正孔阻止層6を設けてもよい。正孔阻止層6は、発光層5の上に、発光層5の陰極9側の界面に接するように積層される層である。
電子輸送層7は素子の電流効率をさらに向上させることを目的として、発光層5又は正孔素子層6と電子注入層8との間に設けられる。
電子注入層8は、陰極9から注入された電子を効率よく、電子輸送層7又は発光層5へ注入する役割を果たす。
さらに、バソフェナントロリン等の含窒素複素環化合物や8-ヒドロキシキノリンのアルミニウム錯体などの金属錯体に代表される有機電子輸送材料に、ナトリウム、カリウム、セシウム、リチウム、ルビジウム等のアルカリ金属をドープする(特開平10-270171号公報、特開2002-100478号公報、特開2002-100482号公報などに記載)ことにより、電子注入・輸送性が向上し優れた膜質を両立させることが可能となるため好ましい。この場合の膜厚は通常5nm以上、好ましくは10nm以上で、通常200nm以下、好ましくは100nm以下である。
湿式成膜法の場合の詳細は、前述の発光層5の場合と同様である。
陰極9は、発光層5側の層(電子注入層8又は発光層5など)に電子を注入する役割を果たす。陰極9の材料としては、前記の陽極2に使用される材料を用いることが可能であるが、効率よく電子注入を行なう上では、仕事関数の低い金属を用いることが好ましく、例えば、スズ、マグネシウム、インジウム、カルシウム、アルミニウム、銀等の金属又はそれらの合金などが用いられる。陰極9の材料としては、例えば、マグネシウム-銀合金、マグネシウム-インジウム合金、アルミニウム-リチウム合金等の低仕事関数の合金電極などが挙げられる。
以上、図1に示す層構成の素子を中心に説明したが、本発明の有機電界発光素子における陽極2及び陰極9と発光層5との間には、その性能を損なわない限り、上記説明にある層の他にも、任意の層を有していてもよく、また発光層5以外の任意の層を省略してもよい。
このため、電子阻止層も湿式成膜適合性を有することが好ましく、このような電子阻止層に用いられる材料としては、F8-TFBに代表されるジオクチルフルオレンとトリフェニルアミンの共重合体(国際公開第2004/084260号)等が挙げられる。
本発明の表示装置及び照明装置は、上述のような本発明の有機電界発光素子を用いたものである。本発明の表示装置及び照明装置の形式や構造については特に制限はなく、本発明の有機電界発光素子を用いて常法に従って組み立てることができる。

化合物3を、シクロヘキシルベンゼンに3質量%となるように混合した。室温にて、手による振盪のみで溶解性を観察したところ、いずれも速やかに溶解した。その後、100℃のホットプレートで5分加熱し、室温で50時間静置して析出の有無を観察したところ、いずれの溶液も均一状態を維持していた。
本発明のイリジウム錯体化合物である化合物3について、以下の方法で、発光量子収率、および最大発光波長の測定を行なった。結果を表3に示す。
化合物3を、室温下、2-メチルテトラヒドロフラン(アルドリッチ社製、脱水、安定剤非添加)に溶解し、1×10-5mol/lの溶液を調製した。この溶液をテフロン(登録商標)コック付きの石英セルに入れ、窒素バブリングを20分以上行い、室温で絶対量子収率を測定し、後述の比較例5の値を1.00とした相対値を算出した。
装置:浜松ホトニクス社製 有機EL量子収率測定装置C9920-02
光源:モノクロ光源L9799-01
検出器:マルチチャンネル検出器PMA-11
励起光:380nm
化合物3を、常温下で、2-メチルテトラヒドロフランに、濃度1×10-5mol/Lで溶解した溶液について、分光光度計(浜松ホトニクス社製 有機EL量子収率測定装置C9920-02)で燐光スペクトルを測定した。得られた燐光スペクトル強度の最大値を示す波長を、最大発光波長とした。
実施例5において、化合物3に代えて以下に示す化合物D-3、化合物D-4又は化合物D-5を用いた他は同様に溶液を調製し、発光量子収率、および最大発光波長を測定した。発光量子収率は、比較例5の値を1.00とした相対値で示した。化合物D-3~D-5は国際公開第2015/087961号の記載をもとに合成した。結果を表3に示す。
化学的に類似する構造であるイリジウム錯体化合物に関して、特に赤色発光領域においては発光波長と量子収率は多くの場合直線関係を示すことが知られている(例として、S.Okada,et al,Dalton Trans.,2005,1583-1590)。比較例5~7はフェニル-キナゾリン型配位子とフェニル-ベンゾチアゾール型配位子とが組み合わされたイリジウム錯体化合物であり、これらの間にも同様の関係があると考えられる。
実施例5の本発明のイリジウム錯体化合物は、比較例5~7のデータを結んだ線が示す実施例5(化合物3)の最大発光波長における発光量子効率よりも高い量子収率を示した。
