Organic electronic devices

Electronic device comprising a cathode, anode and at least one organic layer, wherein the organic layer comprises at least one compound of the formula (1)

• where the following applies to the symbols used:
• X is on each occurrence, identically or differently, O, S, Se, Te or NR;
• R is on each occurrence, identically or differently, an organic radical having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, which may also be bonded to X via an O or N atom, or OH or NH2;
• R1, R2 is on each occurrence, identically or differently, an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system having 1 to 40 aromatic C atoms, which may be substituted by one or more radicals R3, where the substituents R1 and Rmay form a mono- or polycyclic ring system with one another;
• R3 is on each occurrence, identically or differently, H, OH, N(R4)2, CN, B(R4)2, Si(R4)3, a straight-chain, branched or cyclic alkyl or alkoxy chain having 1 to 22 C atoms, in which, in addition, one or more non-adjacent C atoms may be replaced by —R4C═CR4—, —C≡C—, Si(R4)2, Ge(R4)2, Sn(R4)2, —NR4—, —O—, —S—, —CO—, —CO—O— or —O—CO—O— and where one or more H atoms may be replaced by fluorine, or an aryl, heteroaryl or aryloxy group having 1 to 40 C atoms, which may also be substituted by one or more radicals R4, or a combination of 2, 3 or 4 of these systems;
• two or more substituents R3 here may also form a ring system with one another;
