Abstract
Composition having an organic semiconducting material and a triplet-accepting material of formula (I) with a triplet energy level lower than the triplet energy level of the organic semiconducting material, in which each Ar is optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl group, n is 1-3, m is 1-5, q is 0 or 1, each R3 is H or a substituent, and each R4 is H or a substituent. Where R4 is not H, R4 and (Ar)m bound to the same carbon atom may be linked by a direct bond or a divalent group. Where n or m is at least 2, adjacent Ar groups may be linked by a divalent group. Where q=0, R3 is not H and is linked to (Ar)n by a direct bond or a divalent group.
Claims49
A composition comprising an organic semiconducting material and a triplet-accepting material of formula (I) having a triplet energy level lower than the triplet energy level of the organic semiconducting material:
- wherein each Ar independently represents an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl group;
- n is 1-3;
- m in each occurrence is independently 1-5;
- q is 0 or 1;
- each R3 is independently selected from H or a substituent;
- each R4 is independently selected from H or a substituent;
- in the case where R4 is not H, R4 and (Ar)m bound to the same carbon atom may be linked by a direct bond or a divalent group;
- in the case where R3 is not H, R3 independently in each occurrence and (Ar)rn may be linked by a direct bond or a divalent group;
- and adjacent Ar groups may be linked by a divalent group in the case where n or m is at least 2, with the proviso that, in the case where q=0, R3 is not H and is linked to (Ar)n by a direct bond or a divalent group.
A compound of formula (VI):
- wherein each Ar independently represents an aryl or heteroaryl group and wherein the compound may optionally be substituted with one or more substituents.
