Abstract
The present invention relates to polymers comprising substituted anthracenyl units and to blends which comprise the polymers according to the invention. The invention is also directed to the use of the polymers and blends according to the invention in organic electronic devices and to these devices themselves.
Claims17
A polymer comprising at least one structural unit of the general formula (I)
- where the following applies to the symbols and indices used:
- Ar is an aryl, aryloxy, heteroaryl or heteroaryloxy group or an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system,
- R1 and R2 are each, independently of one another, Ar1, H, D, F, Cl, Br, I, N(Ar2)2, C(═O)Ar2, P(═O)Ar22, S(═O)Ar2, S(═O)2Ar2, CR3═CR3Ar2, CN, NO2, Si(R3)3, B(OR3)2, OSO2R3, a straight-chain alkyl, alkoxy or thioalkoxy group having 1 to 40 C atoms or a branched or cyclic alkyl, alkoxy or thioalkoxy group having 3 to 40 C atoms, each of which optionally is substituted by one or more radicals R3, where one or more non-adjacent CH2 groups optionally is replaced by R3C═CR3, C≡C, Si(R3)2, Ge(R3)2, Sn(R3)2, C═O, C═S, C═Se, C═NR3, P(═O)(R3), SO, SO2, NR3, O, S or CONR3 and where one or more H atoms optionally is replaced by F, Cl, Br, I, CN or NO2,
- Ar1 is selected on each occurrence, in each case independently of one another, from an aryl or heteroaryl group or an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system,
- Ar2 is an aryl, aryloxy, heteroaryl or heteroaryloxy group,
- R3 is in each case, independently of one another, H or an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 20 C atoms,
- where furthermore, if R1 and R2 both denote a radical Ar1, the compound of the formula (I) is then selected from the structures of the formulae (Ia), (Ib), (Ic) and (Id):
- where Ar1 is on each occurrence identical or different, R4, R5, R6 and R7 each, independently of one another, have the meaning indicated for R1,
- where n≧1 and r=1,
- and where the bonds denoted by an asterisk represent the bonds to the adjacent structural units in the polymer.

- and a further, different polymer, oligomer, dendrimer or a low-molecular-weight compound, where the following applies to the symbols and indices used:
- Ar is an aryl, aryloxy, heteroaryl or heteroaryloxy group or an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system,
- R1 and R2 are each, independently of one another, Ar1, H, D, F, Cl, Br, I, N(Ar2)2, C(═O)Ar2, P(═O)Ar22, S(═O)Ar2, S(═O)2Ar2, CR3═CR3Ar2, CN, NO2, Si(R3)3, B(OR3)2, OSO2R3, a straight-chain alkyl, alkoxy or thioalkoxy group having 1 to 40 C atoms or a branched or cyclic alkyl, alkoxy or thioalkoxy group having 3 to 40 C atoms, each of which optionally is substituted by one or more radicals R3, where one or more non-adjacent CH2 groups optionally is replaced by R3C═CR3, C≡C, Si(R3)2, Ge(R3)2, Sn(R3)2, C═O, C═S, C═Se, C═NR3, P(═O)(R3), SO, SO2, NR3, O, S or CONR3 and where one or more H atoms optionally is replaced by F, Cl, Br, I, CN or NO2,
- Ar1 is selected on each occurrence, in each case independently of one another, from an aryl or heteroaryl group or an aromatic or heteroaromatic ring system,
- Ar2 is an aryl, aryloxy, heteroaryl or heteroaryloxy group,
- R3 is in each case, independently of one another, H or an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 20 C atoms,
- n is ≧1 and r is 0 or 1,
- and where the bonds denoted by an asterisk represent the bonds to the adjacent structural units in the polymer.
