The invention discloses a dithioxanthone derivative, a preparation method thereof and an application in an electroluminescent device. The general
structural formula of the dithioxanthone derivatives is shown in formula I and formula II: wherein, X is selected from a
sulfur atom or a
sulfone group; R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 and R 5 Each independently selected from a
hydrogen atom, an arylamino group of 6 to 30 carbon atoms, an
aryl group of 6 to 30 carbon atoms, a substituted
aryl group of 6 to 30 carbon atoms, a substituted aromatic group of 5 to 50 ring atoms heterocyclic group. In the present invention, oxidized and unoxidized dithioxanthone derivatives introduce a variety of
electron-donating groups, realize effective donor-
acceptor molecular design, and can effectively separate the highest occupied orbital
energy level and the lowest empty orbital of molecules The
energy level not only reduces the
energy level difference between the
singlet state and the
triplet state, but also realizes the property of thermally activated delayed
fluorescence, and realizes the emission of different colors. Applied to the light-emitting layer of an organic electroluminescent device, the device has excellent performance.
