Benefits of technology

[0016] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an organic compound and a charge transporting material exhibiting both excellent hole transporting ability and excellent electron transporting ability, showing satisfactory durability against electric oxidation / reduction, and having a high triplet excitation level. Another object of the present invention is to provide an organic electroluminescent device which uses the organic compound, emits light with a high efficiency, is highly stably driven, and has a long lifetime.
[0032] An organic compound according to the first aspect exhibits both excellent hole transporting ability and excellent electron transporting ability, shows excellent durability against electric oxidation / reduction, and has a high triplet excitation level. Accordingly, an organic electroluminescent device according to the third aspect using this organic compound can emit light with a high luminance and a high efficiency, has increased stability, can be driven highly stably, and can have a longer lifetime.
[0034] The organic compound according to the first aspect inherently shows excellent oxidation / reduction stability and can thereby be advantageously applied to an electrophotographic photoreceptor, in addition to an organic electroluminescent device.

Problems solved by technology

Sufficient luminous efficiency, however, has not yet been obtained even when phosphorescent emission is used.
However, an organic electroluminescent device using the biphenyl derivative does not yield a satisfactorily high luminous efficiency, because the recombination of charge tends to occur unevenly in the vicinity of the cathode, and the device has poor balance in charge recombination.
The compound, however, shows light emission only under a high voltage and is supposed to be insufficient in luminance and luminous efficiency,
In addition, they have a poor durability as materials for organic electroluminescent devices.
Accordingly, they are insufficient in performance for use in blue-light emitting devices and phosphorescent emitting devices.
In addition, the compounds show a poor electrochemical durability when they are not fully substituted at the 2-, 4-, and 6-positions of the pyridine ring, at the 2-, 4-, and 6-positions of the pyrimidine ring, or at the 2-, 3-, 5-, and 6-positions of the pyrazine ring.
These compounds, however, are susceptible to localization of positive or negative charges when the molecules are subjected to electric oxidation or reduction.
The compounds having such a partial structure have a poor durability against electric oxidation and reduction.
This compound is expected to have an improved durability against electric oxidation, but has a poor hole transporting ability, because it has only one carbazolyl group.
Accordingly, the compound is not in good balance between the hole transporting ability and the electron transporting ability and is not suitable as a host material for a light-emitting layer of an organic electroluminescent device.
In addition, it has a poor thermal stability.

Syntheses of Target Compounds 1 to 3

[0318]

[0319] Concentrated sulfuric acid (11.6 ml) was added to a mixture as a solution of 2,5-difluorobenzaldehyde (10.24 g), acetophenone (8.66 g), and acetic acid (100 ml) in a dry air atmosphere, followed by stirring at 35° C. for seven hours. The mixture was combined with methanol (5 ml) and water (150 ml) to yield a precipitate, and the precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water. This was washed in a suspended state in methanol with heating under reflux and thereby yielded Target Compound 1 (10.94 g).

[0320] Target Compound 1 (6.34 g), 1-phenacylpyridinium bromide (10.83 g), ammonium acetate (50.0 g), and acetic acid (220 ml), and N,N-dimethylformamide (220 ml) were stirred with heating under reflux in a dry air atmosphere for six hours. The resulting mixture was combined with water (440 ml) to yield a precipitate, and the precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with methanol. This was purified by washing in a s...
