[0693] Emission maxima are given in nm, quantum yields ϕ in % and CIE coordinates as x,y values. PLQY is determined using the following protocol: [0694] 1) Quality assurance: Anthracene in ethanol (known concentration) is used as reference [0695] 2) Excitation wavelength: the absorption maximum of the organic molecule is determined and the molecule is excited using this wavelength [0696] 3) Measurement [0697] Quantum yields are measured, for sample, of solutions or films under nitrogen atmosphere. The yield is calculated using the equation:
[0699] Production and Characterization of Optoelectronic Devices
[0700] Optoelectronic devices, in particular OLED devices, comprising organic molecules according to the invention can be produced via vacuum-deposition methods. If a layer contains more than one compound, the weight-percentage of one or more compounds is given in %. The total weight-percentage values amount to 100%, thus if a value is not given, the fraction of this compound equals to the difference between the given values and 100%.
[0701] The not fully optimized OLEDs are characterized using standard methods and measuring electroluminescence spectra, the external quantum efficiency (in %) in dependency on the intensity, calculated using the light detected by the photodiode, and the current. The OLED device lifetime is extracted from the change of the luminance during operation at constant current density. The LT50 value corresponds to the time, where the measured luminance decreased to 50% of the initial luminance, analogously LT80 corresponds to the time point, at which the measured luminance decreased to 80% of the initial luminance, LT 95 to the time point, at which the measured luminance decreased to 95% of the initial luminance, etc. Accelerated lifetime measurements are performed (e.g. applying increased current densities). For example, LT80 values at 500 cd/m.sup.2 are determined using the following equation:
wherein L.sub.0 denotes the initial luminance at the applied current density.
[0702] The values correspond to the average of several pixels (typically two to eight), the standard deviation between these pixels is given.
[0703] HPLC-MS
[0704] HPLC-MS analysis is performed on an HPLC by Agilent (1100 series) with MS-detector (Thermo LTQ XL).
[0705] Exemplarily a typical HPLC method is as follows: a reverse phase column 4.6 mm×150 mm, particle size 3.5 μm from Agilent (ZORBAX Eclipse Plus 95A C18, 4.6×150 mm, 3.5 μm HPLC column) is used in the HPLC. The HPLC-MS measurements are performed at room temperature (rt) following gradients

TABLE-US-00002 Solvent A: H.sub.2O (90%) MeCN (10%) Solvent B: H.sub.2O (10%) MeCN (90%) Solvent C: THF (50%) MeCN (50%)
[0706] An injection volume of 5 μL from a solution with a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL of the analyte is taken for the measurements.
[0707] Ionization of the probe is performed using an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source either in positive (APCI+) or negative (APCI−) ionization mode.
[0708] Concentration Dependent Spectral Purity
[0709] The organic molecules described herein in particular comprise severely decreased tendency to form intermolecular aggregates which are known to cause broadening of the photo luminescence (PL) spectra in doped films with increasing concentration. A measure of this spectral broadening in doped films (e.g. spin coated thin films containing 1 wt % or more of the organic molecule in PMMA matrix) with increasing concentration is the Concentration Dependent Spectral Purity (CDSP) value.
[0710] The CDSP is represented by the following relation:
CDSP=(λ.sub.max*CIEy)/c
wherein λ.sub.max is the maximum of the PL spectrum of a given organic molecule in nm, CIEy is the CIEy coordinate (Comission Internationale de l'Eclairage) derived from the PL spectrum of the organic molecule and c is the concentration of the organic molecule by weight in % in doped film.
[0711] The CDSP can be interpreted as follows:
[0712] If two different organic molecules have a comparable λ.sub.max in doped films of the same concentration, the one with a lower CDSP is preferred in terms of spectral purity. Especially the difference |ΔCDSP| between two concentrations provides an indication whether a material shows a high tendency to aggregate or not: the smaller the ΔCDSP value, the lower the aggregation tendency of a material.
[0713] Comparable values are especially obtained for concentrations c≥2 wt %.
