    Description

    EXAMPLES

    [0088] The following examples, in particular the methods, reagents, reaction conditions, process parameters, apparatus and the like described therein, are provided for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and are not to be construed as narrowing the invention. Percentages given herein or otherwise in connection with the invention are in weight % and any ratios given are weight ratios unless otherwise indicated. Superscript numbers at the respective C{circumflex over ()}C* ligand precursors refer to references (1) through (8) above.

    General Synthesis Rule

    [0089] In a heated Schlenk tube, 1 eq of the appropriate C{circumflex over ()}C* ligand precursor and 0.5 eq of silver(I) oxide are placed under an argon atmosphere and suspended in DMF. The mixture is stirred at the indicated temperature (T.sub.1) for 21 h. Subsequently, 1 eq of Pt(COD)Cl.sub.2 is added and stirring is carried out first for 3 h at room temperature and later for 21 h at the indicated temperature (T.sub.2). In the following, 2 eq of the corresponding bis(pyrazolyl)borate ligand is added at room temperature and the reaction is stirred for 21 h at 50 C. At the end of the reaction time, all volatiles are removed under high vacuum, the residue is extracted with dichloromethane (DCM) and the extract is filtered over Celite. Purification is carried out by column chromatography on silica gel 60 with the indicated eluent or a mixture of eluents adapted to the polarity. Appropriate eluent mixtures can be prepared, for example, from dichloromethane (DCM) and iso-hexane, the mixing ratio being adapted to the polarity. The solid obtained is washed with iso-hexanes and diethyl ether and dried under high vacuum.

    [0153] The compounds A to X and 3 to 12 according to the invention exhibit clear luminescence in the blue region of the visible spectrum with emission wavelength em highest intensity at room temperature starting at 430 nm (compound 7) through about 450 (compounds U, V: 449 nm each) and well below 500 nm (compounds N, O: 484 nm each) and thus in the blue region of the spectrum. The melting or decomposition temperatures are almost all located well above 200 C., with peak values above 300 C. with simultaneous highest intensity of the emission wavelength around about 460 nm, thus clearly in the blue region of the spectrum (compounds H, M) or 430 nm (compound 7). At the same time, the complexes according to the invention exhibit comparatively low CIE x and CIE y values. Thus, the CIE x values of the measured compounds are <0.2, in many cases <0.16 (preferred). Further photophysical characteristics of compounds A to V, W, X and 3 to 12 can be taken from Table 2.
