Patent ID: 7592414

Claim:
A low molecular weight or polymeric organic electroluminescent or laser material for use in electronic applications selected from the group consisting of A) a homo- or copolymer based on polyspiro, B) a low molecular weight compound having a 3-dimensional spirobifluorene structure, C) a low molecular weight compound having a 3-dimensional triptycene structure, and D) a derivative of quinacridone having at least one hydrogen atom, wherein at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by a group of the formula (A) wherein R is a straight-chain, branched or cyclic alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxy, thioalkoxy group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, C 4 -C 18 -aryl or C 2 -C 10 -alkenyl, in each of which one or more hydrogen atoms is optionally replaced by halogen or CN, and one or more nonadjacent carbon atoms is optionally replaced by —O—, —S—, —CO—, —COO— or —O—CO—, Z is —O—, —S—, —CO—, —COO—, —O—CO— or a bivalent group —(CR 1 R 2 ) n — in which R 1 and R 2 are each independently hydrogen, a straight-chain, branched or cyclic alkyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, thioalkoxy group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, C 4 -C 18 -aryl or C 2 -C 10 -alkenyl, in each of which one or more hydrogen atoms is optionally replaced by halogen or CN, and one or more nonadjacent carbon atoms is optionally replaced by —O—, —S—, —CO—, —COO— or —O—CO—, X is —O— or a bivalent group —(CR 1 R 2 ) n — in which R 1 and R 2 are each independently hydrogen, a straight-chain, branched or cyclic alkyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, thioalkoxy group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, C 4 -C 13 -aryl or C 2 -C 10 -alkenyl, in each of which one or more hydrogen atoms is optionally replaced by halogen or CN, and n is an integer from 1 to 20, with the proviso that the number of these A groups is limited by the maximum number of available substitutable hydrogen atoms.
