NOVEL BORON COMPOUND, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND FUNCTIONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention provides novel boron compounds which are useful, depending on their characteristics, as light-emitting materials, electron-transport materials, electron-injection materials, hole-blocking materials, or organic semiconductor materials, and which have new molecular structures quite different from those of the heretofore known boron compounds; their production processes; and functional electronic devices using the same. The novel boron compounds are, for example, those of the following formula (1):
These boron compounds can be produced by, for example, reacting boron compounds of the following formula (4):
with compounds of the following formula (5):
in the presence of a catalyst containing at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of palladium, platinum, and nickel. These boron compounds are used for the functional electronic devices.
