USE OF A METAL COMPLEX AS N-DOPANT FOR AN ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTING MATRIX MATERIAL, ORGANIC SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIAL AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENT, AS WELL AS DOPANT AND LIGAND AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

The method involves using a metal complex as a dopant for doping an organic semiconducting matrix material to vary the electrical properties, whereby the metal complex represents an n-dopant relative to the matrix material, or using a metal complex to produce an electronic component with an electronically functional region containing the metal complex. The metal complex is a neutral electron-rich metal complex. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a semiconducting material (B) an organic semiconducting material (C) a method of manufacturing an organic semiconducting material (D) an electronic component (E) a dopant (F) a ligand for a metal complex (G) and the use of a ligand in a process of manufacturing a dopant.
