    Assignee: Merck Patent GmbH
    Inventors: Philipp Stössel, Ingrid Bach, Hubert Spreitzer
  • Patent number: 7820305
    Abstract: The present invention relates to phosphorescent copolymers comprising trifunctional triplet emitters. The polymers according to the invention are highly soluble, readily accessible synthetically and more suitable for use in organic light-emitting diodes than are comparative materials in accordance with the prior art.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2005
    Date of Patent: October 26, 2010
    Assignee: Merck Patent GmbH
    Inventors: Niels Schulte, Susanne Heun, Ingrid Bach, Philipp Stössel, Kevin Treacher
  • Patent number: 7745627
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of high-purity, heteroleptic, orth-etallated, organometallic compounds of application as a functional material for colouring components in a wide range of applications within the widest sense of the electronics industry. A method is thus used for the cleavage of a bridged metal dimer with organometallic substances. Dihalo complexes, which may be used as monomers for polymerisations, in particular, may be produced thus.
