  • Patent number: 12073957
    Abstract: Provided is a conductor material having high conductivity. The conductor material according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has a configuration in which a conjugated polymeric compound having an electron donating group containing a heteroatom in a side chain is doped with a dopant containing an anion selected from a nitrogen anion, a boron anion, a phosphorus anion and an antimony anion, and a counter cation. The anion is preferably an anion represented by Formula (1) below: where R1 and R2 are identical or different, and each represent an electron withdrawing group; and R1 and R2 may be bonded to each other to form a ring with an adjacent nitrogen atom.

  • Patent number: 12049540
    Abstract: Provided is a dopant with which a conductor material having high electrical conductivity can be formed. The present disclosure relates to a dopant containing a radical cation represented by Formula (1) and a counter anion. In Formula (1), R1 to R3 may be the same or different, and each denotes a monovalent aromatic group or a group represented by Formula (r). at least one of R1 to R3 is a group represented by Formula (r), and n indicates the valence of the radical cation and is equal to the quantity (n) of nitrogen atoms in the formula. In Formula (r), Ar1, Ar2, and Ar3 may be the same or different, and each denotes a divalent aromatic group, and Ar4, Ar5, Ar6, and Ar7 may be the same or different, and each denotes a monovalent aromatic group optionally having a substituent represented by Formula (sb) below. Furthermore, m and n may be the same or different, and each represents an integer of 0 or greater.

  • Patent number: 12046390
    Abstract: A novel dopant according to the present disclosure includes an anion represented by the following Formula (1) and a counter cation. In Formula (1), R1 and R2 may be each at least one group selected from a nitro group, a cyano group, an acyl group, a carboxyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a haloalkyl group, a sulfo group, an alkylsulfonyl group, an halosulfonyl group, and a haloalkylsulfonyl group, or may be a group formed by R1 and R2 bonded to each other [—SO2-L-SO2—] (where L represents a haloalkylene group). The counter cation may be a radical cation represented by Formula (2), where R1 and R2 represent electron-withdrawing groups that may be bonded to each other to form a heterocycle, and R3 to R5 represent a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group that may have a substituent, or a heterocyclic group that may have a substituent. The dopant is capable of forming an electroconductive composition that shows a high conductivity.
