L’及びL”は、一般式(1)におけるLと同義である。一般式(I-1)化合物及び/又は一般式(I-2)で表される化合物は一般式(1)で表される化合物合成時の出発原料や中間合成体であり、この場合、L’及びL”は単結合又は一般式(1)におけるLの部分構造を有する2価の基を表す。例えば、Lがビフェニレンを表す場合、L’及びL”は、単結合、フェニレン、ビフェニレンのいずれかになる。

本発明の製造方法においては一般式(MI)の化合物がハロゲン原子を含むが、本発明者らの検討によれば、このカルバゾール部位のアリールハライドに起因する不純物を昇華精製で除去し易いため、不純物含有量の調整に有利である。

[素子の作製]
厚み0.5mm、2.5cm角のITO膜を有するガラス基板(ジオマテック社製、表面抵抗10Ω/□)を洗浄容器に入れ、2-プロパノール中で超音波洗浄した後、30分間UV-オゾン処理を行った。この透明陽極(ITO膜)上に真空蒸着法にて以下の有機化合物層を順次蒸着した。
第1層:2-TNATA及びF4-TCNQ(質量比99.7:0.3):膜厚120nm
第2層:α-NPD:膜厚7nm
第3層:C-1:膜厚3nm
第4層:H-1及びD-1(質量比85:15):膜厚30nm
