Abstract

An electrical organic component includes a first electrode, an organic functional layer on the first electrode and a second electrode on the organic functional layer. The first and/or second electrodes contain rhenium compounds.

Claims (44)

1. An electrical organic component comprising:

a first electrode;

an organic functional layer disposed on the first electrode; and

a second electrode disposed on the organic functional layer,

wherein the first electrode comprises polymeric rhenium compounds and is transparent and/or wherein the second electrode comprises polymeric rhenium compounds and is transparent.

2. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the first and/or second electrode consists of polymeric rhenium compounds.

3. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the polymeric rhenium compounds comprise organometallic rhenium oxides.

4. The component according to claim 3 , wherein the polymeric rhenium compounds comprise a material selected from the group consisting of polyalkyltrioxorhenium, substituted or unsubstituted polycyclopentadienyltrioxorhenium and polytrioxorhenium with at least one aromatic substituent.

5. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the polymeric rhenium compound comprises polymethyltrioxorhenium.

6. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the polymeric rhenium compounds comprise dopants.

7. The component according to claim 6 , wherein the dopants comprise dopants selected from the group consisting of tetrathiafulvalene, bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene, SbF 3 , V, Mo and W.

8. The component according to claim 1 , further comprising a doped electrically semiconducting layer between the organic functional layer and the first or the second electrode.

9. The component according to claim 8 , wherein the doped electrically semiconducting layer comprises a dopant that comprises rhenium compounds.

10. The component according to claim 9 , wherein the dopant consists of an ReO 3 unit to which a residue M is bonded.

11. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the component is a field effect transistor, solar cell or photodetector.

12. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the component comprises a light emitting diode.

13. The component according to claim 12 , wherein the organic functional layer comprises a radiation-emitting layer.

14. A method for producing an electrical organic component, the method comprising:

forming an arrangement of functional layers on a substrate, wherein the arrangement of functional layers comprises a first electrode, an organic functional layer arranged on the first electrode and a second electrode arranged on the organic functional layer, wherein the first electrode comprises polymeric rhenium compounds and is transparent and/or wherein the second electrode comprises polymeric rhenium compounds and is transparent.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein forming the arrangement of functional layers comprises:

forming the first electrode on the substrate;

forming the organic functional layer on the first electrode; and

forming the second electrode on the organic functional layer.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein forming the first and/or second electrode comprises

condensing monomeric rhenium compounds onto the substrate and/or onto the organic functional layer; and

then heating the condensed monomeric rhenium compounds thereby polymerizing the rhenium compounds.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the monomeric rhenium compounds comprise compounds selected from the group consisting of alkyltrioxorhenium, substituted or unsubstituted cyclopentadienyltrioxorhenium and trioxorhenium with at least one aromatic substituent.
