Abstract

A small set of four new fluorenyl chromophores (5-5a-c) was accomplished by stepwise nucleophilic substitution, Friedel-Crafts acylation, Ullman coupling, aldol condensation and cyclization reactions. The fluorene moiety was substituted at 2,7,9 and 9′ positions with diverse groups. The synthesized derivatives were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopic techniques. The optical properties were evaluated by by UV-VIS absorption and Fluorescence studies. HOMO and LUMO energy levels were evaluated by electrochemical studies and were found at −5.37-5.83 eV and − 2.47-2.94 eV respectively with band gap energy values 2.88 to 2.91 eV. The band gap energy values suggested that these synthesized molecules can be manipulated in the designing of blue and green OLEDS. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
