Abstract

Surface-active derivatives containing fluorenylidene groups were synthesized, with the goal of creating thin-film devices incorporating monolayers of electron-transporting materials. The new compounds were studied in monolayers at the air-water interface, and were further characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The spreading behaviour of long-chain esters of a fluorenylidene malononitrile carboxylic acid was relatively insensitive to the cross- ...
