Abstract

A series of fluorenylazomethine dyads and triads were prepared by simple condensation between the corresponding amine and aldehyde fluorene derivatives. These compounds were prepared as model compounds for investigating the effects of substitution and electronic groups on both the electrochemical properties and fluorescence quantum yields. It was found that the oxidation potential could be decreased by both incorporating electron ...
