Syntheses and spectroscopic studies of spirobifluorene-bridged bipolar systems; photoinduced electron transfer reactions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Dec 7:(23):2874-5. doi: 10.1039/b208269a.

Abstract

Some 9,9'-spirobifluorene-bridged bipolar systems 1-3 containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole-conjugated oligoaryl and triarylamine moieties have been synthesized, in which 1 exhibits remarkable solvent-polarity dependent fluorescence properties due to a highly efficient photoinduced electron transfer reaction.
