Application

9-Fluorenone has been extensively used as a precursor to synthesize a variety of organic electronic materials. Some of the general examples are:
  • Synthesis of host for the blue and green phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PHOLEDs).
  • Synthesis of fluorene-based molecular motors.
  • Synthesis of open-shell Chichibabin′s hydrocarbons as potential organic spintronic materials.
  • It also acts as a sensitizer in the formation of picene via photosensitization of 1,2-di(1-naphthyl)ethane.

The geometric structures and infrared (IR) spectra in the electronically excited state of a novel doubly hydrogen-bonded complex formed by fluorenone and alcohols, which has been observed by IR spectra in experimental study, are investigated by the time-dependent density functional

A carbon-paste electrode modified with 2,7-bis(ferrocenyl ethyl)fluoren-9-one (2,7-BF) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was used for the sensitive and selective voltammetric determination of N-acetylcysteine (NAC). The mediated oxidation of NAC at the modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Also

Recent evidence suggests that following visible-light (VL) irradiation, CQ and the CQ-related photosensitizers benzil (BZ), benzophenone (BP), and 9-fluorenone (9-F) generate initiating radicals that may indiscriminately react with molecular oxygen forming reactive oxygen species (ROS). The purpose of this investigation

Biologically interesting fluoren-9-one and xanthen-9-one derivatives have been prepared by a novel aryl to imidoyl palladium migration, followed by intramolecular arylation. The fluoren-9-one synthesis appears to involve both a palladium migration mechanism and a C-H activation process proceeding through an
