AbstractA novel spirobifluorene diamine monomer, 2,2′-diamino-7-tert-butyl-9,9′-spirobifluorene, was obtained starting from the readily available reagent 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl. The key step of the synthesis is the introduction of a nitro group into the 2-position of the spirobifluorene through the loss of tert-butyl at the 2-position. Graphical Abstract
A Tf2O-mediated, direct dehydrative coupling of (hetero)biaryls and fluorenones proceeds to form the corresponding spirobifluorenes in good to high yields. The reaction system allows the relatively simple nonhalogenated and nonmetalated starting substrates to be directly adopted in the spirocyclisation reaction. In addition, the double cyclisation reaction is easily performed, giving the highly spiro-conjugated

Five novel spirobifluorene derivatives, SPF-DM, SPF-MB, SPF-BB, BSPF-NA1 and BSPF-NA2 were synthesized starting from the readily available reagent 4,4'-bisalkylated biphenyl. Their linear absorption, fluorescence and thermal properties were examined and their redox potential levels were estimated by cyclic voltammetry. These compounds possess high thermal stability. SPF-MB and SPF-BB possess excellent spectral sensitivities to pH changes and can be used as optical pH sensors of a wide pH range. The recognition behavior of SPF-BB toward various metal ions has been evaluated in a acetonitrile/water (15:1, v/v) solvent system. SPF-BB is highly selective in recognizing Ag+. The electroluminescent properties of SPF-DM, SPF-MB, BSPF-NA1 and BSPF-NA2 are demonstrated with a device configuration of ITO/MoO3 (6 nm)/NPB (80 nm)/EML (30 nm)/TPBI (40 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm). The devices of BSPF-NA1 and BSPF-NA2 display a yellow emission in the EL spectra and their maximum brightness reached 380 and 311 cd m (2), respectively. At low turn-on voltage (7.9 V) a light blue emission was observed in the device of SPF-DM and its maximum brightness reached 391 cd m (2). Notably, the device of SPF-MB has a white emission with CIE coordinates (0.293, 0.307). (C) 2012 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
