In this work, three aryl-substituted DiSpiroFluorene-IndenoFluorenes (DSF-IFs 1-3) possessing different fluorescent properties due to their different main emitters have been investigated through a structure-property relationship study. Due to its particular geometry, the rigid DSF-IF platform 2 allows an 'aryl/fluorene/aryl' dimer to be preformed in the ground state leading, in the excited state, to a deep blue fluorescent emission through strong p-p intramolecular interactions between the two 'aryl/ fluorene/aryl' arms. 2 has been successfully used as an emitting layer in a SMOLED with electroluminescence arising from electrogenerated intramolecular excimers and the properties of these excimer-based OLEDs have been compared to those of two model compounds (1 and 3). The simple and non-optimized double-layer device displays a deep blue colour (CIE coordinates: 0.19; 0.18) exhibiting a luminance of 510 Cd m À2 with a luminous efficiency of ca. 0.1 Cd A À1. This work is, to the best of our knowledge, the first rational and comparative study describing an intramolecular excimer based-SMOLED.

Due to the spiro bridges, this new generation of dihydroindenofluorenes allows a spatial separation of HOMO and LUMO, which retains the high ET value of the dihydroindenofluorene backbone and excellent physical properties. This control of the electronic and physical properties has allowed a second generation of dihydroindeno[1,2-a]fluorene to be obtained with strongly enhanced performance in green and sky-blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs) relative to the first generation of materials. To date, this is the highest performance ever reported for a blue PhOLED by using a dihydroindenofluorene derivative. Through this structure-property relationship study, a remarkable difference of performance between syn and anti isomers has also been highlighted. This surprising behaviour has been attributed to the different symmetry of the two molecules, and highlights the importance of the geometry profiles in the design of host materials for PhOLEDs.

DSX-IF possesses good morphological and color stability upon heating, has a high quantum yield, and may be easily polymerized through anodic oxidation. Small molecule organic light emitting diodes (SMOLEDs), using this promising new dixanthene derivative as a blue emissive layer, exhibit a maximum luminance of ca. 3800 Cd.m(-2) with a luminous efficiency of 1 Cd.A(-1).

The optical and electrochemical properties have been carefully studied through a combined experimental and theoretical approach and compared with those of two pentaphenylene derivatives bearing methylenes (LPP) or carbonyl (LPP(]O) 2 ) on the bridgeheads. LPP(] C(CN) 2 ) 2 which possesses a very low LUMO level, ca. À4.02 eV, has been successfully used as an active layer in n-channel OFETs using the epoxy based photoresist SU-8 as a gate insulator. LPP(]C(CN) 2 ) 2 based n-channel OFETs show low voltage functioning (low gate-source and drain-source voltages), high ratio between the on and the off currents (2 Â 10 5 ), interesting subthreshold swing (S ¼ 1) and excellent stability under electrical stress and in a nitrogen atmosphere. More importantly, we have also shown that LPP(] C(CN) 2 ) 2 based n-channel OFETs present an excellent environmental stability. This work is to the best of our knowledge the first report on bridged pentaphenylene-based semiconductors in n-type OFETs and highlights the potential of such type of material to provide air stable OFETs.

Both polymers and monomers can be used as pH indicators in water and other medium. The fluorescence and absorption properties in function of the pH are presented and compared with those of fluorescein. In the excited state, the Fluorescein-fluorene monomer appears to be a stronger acid than fluorescein.

Their anodic oxidations lead to the formation of nonsoluble transparent polymers. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of these new molecules have been evaluated for further blue OLED applications.

These two positional isomers have been designed and synthesized through an efficient method. Because of the rigidity and orthogonality of the spiro bridge, both molecules exhibit a well-defined architecture which consists of two fluorene rings connecting to an indenofluorenyl unit via two sp 3 carbon atoms. The structural, electrochemical, optical, and thermal properties of these dispiro isomers are discussed.

This new blue emitter possesses bipolar properties as well as good morphological and emission color stabilities and has been successfully used in a blue emitting single-layer SMOLED, with performances impressively magnified compared to a nonbipolar indenofluorene emitter.

A regular decrease of the HOMO-LUMO gap is observed upon increasing the length of the pi-conjugated system. The nature of the P-moieties dramatically influences the optical and electrochemical properties of these phosphole-based oligomers. Electro-oxidation of derivative 5a afforded an electroactive polymer exhibiting reversible p-doping.

The influence of the main aromatic group on the electropolymerization ability is reported. We demonstrated that the lack of sulfur atoms in the monomer structure leads to an absence of polymerization due to the spin density located on the methylidene bridge in the radical cation. From modelling considerations, we have evaluated the participation of the methylidene bridge in the p-doping process. The good correlation between the p-doping level and the partial atomic charge carried by the methylidene bridge for poly(2) and poly indicates that an extension of the conjugated area improves the p-doping level when the side chain is electronically connected to the main chain of polymer. w The HTML version of this article has been enhanced with additional colour images. z Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Optimized Cartesian coordinates and corresponding energies for 1 0 , 2 0 and 3 (both neutral and radical cation species).

The spectroscopic, electrochemical and thermal properties of DTSBS and BBTSBS have been investigated. All these new spirobisiloles exhibit excellent thermal stability. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed reversible and irreversible oxidation and irreversible reduction processes. The highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO/LUMO) energy levels were determined from electrochemical measurements and DFT calculations. The HOMO/LUMO energy levels were estimated to lie in the range of À5.2 to À2.3 eV for DTSBS and À4.9 to À2.6 eV for BBTSBS. For both compounds, electropolymerization processes occur at potentials higher than 1.5 V leading to low band gap electrogenerated polymers. Spin-coating-deposited bulk-heterojunction solar cells fabricated with the novel spirobisiloles as donor and PCBM as acceptor displayed open-circuit voltages up to 0.4 V, short-circuit currents around 0.5 mA cm À2 , and power conversion efficiencies approaching 0.1%. † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: 1 H and 29 Si{ 1 H} NMR spectra of DTSBS, BBTSBS, TGA traces for DTSBS and BBTSBS, experimental DPV recorded in CH 2 Cl 2 -[NBu 4 ][PF 6 ] in the presence of DTSBS and BBTSBS, cyclic voltammetry in CH 2 Cl 2 -[NBu 4 ][PF 6 ] in the presence of DTSBS and BBTSBS, cyclic voltammetry in CH 2 Cl 2 -[NBu 4 ][PF 6 ] of poly(BBTSBS) and poly(DTSBS) deposited on a platinum electrode, UV visible spectroscopy of neutral, slightly p-doped and highly p-doped poly(BBTSBS) electrogenerated by anodic oxidation of BBTSBS on an ITO glass electrode.
