Abstract
Pure 2,2'-Dibromo-9,9'-spirobifluorene was synthesized by a method that did not involve troublesome dibromination of 9,9'-spirobifluorene or Sandmeyer reaction of 2,2'-diamino-9,9'-spirobifluorene. A series of donor-acceptor orthogonally substituted 9,9'-spirobifluorene was subsequently prepared showing rich variation of fluorescence in solution and in solid state. [reaction: see text]
