Abstract
Fluorene and its derivatives are important compounds, which have biphenyl structure with rigid plane, as well as large π-conjugated system. These special structures of fluorene compounds endow their distinct various functions, properties and biological activities, as well as wide potential application in photoelectrical materials, medicinal agents and so on. More importantly, the fluorene compounds are easily modified and various functional groups could be conveniently introduced into the fluorene ring. The syntheses of fluorene derivatives and their potential applications were extensively investigated and have been become highly active highlight in recent years, and the progress is quite rapid. Combining with our researches and refer- ring other works from literatures, this paper systematically reviews the recent advance in the research and development of fluorene in organic electro-luminescence materials, two-photon absorbing materials, photochromic materials, solar cells, me- dicinal chemistry and so on. The perspectives of the foreseeable future are also presented. Keywords fluorene; organic light emitting materials; solar cell; two-photon absorption; photochromic; biosensor
