General description

Fluorene is a rigid, planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. White crystals of fluorene have violet fluorescence, from which its name derives. It is used as a precursor to other fluorene compounds. Fluorene is used as a chemical intermediate in the formation of polyradicals for resins as well as the manufacture of resinous products and dyes.

Application

Fluorene was used study the extraction of specific, semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs).

Features and Benefits

As a monomer, fluorene exhibits significant solubility while maintaining a high degree of delocalization.

Developing a cost-effective and simple micro-analysis tool has long been an important objective in the toxicological detection of fluorene. In this study, a disposable paper-based micro-analysis device (μ-PAD) was designed using graphite doped with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to hand

To understand how fluorene-based polymers selectively extract specific semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), we compared the optical transitions of SWCNTs wrapped with poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-pyridine) (PFOPy), i.e., structure-selective polymers, with those wrapped with poly(9,9-di-n-dodecylfluorene) (PFD), i.e., non-selective polymers, in organic solvents by

Diphenylcarbene (DPC) generated by high-intensity laser photolysis of diphenyldiazomethane rearranges to fluorene (FL) by two distinct mechanisms as revealed by methyl-group labeling. Thus, excimer laser irradiation of p,p'-dimethyldiphenyldiazomethane generates 3,6-dimethylfluorene (3,6-DMF) and 2,7-dimethylfluorene (2,7-DMF), which were identified by fluorescence measurements
