Application

9-Fluorenone has been extensively used as a precursor to synthesize a variety of organic electronic materials. Some of the general examples are:
  • Synthesis of host for the blue and green phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (PHOLEDs).
  • Synthesis of fluorene-based molecular motors.
  • Synthesis of open-shell Chichibabin′s hydrocarbons as potential organic spintronic materials.
  • It also acts as a sensitizer in the formation of picene via photosensitization of 1,2-di(1-naphthyl)ethane.

A carbon-paste electrode modified with 2,7-bis(ferrocenyl ethyl)fluoren-9-one (2,7-BF) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was used for the sensitive and selective voltammetric determination of N-acetylcysteine (NAC). The mediated oxidation of NAC at the modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Also
