The nonradiative decay of four dipolar fluorenone derivatives (FODs) was systematically investigated using steady state and time-resolved UV-vis absorption and fluorescence measurements combined with cyclic voltammetry. Analysis of the frontier orbital localization of the global minimum geometry and the vertical transitions was carried out from DFT calculations. The first singlet excited state was found to be π-π* in all derivatives regardless of the polarity of the solvent. Charge separation/recombination dominates the singlet excited state deactivation for carbazole-containing FODs. Intersystem crossing (ISC) operates exclusively in the 3,6-disubstituted variants as evidenced by phosphorescence experiments. In the case of CPAFO36, ISC competes disadvantageously with CT deactivation.

Structurally simple rod-like π-conjugated mesogens with thiophene directly connected to phenyl, biphenyl, and fluorenone rings with terminal chains are synthesized respectively. The occurrence of smectic A/smectic C phases is concurred by a hot-stage optical polarising microscope (HOPM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The static 1D and 2D C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies in the liquid crystalline phase are carried out to find the alignment-induced chemical shifts (AIS) and C- H dipolar couplings.

Fabricating complex nano-networks on solid substrates is a research area that has attracted much attention in the field of molecular self-assembly. By designing a fluorenone derivative of 2-heptyloxy-7-pentadecyloxy-9-fluorenone (HPF), we obtained a surface-confined system that presented diverse nanostructures. The assembled networks for HPF were highly dependent on the solvent and concentration.

We have studied the dynamics of solvation of electron injected directly into primary alcohols as well as that of fluorenone anion using pulse radiolysis technique with the time resolution of about 15 ps. Unlike in the previous reports, we observe nonexponential dynamics of both electron and anion solvation. While the ultrafast component, τ1 (<15 ps) representing the inertial time scale of the dynamics is faster than the time resolution of the spectrometer, the slower component, τ2, has been assigned to the translational motion leading to structural changes of the hydrogen bonding network of the solvent in the inner solvation cell or alcohol cluster.

Steady-state absorption and fluorescence measurements of fluorenone and 4-hydroxyfluorenone in neat and binary solvent mixtures were used to explore the reorganization energy in liquid system. The results of spectroscopic measurements were used to calculate, according to Marcus theory, the outer-sphere solvent reorganization energy, lambda(0), and the internal molecular reorganization energy, lambda(in). Preferential solvation of fluorenone and 4-hydroxyfluorenone in binary solvent mixtures has been studied by monitoring the outer-sphere solvent reorganization energy.
