Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of 6,12-diarylindeno[1,2-b]fluorenes (IFs). Functionalization with electron donor and acceptor groups influences the ability of the IF scaffold to undergo two-electron oxidation and reduction to yield the corresponding 18- and 22-π-electron species, respectively. A single crystal of the pentafluorophenyl-substituted IF can serve as an active layer in an organic field-effect transistor (OFET). The important finding is that the single-crystal OFET yields an ambipolar device that is able to transport holes and electrons.

Due to their tunable energy levels, ability for intense light absorption, stability and ease of purification, non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have significantly contributed to the progress of organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Herein, a series of newly designed and synthesized NFAs specifically tailored are presented for OPV applications. A new class of NFAs possessing carbazole, fluorene, silafluorene derivatives, and benzothiadiazoles are synthesized.

Carbon dots (CDs) have attracted significant research interest due to their great potential in optoelectronic applications. Although various CDs have been synthesized the "bottom-up" pathway, few studies have focused on understanding the origins of the structural and optical diversities of CDs. In this study, two benzenoid acids with a slight structural variation (, 9-oxo-9-fluorene-2,7-dicarboxylic acid (FR) and 4,4'-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid (BP)) are employed as precursors, yielding orange- and red-emissive CDs with quantum yields of 43.

Article Synopsis
- A series of fluorene-based gold(I) complexes I-VI were synthesized and analyzed using advanced techniques like NMR and X-ray diffraction.
- The complexes exhibited varying colors of fluorescence (blue-green to yellow) in solid form, which could be altered through positional isomerism and increases in conjugation.
- When ground, the fluorescence of these compounds decreased significantly, particularly complex IV, which demonstrated a strong mechanochromic effect, leading to an innovative dual information encryption system based on its properties.

Article Synopsis
- - Two new nonbenzenoid polycyclic hydrocarbons (PHs) with one or two dicyclohepta--indacene (DCHI) units were created using a method called palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization.
- - The DCHI structures cause the compounds to adopt highly twisted shapes, which affect their aromatic characteristics and optoelectronic properties.
- - These properties include lower energy gaps, absorption of light in longer wavelengths, and the ability to undergo multiple reversible oxidation reactions, highlighting the significance of nonbenzenoid structures in these materials.

R. China.
Article Synopsis
- Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is key for advancements in optical displays and information tech, but achieving high performance is challenging due to trade-offs in material properties.
- The researchers used molecular imprinting technology to create new CPL-active polymer films from achiral fluorene-based polymers, reaching an impressive dissymmetry factor (g) over 4.2 × 10 and high fluorescence quantum yields.
- The process involves co-assembling polymers with a chiral inducer and an imprinting molecule, leading to stable CPL performance, full-color emission, and the ability to act as microreactors that can dynamically control CPL signals.
