Abstract

Abstract Highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO– LUMO) tuning is an important consideration in the development of organic-based semiconducting materials. A study of the specific effects and overall trends for the HOMO– LUMO tuning of a diverse series of 9-fluorenones by means of extended conjugation and substituent effects is described. Trends were explored in a range of compounds, ...
