Aerobic oxidation of 9H-fluorenes to 9-fluorenones using mono-/multilayer graphene-supported alkaline catalyst
Zhang, Xin,Ji, Xuan,Su, Ruifei,Weeks, Brandon L.,Zhang, Zhao,Deng, Songlu
, p. 703 - 711 (2013/07/26)
The synthesis of 9-fluorenone derivatives has been achieved in high yield and with high purity by aerobic oxidation of 9H-fluorenes at room temperature in the presence of a graphene-supported KOH composite that acts as a catalyst in N,N-dimethylformamide. The new protocol involves very simple work-up procedures, and the solvent and the catalyst can be recycled and reused. A scaled-up preparative study employing this method was also conducted and showed its advantages of being both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, and has potential for application in industrial processes.

9-Fluorenones substituted with nitro, halogen, or alkyl groups can be easily obtained in high yield and purity by aerobic oxidation of 9H-fluorenes under ambient conditions in the presence of KOH in THF.
Improved, highly efficient, and green synthesis of bromofluorenones and nitrofluorenones in water
Zhang, Xin,Han, Jun-Bin,Li, Peng-Fei,Ji, Xuan,Zhang, Zhao
experimental part, p. 3804 - 3815 (2009/12/06)
A series of bromo-, nitro-, and bromonitrofluorenones were synthesized chemo-and regioselectively in 90-98% yield via electrophilic aromatic bromination and nitration under mild conditions using water as the sole solvent. These synthetic methods involve simple workup procedures and use only minimal amounts of organic solvents during the purification of products. The newly developed methods have the advantages of being cost-effective and environmentally friendly and could potentially be used for the large-scale synthesis of fluorenone derivatives.

Biphenyl- and fluorenyl-based potential molecular electronic devices
Price Jr., David W.,Tour, James M.
, p. 3131 - 3156 (2007/10/03)
New potential molecular electronics devices have been synthesized based on our knowledge of systems that we previously studied. Research has shown that simple molecular systems demonstrate negative differential resistance (NDR) and memory characteristics. The new molecules rely primarily on the redox properties of the compounds to improve upon the solid-state characteristics already observed. Electrochemical tests have been performed in order to evaluate the redox properties with the hope that the electrochemical results can be used as a predictive tool to evaluate the usefulness of those compounds in device configurations.
