An efficient route to cyclopentadiene-containing π-conjugated molecules is reported. A comparative analysis between the aryl/dienyl hybrids and their aromatic congeners shows a propensity of the diene moiety to reduce the optical band gap of a π-conjugated system without compromising a planar structural topology. Moreover, a novel poly(fluorene) derivative bearing alternating cyclopentadiene repeat units was synthesized to demonstrate the applicability of this method in polymer synthesis.
Photosensitized Electron Transfer from Azoalkanes: Generation, Fragmentation, and Rearrangement of Radical Cations Structurally Related to Dicyclopentadiene

The azoalkanes 1a-c extrude nitrogen upon photosensitized electron transfer (PET) to yield 1,3-radical cation intermediates 2(.+), which undergo interesting transformations.Electron back transfer (BET) affords the unrearranged housanes 2, but significant
