(Figure Presented) Straining at the leash: The main features of electron-accepting materials with a 9,9′-bifluorenylidene backbone are strain relief and a gain in aromaticity. These dimers (see picture) exhibit absorption near the red spectral region (ca. 600 nm) and HOMO (5.58-5.06 eV) and LUMO (3.37-3.09 eV) energy levels, which, together with high solubility and thermal stability render these materials attractive acceptors for bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells.

A simple and rapid procedure for the pinacolization of aromatic aldehydes and reduction of hindered ketones with inexpensive aluminium and KOH in methanol at ambient temperature is reported. The pinacolization and reduction are proposed to be proceeding via single electron transfer from aluminium. Copyright 1996 by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
