- Abstract
- Because of their excellent optical and electronic properties, oligofluorenes and polyfluorenes have been investigated for years. Recently developed star-shaped oligomers bearing a truxene or isotruxene core are interesting two-dimensional oligomers. Since employment of a condensed ring system will be effective in further extension of pi-conjugation system, we studied electronic and vibrational properties of radical cation of CITFn, star-shaped condensed oligomer with isotruxene core and fluorene unit, by means of the radiation chemical methods. Absorption spectra of radical cation of CITFn were measured in the wide spectral range, which revealed extended pi-conjugation of CITFn. Furthermore, time-resolved resonance Raman spectra during pulse radiolysis revealed that the oxidation of CITFn induced structural change to enhance quinoidal character. The Raman data and theoretical calculation indicated that the rigid framework of the present star-shaped oligomer which makes the oligomer a planar structure is quite important in extension of the conjugation pathway.
