Ambipolar macrocycle derived from spiro-xanthene and carbazole: synthesis, structure-property relationships, electronic properties and host-guest investigation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Oct 10;60(82):11726-11729. doi: 10.1039/d4cc03440f.

Abstract

For the first time, we present the detailed synthesis, photophysical, electrochemical, host-guest and charge transport properties of spiro[fluorene-9,9'-xanthene] (SFX) and carbazole macrocycle SPS-NR-02. The electron and hole transport values measured using the space charge limited current (SCLC) method resulted in ambipolar charge transport with an electron to hole mobility ratio of 0.39.
