Practicable Syntheses of Electroluminescent Ionic 2,2′‐Bifluorenes
Abstract The development of a practicable library synthesis of ionic 2,2′‐bifluorenes is described that improves the safety and reduces waste associated with the ubiquitous method of preparing these and related electroluminescent compounds. Additionally, an X‐ray crystal structure that reveals how triflate counterions can provide a second link between the alkylimidazolium subunits and the photoluminescent core is presented.
