Abstract
Abstract Modular production is a convenient strategy that not only realizes the mass production of conjugated materials, but also precisely regulates their photoelectrical property for optoelectronic applications. Diarylfluorene is a functional building block in constructing organic semiconductors arising from its special electronic, spacial, and conformational structure. Because of easy chemical modification, tunable electronic structure, and high photoluminescence quantum yield, diarylfluorene‐based conjugated materials have undergone remarkable development in variety of low‐cost optoelectronic devices. Herein, the authors present an overview mainly to describe the recent research progresses of diarylfluorene‐based molecules, including 9,9′‐diarylfluorene, heteroatom‐containing spirocyclic diarylfluorene, and 4‐position substituted 9,9′‐diarylfluorene. The synthetic routes, molecular structures as well as their diverse applications toward optoelectronic devices are introduced and summarized systematically. Finally, the future challenges and development are also discussed in this vital research field.
