ResumoThe synthesis and physical properties of four series of novel fluorene push−pull compounds (4−7) of the D−π−A type with intramolecular charge transfer (from 1,3- and 1,2-dithiole and 1,3-selenathiole donor (D) moieties) are described. The nature of the heteroatom (S or Se) in the donor fragment has no effect on the maxima of intramolecular absorption bands (λICT), whereas a change of position of the heteroatoms in the dithiole moiety from 1,3 to 1,2 leads to a substantial bathochromic shift in λICT. Solvatochromism, thermochromism, and negative halochromism in these compounds are demonstrated. Cyclic voltammograms of 4−7 exhibit two, separate, single-electron reversible redox waves, the potentials of which (as well as the ICT energies in the molecules) are quantitatively described by σp- constants of the substituents in the fluorene ring. Compounds 4−7 exhibit reversible salt formation in sulfuric acid, and for compound 5g in diluted sulfuric acid an additional absorption in the near-IR region has been observed that we attribute to radical species formation from the equilibrium [5g-H]+ + 5g ⇄ 5g•+ + [5g-H]•.
