The syntheses of 9,9'-spiro-9-silabifluorene as well as 1,1-dichloro-1-silafluorene and 1,1-dimethyl-1-silafluorene through the formation of 2,2'-dibromobiphenyl have been emphasized with good yields. Their fluorescence spectra are obtained using photoluminescence spectrometer and assumed to be the precursors of the development of polymers.

Silicon-containing ${\pi}$-conjugated compounds, especially silacyclopentadienes (siloles), have emerged as a new class of electroactive materials with good electron transport properties in OLEDs. 9,9'-spiro-9-silabifluorene compound as well as its starting material 2,2'-dibromobiphenyl have been synthesized with higher yields. Spirosilabifluorene is expected to be an efficient host material for the blue-light emitting diodes. 9,9'-spiro-9-silabifluorene, 1,1-dichloro-1-silafluorene, and 1,1-dimethyl-1-silafluorene were characterized by $^1H$-NMR, UV/Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy.

Carbosilane dendrimers with silafluorenyl groups on the periphery were prepared by the reaction of 2,2'- dilithiumbiphenyl and dichlorosilyl groups on the carbosilane dendrimers at low temperature. The 1st to 4th generation of dendrimers with silafluorenyl groups were obtained with high yields and the products were purified by column chromatography. The unified properties of the dendrimers were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and displayed very low and regular polydispersity index (PDI) value. The silafluorenyl moieties on dendritic periphery accepted the potassium fluoride ions which were stabilized by criptand [222], and it proved strong photoluminescent properties.

Pentiptycene and its derivatives having cavity, ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking prohibition, and AIEE functionalities were synthesized. 6,7-Dibromo-1,4-dihydropentiptycene-1,4-epoxide was obtained from the reaction of 6,7-dibromo-1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-epoxide and anthracene. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Prepared pentiptycene derivatives could be useful precursor for organofluorene compounds which could be an excellent candidate for electronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLED's) and chemical sensor.

A simple and rapid method is described for detecting nitroaromatic explosives in air or seawater with the use of photoluminescent organosilicon compounds. The synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and fluorescence quenching efficiency of silafluorenes are reported. Silafluorenes were synthesized from the reduction of dilithiobiphenyl with dichlorosilanes. Two silafluorenes were used for the detection of nitroaromatic compounds. Detection of nitroaromatic molecules, such as 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and picric acid (PA), has been explored. A linear Stern-Volmer relationship was observed for the first three analytes. Fluorescence spectra of silafluorenes obtained in either toluene solutions or thin films displayed no shift in the maximum of the emission wavelength. The photoluminescence quenching occurs by a static mechanism.
