Fluorinated graphene with tuneable F-loading amount and properties was prepared via a facile solution approach using graphene oxide and liquid diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) as starting materials under mild conditions.

Azulene is a promising candidate for constructing optoelectronic materials. An effective strategy is presented to obtain high-performance conjugated polymers by incorporating 2,6-connected azulene units into the polymeric backbone, and two conjugated copolymers P(TBAzDI-TPD) and P(TBAzDI-TFB) were designed and synthesized based on this strategy. They are the first two examples for 2,6-connected azulene-based conjugated polymers and exhibit unipolar n-type transistor performance with an electron mobility of up to 0.42 cm V s , which is among the highest values for n-type polymeric semiconductors in bottom-gate top-contact organic field-effect transistors. Preliminary all-polymer solar cell devices with P(TBAzDI-TPD) as the electron acceptor and PTB7-Th as the electron donor display a power conversion efficiency of 1.82 %.

Furan‐cored AIEgen namely tetraphenylethylene‐furan (TPE‐F) is developed by diyne cyclization and its fluorescent and chemical properties are investigated and compared with its thiophene analogue. Results show that furan is superior to thiophene in terms of fluorescence, chromism, and charge transport. The mechanism of chromism of TPE‐F is investigated and its efficient solid‐state photoluminescence and good charge‐transporting property enable it to serve as light‐emitting material for the construction of electroluminescence devices with excellent performance. This work not only demonstrates an efficient strategy for constructing furan‐cored AIEgens but also indicates that they are promising as advanced optoelectronic materials.
