Abstract
Two cruciform tetraindenospirofluorene-based acceptors embedding carbonyl (Spiro-4O) and dicyanovinylene (Spiro-8CN) functionalities are synthesized in high yields. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals a one-dimensional π-π stacking arrangement for Spiro-4O, while Spiro-8CN adopts a unique two-dimensional isotropic π-interaction. Cyclic voltammetry suggests a high electron affinity of -3.76 eV for Spiro-8CN. Such a packing motif and low LUMO energy for Spiro-8CN are important for bulk electron transport.
