Fulvenebased
Fulvenebased refers to chemical compounds in which the fulvene motif serves as a central structural feature. A fulvene unit consists of a five-membered ring derived from cyclopentadiene with an exocyclic vinylidene substituent, and it can be substituted at multiple positions to create a wide range of derivatives. In fulvene-based molecules, the fulvene core often participates in extended π-conjugation with donor or acceptor groups, enabling tunable electronic and optical properties.
Structural and electronic characteristics of fulvene-based compounds arise from the combination of the nonaromatic fulvene ring
Synthesis and design strategies typically involve forming the fulvene core through condensation or cyclization approaches from
Applications of fulvene-based compounds span dyes, sensors, and materials for organic electronics and photonics. They are
