This work is divided into two parts that are focused on the synthesis and assessment of photophysical properties of two structurally related compounds: (i) 9,9'-spirobifluorenes (SBFs) and (ii) dispiroindeno[2,1-c]fluorenes (DS-IFs). (i) In the first part, a five-step synthetic approach to SBFs was developed and as the crucial step was used an intermolecular [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of symmetrically or unsymmetrically substituted diynols with alkynes catalyzed by Rh-complexes. Catalyst screening showed that Wilkinson's catalyst (RhCl(PPh3)3) had the highest efficiency in yielding 1,2,3,4-substituted fluorenols - the key intermediates. The fluorenols were then converted into SBFs bearing various electron-donating and -withdrawing groups, aromatic substituents, and -extended aromatic hydrocarbon moieties (PAHs). Altogether 19 different SBFs were prepared and their photophysical properties screened. The fluorescent emission maxima em were in the range of 315-389 nm with excellent quantum yields s (up to 1.00). As far as the substituent effect is concerned the presence of electron-withdrawing substituents on the SBF scaffold results in the red-shift of the emission maxima. (ii) In the second part, a similar synthetic strategy was applied for synthesis DS-IFs. In this instance was utilized again the...
