TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preparation (Claimed): Preparation of (A) comprises coupling a fluorine-containing reactive group with a carbonyl-functionalized naphthalene, phenanthrene or anthracene, which respectively carries a reactive group, adding an alkyl or arylmetal reagent and cyclizing the acid catalyst. Preparation of functionalized (A) comprises alkylating or acylating the corresponding non-functional compound or halogenating the non-functional compound followed by coupling with a reactive aromatic or a mono- or disubstituted amine or halogenating the non-functional compound, followed by metallizing and reacting with an electrophile. Preferred Definitions:    Y = 0-4 times of N or CR1;    E = a single bond, O, S, N(R2) or C(R2)2;    Ar1 = 5-20C aromatic aryl- or heteroaryl ring or 15-30C aromatic triarylamine ring, which is respectively substituted with one or more residues of R2, preferably aryl- or heteroaryl with 6-14 aromatic ring atoms or a triarylamine group with 18-22 aromatic ring atom; either    R1 = H, F, Br, C(=O)Ar, P(=O)Ar2, CR2=CR2Ar, linear 1-5C alkyl group or branched 3-5C alkyl group, where one or more non-adjacent CH2-group is substituted by -R2C=CR2-, -C=C- or -O- and one or more H atom is substituted by F or 18-30C triarylamine group that is substituted with one or more residues of R2, 6-16C aryl, 2-16C heteroaryl and/or a spirobifluorene group that is substituted with one or more residues of R2, and/or nitro-aryl (N(Ar)2) compound of formula (21) or (-N(Ar1)2); and    X = a bivalent bond, such as C(R1)2, C=O, C=NR1, O, S, S=O, SO2, N(R1), P(R1) or P(=O)R1; or    R1X = H, linear 1-5C alkyl or branched 3-5C alkyl, where one or more adjacent CH2-group is substituted with -R2C=CR2-, -C=C- or -O-, where one or more H atoms is substituted by F, 6-16C aryl and/or 2-16C heteroaryl group, which is substituted with one or more residues of R2; or    2R1 that are bonded to the same bridge = a ring system;    p = 0 or 1;    a+b = 1; and    c+d = 1.    SPECIFIC COMPOUNDS - 114 Compounds (A) are specifically disclosed e.g. 3,4-benzo-11,11,12,12-tetramethyl-11,12-dihydro-indeno(2,1-a)fluorene compound of formula (Ia), 3,4-benzo-11,11,12,12-tetramethyl-2,9-diphenyl-11,12-dihydro-indeno(2,1-a)fluorene, 2,9-bis-biphenyl-2-yl-3,4-benzo-11,11,12,12-tetramethyl-11,12-dihydro-indeno(2,1-a)fluorene, 3,4-benzo-11,11,12,12-tetramethyl-2,9-bis-(1,1';3',1'')terphenyl-5'-yl-11,12-dihydro-indeno(2,1-a)fluorene and 3,4-benzo-11,11,12,12-tetramethyl-2,9-di-o-tolyl-11,12-dihydro-indeno(2,1-a)fluorene.
