The quantum chemical calculation is used to study the photophysical properties and charge transport parameters of oligofluorenes with pure alkyl substituents, with diaryl substituents and with spiro-linked conjugated substituents. Transition wavelengths for absorption and emission of fluorene derivatives are calculated and match to experiment results. The vibronic features in the PL spectra are shown to associate with the stretching of the connection bonds between fluorene units. The reorganization energies and the transfer integrals associated with charge transport for these fluorene derivatives are also calculated and discussed. The unusual enhancement of hole mobility of oligofluorenes with spiro-linked conjugated substituents is attributed to the spiroconjugation.
