A detailed study of the UV-Vis spectra of the dibenzofluorene derivative belonging to the KuQuinones family was carried out in polar aprotic (CH3CN), polar protic (CH3OH), and slightly polar (CHCl3) solvents. The spectral properties of this compound underscore its similarity to other KuQuinones on the one hand, while on the other hand they confirm that it is not a planar but a three-dimensional (3D) structure with separated charges. The existence of keto–enol tautomerization and acid-base equilibrium under different pH conditions has also been investigated.
