Abstract: The structures of bifluorene and its derivatives was optimized by the density functional theory with B3LYP/6-31G functional while their maximal absorption wavelength λabs were studied by employing the time dependent density functional theory(TD-DFT) and ZINDO. On the basis of fully optimized structures, the molecular orbitals of bifluorene and its derivatives DFE, DFA, DFBT, FDBO and FSCHD were analyzed by comparison. The derivatives DFE, DFA and DFBT were better conjugated and their HOMO-LUMO gaps were narrower than that of BF. So they were better conductor than BF. And the absorption spectra of them were red shifting. How-ever, FDBO and FSCHD were in the other way round. The thermochemical properties were studied in this paper and these properties were important to experiment. It is found that DFBT has the lowest total energy in these molecules from analyzing the thermochemical parameters.
