On the Transmission of Substituent Effects in Fluorenes and FluorenonesA series of 2‐ and 2,7‐substituted fluorenes (1) and fluorenones (2) were prepared either by electrophilic substitution (1c–f, h–j; 2c, d, j), reduction (1, 2k, l) or nucleophilic exchange (1g, m, n; 2m) via respective diazonium compounds as well as by oxydation (2e–h, n) of the hydrocarbons (1).The carbon‐13 n.m.r. spectra for the fluorene (1a–n) and fluorenone (2a–n) derivatives was analyzed using a dual substituent parameter (DSP) equation. The substituent chemical shifts (SCS) of the carbon atoms 4a, 4b, 7 and 4a, 4b, 7, 9 of eleven fluorenes and nine fluorenones, respectively, correlate with the
