A supramolecular self-assembly has been constructed by perylene-bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin)s with water-soluble porphyrin through hydrophobic interactions, showing strong excitonic coupling interactions between perylene backbones and included porphyrins.

In vitro cultures with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) have previously been shown to differentially modulate the growth of immature bovine articular cartilage. IGF-1 stimulates expansive growth yet decreases compressive moduli and increases compressive Poisson's ratios, whereas TGF-β1 maintains tissue size, increases compressive moduli, and decrea...

Perylene monoimides or monoanhydrides are being intensively investigated as sensitizers in DSSCs. Keeping only one acceptor group, i.e. imide or anhydride, and introducing a donor group in the 9-position (such as diarylamine) proved to be important in order to obtain a favorable orbital partitioning strength and dipole moment of perylene compounds for DSSCs [1]. One way to control optical and e...

We prepared dendritic perylene bisimide probes with triblock structures: perylene bisimides fluorescence cores, branched oligo(glutamic acid)s and polyethylene glycol chains. These probes showed good water solubility, low cytotoxicity and strong fluorescence in live cells.

An extraordinarily large pi system based on tetrachloro-tetra(perylene bisimides) with very broad absorption spectra from the UV to the NIR region and an extremely strong electron-accepting ability has been synthesized from tetrachloro-di(perylene bisimides).

Co-assembly of ditopic perylene bisimide and azobenzene-functionalized melamine occurs with an unconventional stoichiometric ratio, providing well-defined nanostructures with a helically-coiled architecture where perylene chromophores are packed in desirable J-type arrangements.

Nanodiamond-perylene diimide composites retain solution phase optical properties of the parent perylene dye in solid state.

By photocyclization, benzene, thieno[3,2-b]thiophene, and fluorene units were embedded between the two perylene units. Symmetric oligomeric perylene bisimide 6 displays broad absorption and strong electron-accepting ability.

A competitive fluorescence assay of perylene-based molecular receptors has been established, and selective detection of UTP is achieved through improved aggregation arising from the specific interaction of perylene-tethered guanidinium with uridine and phosphate groups in UTP.

The perylene derivatives 3-isocyanoperylene (Per-N≡C) (4a) and N-(2,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-9-isocyano-perylene-3,4-dicarboximide (PMI-N≡C) (4b) were prepared and used to synthesize gold complexes [AuX(CNR)] (X = C6F5 (5a,b), C6F4-O(n)Bu-p (6b)). The reaction of 5b and 6b with HNEt2 led to the carbene complexes [AuX{C(NEt2)(NHR)}] (7b, 8b), respectively. The molecular structure of complexes 7b a...
