Perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and perylene diimide (PDI) have been widely used as photosensitizers in many applications. Photophysical properties are key factors for efficient application of these materials. Furthermore, many functionalization of these materials come from the motivation of tuning their solubility, which may affect the photophysical properties of the resulting materials. As such, it is imperative to study the electronic and photophysical properties of PTCDA and PDI derivatives. In this work, we report DFT studies of 36 molecules consisting 18 PTCDA molecules and 18 PDI derivatives with the same set of functionalization at the bay positions. DFT results show that the impact of functionalization is similar in HOMO and LUMO energies to both PTCDA and PDI derivatives. Analysis of electronic results indicates extension of electron delocalization along the bay positions 1 and 7 is important in altering absorption wavelengths or HOMO-LUMO gaps

This communication reports novel luminescent rhenium(I)-polypyridine complexes appended with a perylene diimide (PDI) or benzoperylene monoimide (BPMI) moiety through a non-conjugated linker. The photophysical and photochemical properties originating from the interactions of the metal polypyridine and perylene units were exploited to afford new cellular reagents with thiol-sensing capability and excellent photocytotoxic activity.

The spectral properties of emissive photoproducts, formed upon 633 nm irradiation of a terrylene diimide dye, were investigated. Ensemble and single-molecule level experiments were conducted by immobilizing the TDI dye molecules in a polystyrene film. In the bulk experiments, green emission could be observed from the photobleached areas (photobleached with 633 nm light) when excited with 480 or 514 nm light. Similar phenomena were also observed at the single-molecule level. On the basis of the single-molecule experiments, a conversion efficiency of about 5% was estimated for the formation of emissive spectrally blue-shifted photoproducts. These green emissive photoproducts have spectral properties that resemble those of lower rylene homologues, e.g. perylene diimide or perylene monoimide. Our results indicate that the formation of blue-shifted emissive photoproducts can have implications for analyzing single-molecule FRET experiments or multiple color-labeled fluorescent systems.

This paper studies the intramolecular photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) of covalent bonded azobenzene-perylene diimide (AZO-PDI) in solvents by using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy together with ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopic techniques. Fast fluorescence quenching is observed when AZO-PDI is excited at characteristic wavelengths of AZO and perylene moieties. Reductive electron-transfer with transfer rate faster than 1011 s−1 is found. This PET process is also consolidated by femtosecond transient absorption spectra.

The central dogma in constructing organic electron acceptors is to attach electron-withdrawing groups to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Yet, the full potentials of many organic acceptors were never realized due to synthetic obstacles. By combining the Wittig–Knoevenagel benzannulation, the Pd(0)-catalyzed cyanation, and nucleophilic addition/oxidation cyanation, six polynitrile Z-shaped perylene diimide were synthesized. These stable and soluble electron acceptors possess LUMO energy levels comparable with those of benchmark compounds. Electrochemical investigation reveals that each additional nitrile group reduces the LUMO energy by 0.2 eV.

Abstract New covalently C 60 ‐connected zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) derivatives have been synthesized by utilizing successive cycloaddition reactions of C 60 with a ZnPc derivative containing a pyridazine moiety employing Komatsu’s method in reaction of C 60 with phthalazine. The UV/Vis absorption spectrum of the fused conjugate ( 5 ) shows red shifts from the corresponding absorption of ZnPc derivative ( 8 ), indicating interactions between the ZnPc and C 60 moieties. The DFT calculations under non‐polar medium predict that the HOMO and LUMO of 5 localize on the ZnPc moiety, whereas LUMO+1 localizes on the C 60 moiety, which reasonably explain the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and absorption spectra in toluene. Electrochemical redox potentials of 5 in polar solvents indicate the first‐oxidation potential arises from the ZnPc moiety, whereas the first reduction potential is associated with the C 60 moiety, suggesting the LUMO localizes on the C 60 moiety in polar solvent. This reversal of the LUMO is supported by the ZnPc‐fluorescence quenching with a nearby C 60 moiety in benzonitrile, which leads to the charge‐separation via the excited singlet state of the ZnPc moiety. In toluene on the other hand, such a ZnPc‐fluorescence quenching owing to the photoinduced charge separation is not observed as predicted by the DFT‐calculated LUMO on the ZnPc moiety.
