Two fluorescent nucleosides, 5-(perylen-3-ylethynyl)-2'-deoxyuridine and 5-[(perylen-3-yl)methoxypropyn-1-yl]-2'-deoxyuridine, were incorporated into synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides and spectral properties of the conjugates and their duplexes were studied.

Transport systems are developed to improve the solubility of the transported drug, increase its stability, enhance its pharmacological activity and target cancer while minimising side effects. In this work, nanoporous silica particles that can be functionalized and loaded with a large number of hydrophobic molecules are proposed. The designed system was modified with folic acid to target the folic acid receptors of cancer cells.

A series of triads, consisting of a triarylamine electron donor and a perylene diimide electron acceptor which were attached to two different wings of a triptycene bridging unit, was investigated concerning the dynamics of photoinduced charge separation and charge recombination processes with a particular focus on the involved spin-chemical aspects. Attaching electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents to the third wing of the triptycene bridge allowed tuning the electron transfer processes. These processes were investigated fs-transient absorption spectroscopy and ns-transient absorption spectroscopy in an external magnetic field.

Many amines with high toxicity always cause a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health; thus, their detection is important. Herein, a dual-mode colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent sensor based on cellulose for detecting amines has been constructed by a new strategy. This sensor is made of a "negative response" indicator (Lum-MDI-CA) and a "positive response" indicator (perylene tetracarboxylic acid, PTCA).

BRCA1 gene and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) are important markers of breast cancer, so accurate detection of them is significant for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. In this study, a potential-resolved ratio electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor using perylene diimide (PDI)-metal-organic framework and DNA nanoflowers (NFs)-CdS quantum dots (QDs) was constructed for detection of BRCA1 and CEA. Specifically, PDI-MOF and CdS QDs can generate potential-resolved intense ECL signals only using one coreactant, so the detection procedure can be effectively simplified.

By virtue of the modularity of their structures, their tunable optical and magnetic properties, and versatile applications, photogenerated triplet-radical systems provide an ideal platform for the study of the factors controlling spin communication in molecular frameworks. Typically, these compounds consist of an organic chromophore covalently attached to a stable radical. After formation of the chromophore triplet state by photoexcitation, two spin centres are present in the molecule that will interact.
