Selenium-annulated perylene tetraesters that stabilize the hexagonal columnar phase have been synthesized and characterized, and their thermal and photophysical behavior has been determined. The mesophase range decreased with an increase in chain length. A comparative account of the structure-property relationships of this series of compounds with respect to parent perylene tetraesters, N- and S-annulated perylene tetraesters, in terms of their thermal, photophysical and electrochemical behavior is provided. The bay-annulation of perylene tetraesters is a good option to modify the thermal and photophysical properties of perylene derivatives and it can provide a new avenue for the synthesis of several technologically important self-assembling perylene derivatives.

The development of new π-conjugated motifs opens pathways to previously unexplored classes of organic semiconductors and functional dyes. In this study, five- and seven-membered carbocycles were fused at the ortho and bay regions of electron-deficient perylenes, starting from a common dialdehyde precursor. Structural analysis of the resulting perylene tetraesters, dianhydrides, and diimides (PDIs) revealed three distinct ring-fusion patterns and defined stereochemistry.

This study presents a comparative analysis of S-annulated perylene tetraester (PTE-S) and its sulfone (PTE-SO) analogue. This sulfone modification reduced melting point and stabilized a room temperature columnar rectangular (Col) phase in contrast to its parent PTE-S which showed a crystalline behaviour at room temperature. This molecular design also leads to red-shifted absorbance and emission in comparison to PTE-S, along with a tuning of photoluminescence from sky blue to green, achieving an impressive quantum yield of 85 %.

Herein, we reveal a homologous series of liquid crystals involving perylene tetraesters as the core connected to the four trialkoxyphenyl units at the periphery using the triazole moiety as the linker. A thorough analysis using differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microscopy, and small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering studies confirm that all the mesogens 1a-c hold a stable enantiotropic columnar mesophase. Suitable molecular orbital levels and excellent material photophysical and thermal properties encouraged the study of their electroluminescent properties.

Polymer nanoparticles are used extensively in biomedical applications. Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles obtained via nanoprecipitation were unstable and flocculate or precipitate from solution within a few hours. A simple method to improve the stability of the particles using surfactants at low concentrations was carried out to produce PMMA nanoparticles with long-term stability in water (>6 months).

Columnar phases formed by the stacking of disclike molecules with an intimate π-π overlap forms a 1D pathway for the anisotropic charge migration along the columns. Columnar phases have great potential in organic electronic devices to be utilized as active semiconducting layers in comparison to organic single crystals or amorphous polymers in terms of processability, ease of handling, and high charge carrier mobility. Intelligent molecular engineering of perylene and its derivatives provided access to tune the physical properties and self-assembly behavior.
