Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) enhanced perylene probe excimer emission is reported for the first time. It was observed that strong interactions between the perylene probe and the Ag NPs induced co-aggregation. As a result, a new in situ generated plasmonic absportion band of the Ag NPs at longer wavelength emerged. The monomer emission of the perylene probe was efficiently quenched, and dramatically enhanced probe excimer emission was observed. A remarkable emission enhancement of over 1000 fold was obtained compared to anionic polymers and other nanoparticles. The excimer emission intensity could be finely modulated by the size of the Ag NPs and the functionalities of the perylene probe. The observed Ag NPs enhanced perylene probe excimer emission shows good potential for the development of novel sensing techniques for various bioanalytical applications.

Perylene diimide (PDI) derivatives have been extensively explored as chromophoric dyes for functional organic materials. Here, the custom synthesized tyrosine appended perylene diimide (PDI-Tyr) derivative has shown strong aggregation in aqueous medium diminishing its emissive features, which was surpassed by the supramolecular interaction with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Complex formation between PDI-Tyr and β-CD, proposed from the absorption and emission studies, have been substantiated by the 1H-NMR, ITC and geometry optimization data.

Heparin is widely used to treat thrombosis because it is an effective anticoagulant. However, excessive use of heparin can lead to an increased risk of bleeding, which makes the quantitative detection of heparin very important. An amphiphilic perylene bisimide molecule (denoted PBI-9) was developed, which presented a near-infrared emission peak at 730 nm when it was aggregated.

The properties of soil matrix have an impact on the fluorescence intensity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which restricts the application of fluorescence spectral technology in detecting PAHs in soil. The present study explored the mechanism of the influence of soil matrix properties on the fluorescence intensity of PAHs from the perspective of specific surface area (SSA). A three-factor three-level experimental design was adopted for investigating the relationship between soil matrix properties, PAH fluorescence intensity, and soil SSA.

Because an individual single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) can absorb multiple photons, the exciton density within a single tube depends upon excitation conditions. In SWNT-based energy conversion systems, interactions between excitons and charges make it possible for multiple types of charge transfer reactions. We exploit a SWNT-molecular donor-acceptor hybrid system (-PBN(b)-Ph-PDI-[(6,5) SWNT]) that fixes spatial organization and stoichiometry of perylene diimide (PDI) electron acceptors on the nanotube surface, to elucidate how excitation fluence affects ultrafast charge separation (CS) and the nature of charge recombination (CR) dynamics triggered upon SWNT near-infrared excitation.
