A highly selective and sensitive pH chemosensor N,N-bis[(2-thiophene)-ethyl]-3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (TEPTD) was designed and synthesized through Schiff-base condensation reaction. It exhibited large Stokes shifts, good water solubility, excellent selectivity and outstanding photo-stability. The pK of the probe was 3.0, which indicated that it could be used in highly acid conditions. With the addition of H, the fluorescence intensity increased gradually. The sensing mechanisms involved photo-induced electron transfer, protonation and deprotonation, which were confirmed by H NMR titration experiment with trifluoroacetic acid. The probe can be used as a convenient probe to distinguish acidic from neutral or alkaline solutions by "naked-eye".

A cationic perylene probe was designed and synthesized for sensitive determination of tartrazine. In the presence of tartrazine, the fluorescence of the perylene probe was quenched by efficient supramolecular self-assembly of the perylene derivate. The quenching is caused by the synergistic effect of noncovalent interactions including static electricity, π-π stacking, and hydrophobic interaction.

Syphilis, caused by (), is associated with the oxidative stress due to its inflammation-like symptom, and detecting the reactive oxygen species (ROS) is crucial for monitoring the infectious process. Herein, we design and synthesize a perylene-based tunable fluorescent probe, PerqdOH, which can detect endogenous O˙ during infection. The fluorescence peak shifted from 540 nm to 750 nm with increasing O˙ levels.

The incorporation of electroactive organic building blocks into coordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offers a promising approach for adding electronic functionalities such as redox activity, electrical conductivity, and luminescence to these materials. The incorporation of perylene moieties into CPs is, in particular, of great interest due to its potential to introduce both luminescence and redox properties. Herein, we present an innovative synthesis method for producing a family of highly crystalline and stable coordination polymers based on perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylate (PTC) and various transition metals (TMs = Co, Ni, and Zn) with an isostructural framework.

Biothiols, including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), play key roles in biological processes, and detecting such thiols selectively is critical for understanding functions of biothiols. In this work, a pyridazine annelated perylene-based fluorescent probe PAPC is synthesized for highly selective detection of Cys. PAPC exhibits strong blue emission in PBS, while the red emission at 605 nm can be observed in the presence of Cys.
