Substitutional doping of perylene with two boron atoms at the 6b/12b positions and two oxygen or nitrogen atoms at the 1/7 positions has been achieved. The modular synthesis route developed for these bis-BO- (3) and bis-BN-perylenes (5) starts from the readily accessible borinic acid derivative of the doubly brominated 9,10-dihydro-9,10-diboraanthracene (DBA), 1,5-Br DBA(OH) . A Stille-type reaction first furnishes the alkynyl-substituted species 1,5-(RCC) DBA(OH) (2), which undergo double ring closure to afford 3 via the gold-catalyzed addition of the O-H bonds to the C≡C bonds. Treatment of 2 with MeN(SiMe ) leads to aminoborane intermediates 1,5-(RCC) DBA(N(H)Me) , which can be ring-closed to give 5 in a similar manner as in the case of 3. Different substituents R (such as Me, tBuPh) can be introduced at the 2/8 positions of the perylene core. The products obtained undergo reversible reduction and are efficient blue/turquoise emitters.

Photoacid generators (PAGs) are invaluable molecular tools that exhibited tremendous potential in emerging interdisciplinary researches of life-science, nanotechnology and smart materials. However, current PAGs are primarily mono-functional in terms of acid generation and rely on UV/deep-blue light excitation, posing a fundamental hurdle to their broader adoption. Developing cooperatively functioned PAGs with long-wavelength light responsiveness presents a formidable challenge due to the absence of suitable molecular scaffolds.

Silanediol-Bay-Bridge Rigidified Axially Chiral Perylene Bisimide.

Chiral organic molecules with a complementing π-structure are highly desired to obtain materials with good semiconducting properties and pronounced chirality effects in the visible region. Herein, we introduce a novel design strategy to achieve an axially chiral and rigid perylene bisimide (PBI) dye by attaching the chirality-inducing 2,2'-biphenoxy moiety at one side of the bay area and the rigidity-inducing di--butylsilanediol bridge on the other side. This yielded a new bay-functionalized PBI derivative carrying the combination of a highly rigid and, simultaneously, an axially chiral perylene core.

Organic dopant cyclization and significantly improved RTP properties.

The internal rotation of triplet-generating molecules is detrimental to room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) radiation, and this rotation is usually mitigated by doping into rigid microenvironments. The chemical locking of internal rotation units in advance should be an effective strategy but is rarely studied in comparison. Herein, a triplet-generating molecule with two rotatable phenyls (DIA) was designed, synthesized, and then cyclized using two types of bonding bridges.

The impact of conformational change on the ground and excited states of seven perylene diimide (PDI)-based dimeric systems is examined by introducing longitudinal shift, transverse shift, and rotation of one monomer with respect to another. The minimum energy conformations are compared via an energy decomposition analysis. The heteroatom-substituted dimeric systems, such as B N-embedded PDI, trans-thio-PDI (trans-S-PDI), and N-PDI, show BN···π, C═S···π, and N···H interactions that survive over a longer range of longitudinal and transverse shifts.

Perylenediimide-chitosan/γ-poly (glutamic acid) microcapsules sizing (PDI-CS/γ-PGA) core-shell microcapsule is designed and used to establish a novel interphase in carbon fiber/epoxy (CF/EP) composite, and the interfacial property, as well as the damage self-reporting of the composite, is compared with desized carbon fiber (CF-desized)/EP and commercial carbon fiber (CF-COM)/EP composite. The ruptured PDI-CS/γ-PGA microcapsule exhibits strong "turn-on" green fluorescence from the released PDI upon mechanical stimuli. The anchoring of PDI-CS/γ-PGA microcapsule on carbon fiber with PDI-CS/γ-PGA microcapsules sizing (CF@PDI-CS/γ-PGA) surface results in increased chemical activity and roughness, exhibiting a weak green fluorescence signal instead of non-fluorescence on CF-desized and CF-COM surface.
