A chemical sensor that can induce near-infrared red-shifted response represents a promising strategy for the design and development of anion probes. In this work, novel CH-controlled colorimetric probe 3 based on anthracene carboximide was developed for near-infrared detection of cyanide. Probe 3 consisted of CHCN binding site to anthracene carboximide fluorophore, and showed a significant visual change from yellow-green (535 nm) to deep violet (825 nm) with a larger redshift (≈ 290 nm) and fluorescence quenching at 480 nm and 520 nm upon interacting with cyanide. Job curves determined 1:1 binding stoichiometry of probe 3 with cyanide. Additonally, probe 3 detected cyanide ion conveniently in aqueous solution and could be reused after trifluoroacetic acid treatment. Colorimetric test paper was used to detect cyanide in aqueous solutions. The C-H deprotonation sensing mechanism was confirmed by H NMR titration. The near-infrared detection of cyanide by CH-controlled probes was founded for the first time.

A ratiometric fluorescent probe based on anthracene carboximide was developed for direct detection of isocyanates in air. The sensing mechanism was illustrated to be variation in the photophysical properties caused by the nucleophilic reaction of the probe molecule. A number of isocyanates were conveniently detected by a test paper.

A couple of corrole-perylene carboximide dyads (C2-PIa and C2-PIx) have been synthesized and their photoreactivity has been evaluated. We aimed at obtaining better performances for photoinduced charge separation, both in terms of efficiency and in terms of lifetime, with respect to formerly studied systems. The energy level of the charge-separated state was tuned by selecting perylene and corrole components with diverse redox and spectroscopic properties.

Combining light-harvesting and charge separation in a self-assembled artificial photosynthetic system based on perylenediimide chromophores.

Self-assembly of robust perylenediimide chromophores is used to produce an artificial light-harvesting antenna structure that in turn induces self-assembly of a functional special pair that undergoes ultrafast, quantitative charge separation. The structure consists of four 1,7-(3',5'-di-tert-butylphenoxy)perylene-3,4:9,10-perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(carboximide) (PDI) molecules attached to a single 1,7-bis(pyrrolidin-1-yl)perylene-3,4:9,10-perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(carboximide) (5PDI) core, which self-assembles to form (5PDI-PDI4)2 in toluene. The system is characterized using both structural methods (NMR, SAXS, mass spectroscopy, and GPC) and photophysical methods (UV-vis, time-resolved fluorescence, and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy).
