Abstract
Suitable functional group-engineered π-conjugated aromatic dimides based on perylene (PDI) and naphthyl scaffolds (NDI) demonstrated excellent sensitivity toward different gaseous analytes. However, to date, no methodical analysis has been performed to rationalize molecular-level interactions in the context of optical transduction, which is essential for systematic performance optimization of NDI/PDI-based molecular sensors. Therefore, in this present work, NDI/PDI scaffolds have been designed with amino acid functional groups (alanine, ALA and glutamic acid, GLU) at the terminal positions, and we subsequently compared the efficacy of four different imide derivatives as model hosts for hydrazine adsorption. Specifically, the adsorption of hydrazine at different interaction sites has been thoroughly investigated using ab initio calculations, where the adsorption energy, charge transfer, and recovery time have been emphasized. Theoretical results exhibit that irrespective of host specification the COOH groups offer a primary interaction site for hydrazine through the hydrogen bonding interaction. The presence of more COOH groups and relatively stronger interaction with secondary edge oxygen ensure that GLU functional moieties are a superior choice over ALU for efficient hydrazine binding. The molecular energy spectrum analysis exhibits more favorable HOMO/LUMO gap variations after hydrazine interaction in the case of PDI derivatives irrespective to the nature of the amino acid residues. Therefore, by a combination of both factors, PDI-GLU has been identified as the most suitable host molecule for hydrazine among four derivatives. Finally, the key theoretical predictions has been later experimentally validated by analyzing UV-visible spectroscopy and NMR studies, wherein the mechanism of interaction has also been experimentally verified by EPR analysis and FT-IR studies.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28073003.

Abstract
The research on perylene diimide (PDI) aggregates effectively promotes their applications in organic photovoltaic solar cells and fluorescent sensors. In this paper, a PDI fabricated with three peripheral PDI units (N, N’-bis(6-undecyl) perylene-3,4,9,10-bis(dicarboximide)) is investigated. The trimer shows different absorption and fluorescence properties due to hydrophobicity when dissolved in the mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water. Through comprehensive analysis of the fluorescence lifetime and transient absorption spectroscopic results, we concluded that the trimer underwent different excited state kinetic pathways with different concentrations of water in THF. When dissolved in pure THF solvent, both the intramolecular charge-transfer and excimer states are formed. When the water concentration increases from 0 to 50% (v/v), the formation time of the excimer state and its structural relaxation time are prolonged, illustrating the arising of the intermolecular excimer state. It is interesting to determine that the probability of the intramolecular charge-transfer pathway will first decrease and then increase as the speed of intermolecular excimer formation slows down. The two inflection points appear when the water concentration is above 10% and 40%. The results not only highlight the importance of hydrophobicity on the aggregate properties of PDI multimers but also guide the further design of PDI-based organic photovoltaic solar cells.

Abstract
The interaction between homochiral substituted perylene bisimide (PBI) molecule and the D enantiomer of phenylalanine amino acid was monitored. Spectroscopic transitions of PBI derivative in aqueous solution in the visible range were used to evaluate the presence of D-phenylalanine. UV-visible, fluorescence, FT-IR, and AFM characterizations showed that D-phenylalanine induces significant variations in the chiral perylene derivative aggregation state and the mechanism is enantioselective as a consequence of the 3D analyte structure. The interaction mechanism was further investigated in presence of interfering amino acid (D-serine and D-histidine) confirming that both chemical structure and its 3D structure play a crucial role for the amino acid discrimination. A D-phenylalanine fluorescence sensor based on perylene was proposed. A limit of detection (LOD) of 64.2 ± 0.38 nM was calculated in the range 10-7-10-5 M and of 1.53 ± 0.89 μM was obtained in the range 10-5 and 10-3 M.

Abstract
The design of chiral chromophores that lead to self-assembly of higher order helical structures is a powerful tool to understand the hierarchical helical structures of molecules of nature. In this work, we present a self-assembled helical super-structure produced via facial stacking of a bile acid bolaamphiphile derivative with a naphthalene diimide core (NDI-DCA), driven by solvophobic effects in THF–H2O solvent mixtures. The chirality of the helical microstructure is directed by the multiple chiral centres in the precursor molecule. The chirality of the hierarchical assemblies was observed using circular dichroism (CD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements. We propose that the NDI-DCA super-structures are formed via similar interactions and mechanisms to those observed in biological molecules such as proteins and DNA.

Abstract
In this work, we have calculated several physical quantities related to two interacting semiconductor organic molecules to reveal the significance and the role of the side-chains. The molecular systems of our target are the geometry-optimized dimer systems: that consisting of two [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester molecules and that consisting of two peryline diimide-related molecules. The physical quantities shown in the present work are their relative molecular geometries, optimized energies, barycentric distances, angles between the two molecular planes, dipole moments, and electronic couplings. We have found that these physical quantities show quite different tendencies among the systems, which results from the absence/presence of the side-chains in these molecular species. It is emphasized that the presence of side-chains brings about the diversity of molecular characteristics in interacting molecules. This may point out the importance of side-chains in the various organic materials in general.

Abstract
Interest in bay-substituted perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic diimides (PDIs) for solution-based applications is growing due to their improved solubility and altered optical and electronic properties compared to unsubstituted PDIs. Synthetic routes to 1,12-bay-substituted PDIs have been very demanding due to issues with steric hindrance and poor regioselectivity. Here we report a simple one-step regioselective and high yielding synthesis of a 1,12-dihydroxylated PDI derivative that can subsequently be alkylated in a straightforward fashion to produce nonplanar 1,12-dialkoxy PDIs. These PDIs show a large Stokes shift, which is specifically useful for bioimaging applications. A particular cationic PDI gemini-type surfactant has been developed that forms nonfluorescent self-assembled particles in water ("off state"), which exerts a high fluorescence upon incorporation into lipophilic bilayers ("on state"). Therefore, this probe is appealing as a highly sensitive fluorescent labelling marker with a low background signal for imaging artificial and cellular membranes.

Abstract
Here we report the quantum yield of four aggregated perylene diimide (PDI) species that vary by the length of the branched side chains attached at the N,N' imide positions. The PDI molecules were dissolved in binary water:methanol solvents as a means to vary the solvent polarity and control the degree of aggregation in solution. By performing spectroscopy, kinetics, and light scattering experiments, the nature of the molecular interactions in the solutions was determined. The maximum quantum yield of the aggregated molecules increased from 0.04 for the shortest chain molecule (B2) to 0.20 for the largest chain molecule (B13). The higher quantum yield of B13 compared with B2 correlates well with an increase in the fluorescence lifetime. The monomer emission lifetime was 4.8 ns whereas a lifetime as high as 21.2 ns was measured for the B13 aggregate fluorescence. A shorter sub-nanosecond lifetime was also measured for suspended colloids in B5, B9, and B13. The enhanced quantum yield is attributed to an increase of disorder in the B13 aggregates. As the polarity of the solution increases, the hydrophobic effect further enhances the disorder, and, therefore, the quantum yields in these particles.

Abstract
Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimides (PDIs) have recently gained considerable interest for water-based biosensing applications. PDIs have been studied intensively in the bulk state, but their physical properties in aqueous solution in interplay with side-chain polarity are, however, poorly understood. Therefore, three perylene diimide based derivatives were synthesized to study the relationship between side-chain polarity and their self-assembly characteristics in water. The polarity of the side chains was found to dictate the size and morphology of the formed aggregates. Side-chain polarity rendered the self-assembly and photophysical properties of the PDIs-both important for imminent water-based applications-and these were revealed to be especially responsive to changes in solvent composition.
