Abstract
Despite excellent optical and electrical properties, the brittleness of indium tin oxide (ITO), used as a transparent electrode, prevents the realization of stable flexible devices. If silver nanowire (AgNW) networks represent a promising alternative, their lack of thermal and electrochemical stability still prevents their fast development in numerous applications. Herein, we report a novel strategy consisting of the deposition of an electrochromic and protective layer of oriented hybrid materials, also known as surface-anchored metal-organic frameworks (SurMOFs). Furthermore, the dual role played by the SurMOF is achieved using a room-temperature and low-cost method for the efficient use of bare AgNWs. A step forward was achieved by demonstrating electrochemical and mechanical stability for flexible electrochromic SurMOF@AgNW/PET thin films, switching reversibly from orange (+0.2 V) to blue (-0.8 V) in 8.4 s and 10.4 s, respectively, with a color efficiency of 158 cm2/C after being bent 300 times.

Abstract
An amino acid-conjugated naphthalene diimide (NDI)-based highly red fluorescent radical anion has been found in a water medium under the photoradiated condition. This molecule has failed to form the radical anion in the monomeric state; however, the J aggregation in the aqueous medium has ensured the formation of radical anion in the ambient condition after the irradiation of both sunlight and UV light exposure. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies clearly suggest the formation of radical anions. Herein, the stability of the radical anion in the aqueous medium is only a few minutes as a small amount of shaking is enough to quench the radical anion in the solution state. Furthermore, the incorporation of this molecule into a peptide-based hydrogel matrix and the consequent photoirradiation have not only helped to develop radical anion in the gel matrix but also increased the enormous stability of the radical anion inside the hydrogel matrix even for 30 days. It is envisaged that the formation of the radical anion within the gel matrix prevents the free movement of the NDI molecules and restricts the diffusion of molecular oxygen in the system, which leads to the stability of the radical anions in the gel. Moreover, the stability of the radical anion within the gel has helped to enhance the conductivity of the hybrid gel to a great extent. Interestingly, the radical anion-containing hybrid hydrogel has shown a potential photoswitching property.

Abstract
ConspectusLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have achieved great success and dominated the market of portable electronics and electric vehicles owing to their high energy density and long-term cyclability. However, if applying LIBs for large-scale energy storage scenarios, such as regulating the output of electricity generated by sustainable energy in the future age of carbon neutrality, the current electrochemistry of LIBs based on Li-ion interaction/deinteraction between a transition-metal oxide cathode and graphite anode will suffer from problems of scarce natural resources (e.g., Li, Co, and Ni) and high energy consumption/CO2 emission involved in the production of electrodes. Similarly, other commercial batteries such as lead-acid batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries are also plagued by these issues.In contrast, organic electrode materials, especially carbonyl materials, exhibit advantages of abundant resources, renewability, high capacity, environmental friendliness, and structural designability and have shown great promise for various rechargeable batteries in recent years. However, organic carbonyl electrode materials generally exhibit unsatisfactory cycling stability and rate performance, which are highly dependent on the electrolyte and interfacial chemistry. Appropriate electrolytes and a stable electrode/electrolyte interface would be beneficial for preventing the dissolution of organic carbonyl electrode materials and/or their redox intermediates in electrolytes and promoting fast ion transport between the electrode and electrolyte. In this regard, designing an appropriate electrolyte and constructing a stable electrode/electrolyte interface are the keys to enhancing the comprehensive performance of organic carbonyl electrode materials.In this Account, on the basis of our progress and related works from other groups in the past decade, we afford an overview of understanding the effects of electrolyte and interfacial chemistry on the electrochemical performance of organic carbonyl electrode materials. We will start by briefly introducing the basic properties, working mechanisms, and issues of organic carbonyl electrode materials. Then, the implications of electrolyte and electrode/electrolyte interfacial chemistry on electrochemical performance will be summarized and highlighted through discussing the performance of organic carbonyl electrodes in different types of electrolytes (organic liquid and aqueous and solid-state electrolytes). Meanwhile, the design principles of electrolytes and interfacial chemistry for organic carbonyl electrodes are also discussed. A representative example is that organic carbonyl electrode materials often exhibit better electrochemical performance in ether-based electrolytes than in ester-based electrolytes, which could be mainly attributed to the stable and robust solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed on carbonyl electrodes in the ether-based electrolyte. This example demonstrates the importance of investigating the electrode/electrolyte interfacial chemistry of organic carbonyl electrode materials. Finally, future perspectives on designing appropriate electrolytes and understanding electrode/electrolyte interfacial chemistry will also be discussed. It is meaningful to thoroughly reveal the dynamic evolution of the electrode/electrolyte interface during discharge/charge processes and evaluate the compatibility between electrolytes and organic carbonyl electrode materials under practical conditions using limited quantities of electrolytes and high areal-specific-capacity electrodes in the future. This Account could attract more attention to electrolytes and the electrode/electrolyte interfacial chemistry of organic carbonyl electrode materials and finally promote their future commercial applications.

Abstract
Excellent stability is an essential premise for organic diradicals to be used in organic electronic and spintronic devices. We have attached two tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl (TTM) radical building blocks to the two sides of perylene bisimide (PBI) bridges and obtained two regioisomeric diradicals (1,6-TTM-PBI and 1,7-TTM-PBI). Both of the isomers show super stability rather than the monomeric TTM under ambient conditions, due to the increased conjugation and the electron-withdrawing effects of the PBI bridges. The diradicals show distinct and reversible multistep redox processes, and a spectro-electrochemistry investigation revealed the generation of organic mixed-valence (MV) species during reduction processes. The two diradicals have singlet ground states, very small singlet-triplet energy gaps (ΔES-T ) and a pure open-shell character (with diradical character y0 =0.966 for 1,6-TTM-PBI and 0.967 for 1,7-TTM-PBI). This work opens a window to developing very stable diradicals and offers the opportunity of their further application in optical, electronic and magnetic devices.

Abstract
The employment of light and/or electricity - alternatively to conventional thermal energy - unlocks new reactivity paradigms as tools for chemical substrate activations. This leads to the development of new synthetic reactions and a vast expansion of chemical spaces. This review summarizes recent developments in photo- and/or electrochemical activation strategies for the functionalization of strong bonds - particularly carbon-heteroatom (C-X) bonds - via: (1) direct photoexcitation by high energy UV light; (2) activation via photoredox catalysis under irradiation with relatively lower energy UVA or blue light; (3) electrochemical reduction; (4) combination of photocatalysis and electrochemistry. Based on the types of the targeted C-X bonds, various transformations ranging from hydrodefunctionalization to cross-coupling are covered with detailed discussions of their reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
The issue of information security has become a concern in all aspects of daily life, prompting the development of encryption technologies. Therein, optical encryption using color/graphical patterns holds great potential. However, current approaches generally rely on monochromic change upon one or more stimuli, limiting their further application in advanced confidential encryption. Herein, we propose a delicate strategy based on a co-assembly system of perylene bisimides (PBI)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) that demonstrates stepwise stimuli response and multicolor changes. The color of the supramolecular system changes from red to purple under the stimulus of UV light, and to orange when exposed to water. The multidimensional chromic response is achieved by an evolution process including the generation, packing rearrangement and quenching of PBI radical anions/dianions. With the virtues of photo- and hydrochromism, this novel co-assembly system was successfully employed for advanced anticounterfeiting and versatile information encryption applications.

Abstract
The development of highly electron-accepting π-systems is a fundamentally challenging issue despite their potential applications as high-performance n-type organic semiconductors, organic rechargeable batteries, and stable redox-active organocatalysts. Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation of both imide substituents and imine-type nitrogen atoms into zethrene affords the strongly electron-accepting π-system diazazethrene bisimide (DAZBI). DAZBI has a low-lying LUMO (-4.3 eV vs. vacuum) and is readily reduced by the weak reductant l-ascorbic acid to afford the corresponding dihydro species. The injection of two electrons into DAZBI provides the corresponding dianion. These reduced species display remarkable stability, even under ambient conditions, and an intense red fluorescence. A DAZBI dimer, which was also synthesized, effectively accommodated four electrons upon electron injection.

Abstract
Photoreduction of perylenediimide (PDI) derivatives has been widely studied for use in photocatalysis, hydrogen evolution, photo-responsive gels, and organic semiconductors. Upon light irradiation, the radical anion (PDI⋅- ) can readily be obtained, whereas further reduction to the dianion (PDI2- ) is rare. Here we show that full 2-electron photoreduction can be achieved using UVC light: 1) in anaerobic conditions by 'direct photoreduction' of PDI aggregates, or 2) by 'indirect photoreduction' in aerobic conditions due to acetone ketyl radicals. The latter strategy is also efficient for other dyes, such as naphthalenediimide (NDI) and methylviologen (MV2+ ). Efficient photoreduction on the minute time-scale using simple LED light in aerobic conditions is attractive for use in dissipative light-driven systems and materials.

Abstract
Perylene derivatives can be stimulated by the hypoxic tumor microenvironment to generate radical anion that is proposed to arouse electron exchange with oxidizing substance, and in turn, realize reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst. Here, three perylene therapeutic agents, PDI-NI, PDIB-NI, and PDIC-NI, are developed and it is found that the minimum lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level makes PDIC-NI most easily accept electrons from the oxidative respiratory chain to form lots of anions, and the resultant maximum ROS generation, establishing an unambiguous mechanism for the formation of perylene radical anions in the cell, presents solid evidence for LUMO energy level determining endogenous ROS burst. Stirringly, PDIC-NI-induced ROS generation arouses enhanced mitochondrial oxidative stress and concurrently activates immunogenic cell death (ICD), which not only efficiently kills lung tumor cells but also reprograms immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, including the cytokine secretion, dendritic cell maturation, as well as cytotoxic T lymphocytes activation, to inhibit the growth of xenografted and metastasis tumor, presenting a proof-of-concept demonstration of perylene that acts as an integrated therapeutic agent to well realize hypoxia-activated chemotherapy with ICD-induced immunotherapy on lung cancer.

Abstract
There is growing interest towards the design and synthesis of organic redox-active systems, which exist in ionic form. Multi- redox systems entail life-sustaining processes like photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The significant challenge for material scientists is to rationally design complex molecular materials that can store and transfer multiple electrons at low operational potentials and are stable under ambient conditions. Also, important are the designed ionic π-systems that combine efficient electron and ion transport. Here, we discuss the synthesis of ionic π-systems which exist in the closed-shell form. Firstly, different classes of ionic arylenediimides and viologens with different π-linkers are discussed from the synthetic, structural and redox perspective. These ionic π-systems are based on the electron deficient π-scaffolds, and are shown to accumulate upto six electrons. We then discuss electron-rich ionic arylenediimides which can exist in anionic form or zwitterionic form. The anionic electron donors have absorption extending to the near Infrared (NIR) region and can be stabilized in aqueous solution. We also discuss the effect of the electron accumulation on the aromaticity and non-aromaticity of the naphthalene and the imide rings of the naphthalenediimides. We finally discuss in brief, the applications related to the organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors.

Abstract
Stabilizing reactive radical ions promises outstanding performances in photocatalysis, organic optoelectronics and photothermal therapies, but it remains a challenge. In this contribution, we firstly report a persistent radical anion (PBI˙--4Cz) derived from a propeller-shaped electron-deficient perylene bisimide-based pentad (PBI-4Cz). Detailed investigations confirm that PBI˙--4Cz could intactly exist under inert conditions, and its lifetime is sufficiently prolonged up to more than one week under ambient atmosphere. Such exceptional stability is ascribed to the synergistic effect of the high electron-affinity and structural shielding originating from the compact spatial arrangement of PBI-4Cz. This work contributes to rational design and appropriate chemical construction of stable open-shell species.

Abstract
Organic carbonyl electrode materials have shown great prospects for rechargeable batteries in view of their high capacity, flexible designability, and sustainable production. However, organic carbonyl electrode materials still suffer from unsatisfactory electrochemical performance, which is highly relevant to their redox processes. Herein, an in-depth understanding on redox processes and the correlated electrochemical performance of organic carbonyl electrode materials is provided. The redox processes discussed mainly involve molecular structure evolution (intermediates), crystal structure evolution (phase transition), and charge storage mechanisms. The properties of intermediates can affect voltage, cycling stability, reversible capacity, and rate performance of batteries. Moreover, the reversible capacity/cycling stability and rate performance would be also influenced by phase transition and charge storage mechanisms (diffusion- or surface-controlled), respectively. To accelerate the practical applications of organic carbonyl electrode materials, future work should focus on developing more in situ or operando characterization techniques and further understanding the intrinsic relationships between redox processes and performance. It is hoped that the work discussed herein will stimulate more attention to the detailed redox processes and their correlations with the performance of organic carbonyl electrode materials in rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Highly efficient hydrogen evolution reactions carried out via photocatalysis using solar light remain a formidable challenge. Herein, perylenetetracarboxylic acid nanosheets with a monolayer thickness of ~1.5 nm were synthesized and shown to be active hydrogen evolution photocatalysts with production rates of 118.9 mmol g−1 h−1. The carboxyl groups increased the intensity of the internal electric fields of perylenetetracarboxylic acid from the perylene center to the carboxyl border by 10.3 times to promote charge-carrier separation. The photogenerated electrons and holes migrated to the edge and plane, respectively, to weaken charge-carrier recombination. Moreover, the perylenetetracarboxylic acid reduction potential increases from −0.47 V to −1.13 V due to the decreased molecular conjugation and enhances the reduction ability. In addition, the carboxyl groups created hydrophilic sites. This work provides a strategy to engineer the molecular structures of future efficient photocatalysts. While organic semiconductors provide a highly tailorable set of systems for solar-to-fuel conversion, such materials often show worse activities than inorganic materials. Here, authors prepare perylene-based nanosheets that demonstrate excellent performances for photocatalytic H2 evolution.

Abstract
The two-electron reduced forms of perylene diimides (PDIs) are luminescent closed-shell species whose photochemical properties seem underexplored. Our proof-of-concept study demonstrates that straightforward (single) excitation of PDI dianions with green photons provides an excited state that is similarly or more reducing than the much shorter-lived excited states of PDI radical monoanions, which are typically accessible after biphotonic excitation with blue photons. Thermodynamically demanding photocatalytic reductive dehalogenations and reductive C-O bond cleavage reactions of lignin model compounds have been performed using sodium dithionite acts as a reductant, either in aqueous solution or in biphasic water-acetonitrile mixtures in the presence of a phase transfer reagent. Our work illustrates the concept of multi-electron reduction of a photocatalyst by a sacrificial reagent prior to irradiation with low-energy photons as a means of generating very reactive excited states.

Abstract
Perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximides) (PBIs) rank among the most important functional dyes and organic semiconductors, but only recently have their radical anions and dianions attracted interest for a variety of applications. Here, we systematically elucidate the functional properties (redox, absorption, and emission) of five PBI anions and dianions bearing different bay-substituents attached to the chromophore core. Cyclic voltammetry measurements reveal the influence of the substituents ranging from electron-withdrawing cyano to electron-donating phenoxy groups on the oxidation and reduction potentials that relate to the HOMO and LUMO levels ranging from -7.07 eV to -6.05 eV and -5.01 eV to -4.05 eV, respectively. Spectroelectrochemical studies reveal a significant number of intense absorption bands in the NIR-spectral range (750-1400 nm) for the radical anions, whereas the dianionic species are characterized by similar spectra to those for the neutral dyes, however being bathochromically shifted and with increased molar extinction coefficients of approximately 100 000 M-1 cm-1. The increase of the transition dipole moment is up to 56% and accompanied by an almost cyanine-like red-shifted (by 300 nm) absorption spectrum for the most electron-poor tetracyanotetrachloro PBI. Whilst the outstanding fluorescence properties of the neutral PBIs are lost for the radical anions, an appreciable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence with a quantum yield of up to 18% is revealed for the dianions by utilizing a custom-built flow-cell spectroelectrochemistry setup. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations help to assign the absorption bands to the respective electronic transitions.

Abstract
The development of CO2 conversion catalysts has become paramount in the effort to close the carbon loop. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance for a series of N-annulated perylene diimide (NPDI) tethered Re(bpy) supramolecular dyads [Re(bpy-C2-NPDI-R)], where R = –H, –Br, –CN, –NO2, –OPh, –NH2, or pyrrolidine (–NR2). The optoelectronic properties of these Re(bpy-C2-NPDI-R) dyads were heavily influenced by the nature of the R-group, resulting in significant differences in photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance. Although some R-groups (i.e. –Br and –OPh) did not influence the performance of CO2 photocatalysis (relative to –H; TONco ∼60), the use of an electron-withdrawing –CN was found to completely deactivate the catalyst (TONco < 1) while the use of an electron-donating –NH2 improved CO2 photocatalysis four-fold (TONco = 234). Despite being the strongest EWG, the –NO2 derivative exhibited good photocatalytic CO2 reduction abilities (TONco = 137). Using a combination of CV and UV-vis-nIR SEC, it was elucidated that the –NO2 derivative undergoes an in situ transformation to –NH2 under reducing conditions, thereby generating a more active catalyst that would account for the unexpected activity. A photocatalytic CO2 mechanism was proposed for these Re(bpy-C2-NPDI-R) dyads (based on molecular orbital descriptions), where it is rationalized that the photoexcitation pathway, as well as the electronic driving-force for NPDI2− to Re(bpy) electron-transfer both significantly influence photocatalytic CO2 reduction. These results help provide rational design principles for the future development of related supramolecular dyads. Seven N-annulated perylene diimide tethered rhenium (2,2′-bipyridine) supramolecular dyads are evaluated as photocatalysts for the reduction for carbon dioxide, highlighting the importance of photoexcitation pathway and electronic driving-force.![]()

Abstract
We report the design, synthesis, and characterization of four N-annulated perylene diimide (NPDI) functionalized rhenium bipyridine [Re(bpy)] supramolecular dyads. The Re(bpy) scaffold was connected to the NPDI chromophore either directly [Re(py-C0-NPDI)] or via an ethyl [Re(bpy-C2-NPDI)], butyl [Re(bpy-C4-NPDI)], or hexyl [Re(bpy-C6-NPDI)] alkyl-chain spacer. Upon electrochemical reduction in the presence of CO2 and a proton source, Re(bpy-C2/4/6-NPDI) all exhibited significant current enhancement effects, while Re(py-C0-NPDI) did not. During controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) experiments at Eappl = -1.8 V vs Fc+/0, Re(bpy-C2/4/6-NPDI) all achieved comparable activity (TONco ∼ 25) and Faradaic efficiency (FEco ∼ 94%). Under identical CPE conditions, the standard catalyst Re(dmbpy) was inactive for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction; only at Eappl = -2.1 V vs Fc+/0 could Re(dmbpy) achieve the same catalytic performance, representing a 300 mV lowering in overpotential for Re(bpy-C2/4/6-NPDI). At higher overpotentials, Re(bpy-C4/6-NPDI) both outperformed Re(bpy-C2-NPDI), indicating the possibility of coinciding electrocatalytic CO2 reduction mechanisms that are dictated by tether-length and overpotential. Using UV-vis-nearIR spectroelectrochemistry (SEC), FTIR SEC, and chemical reduction experiments, it was shown that the NPDI-moiety served as an electron-reservoir for Re(bpy), thereby allowing catalytic activity at lower overpotentials. Density functional theory studies probing the optimized geometries and frontier molecular orbitals of various catalytic intermediates revealed that the geometric configuration of NPDI relative to the Re(bpy)-moiety plays a critical role in accessing electrons from the electron-reservoir. The improved performance of Re(bpy-C2/4/6-NPDI)dyads at lower overpotentials, relative to Re(dmbpy), highlights the utility of chromophore electron-reservoirs as a method for lowering the overpotential for CO2 conversion.

Abstract
The central dogma in constructing organic electron acceptors is to attach electron-withdrawing groups to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Yet, the full potentials of many organic acceptors were never realized due to synthetic obstacles. By combining the Wittig-Knoevenagel benzannulation, the Pd(0)-catalyzed cyanation, and nucleophilic addition/oxidation cyanation, six polynitrile Z-shaped perylene diimide were synthesized. These stable and soluble electron acceptors possess LUMO energy levels comparable with those of benchmark compounds. Electrochemical investigation reveals that each additional nitrile group reduces the LUMO energy by 0.2 eV.

Abstract
We report the development of a new spectroscopic scheme, coherent two-dimensional (2D) electronic spectroelectrochemistry. Conventional 2D electronic spectroscopy has become well established to investigate molecular energy transfer, charge transfer, or structural dynamics with femtosecond time resolution following electronic excitation, providing frequency resolution for both the excitation and the detection step. Here we combine this method with electrochemistry in a flow cell. Thus we have established access to the dynamics of various oxidized and reduced molecular species in solution. We investigate the photophysics of a tetraphenoxy-substituted perylene bisimide dye and its reduced species as a proof of principle and find substantially different dynamics for the neutral and the twofold reduced compound. The electrochemical flow cell is furthermore applied in conventional transient absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopies as an application in different setups.

Abstract
In the last few years, air-stable organic radicals and radical polymers have attracted tremendous attention due to their outstanding performance in flexible electronic devices, including transistors, batteries, light-emitting diodes, thermoelectric and photothermal conversion devices, and among many others. The main issue of radicals from laboratory studies to real-world applications is that the number of known air-stable radicals is very limited, and the radicals that have been used as materials are even less. Here, the known and newly developed air-stable organic radicals are summarized, generalizing the way of observing air-stable radicals. The special electric and photophysical properties of organic radicals and radical polymers are interpreted, which give radicals a wide scope for various of potential applications. Finally, the exciting applications of radicals that have been achieved in flexible electronic devices are summarized. The aim herein is to highlight the recent achievements in radicals in chemistry, materials science, and flexible electronics, and further bridge the gap between these three disciplines.

Abstract
A photocatalytic system containing a perylene bisimide (PBI) dye as a photosensitizer anchored to titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) nanoparticles through carboxyl groups was constructed. Under solar-light irradiation in the presence of sacrificial triethanolamine (TEOA) in neutral and basic conditions (pH 8.5), a reaction cascade is initiated in which the PBI molecule first absorbs green light, giving the formation of a stable radical anion (PBI.- ), which in a second step absorbs near-infrared light, forming a stable PBI dianion (PBI2- ). Finally, the dianion absorbs red light and injects an electron into the TiO2 nanoparticle that is coated with platinum co-catalyst for hydrogen evolution. The hydrogen evolution rates (HERs) are as high as 1216 and 1022 μmol h-1 g-1 with simulated sunlight irradiation in neutral and basic conditions, respectively.

Abstract
Chlorination and bromination of 2,9-perfluoropropyl-substituted tetraazaperopyrenes (TAPPs) under forcing conditions resulted in fully core-halogenated TAPP derivatives, devoid of hydrogen atoms at the polycyclic aromatic core. The octahalogenation stabilized the reduced mono- and dianionic compounds sufficiently to allow for their characterization. The additional ortho-chlorination led to an improvement of the electron mobility compared to the bay-substituted tetrachloro-TAPP when employed as an n-channel semiconductor in thin-film transistors.

Abstract
Organic radicals are important species with single electrons. Because of their open-shell structure, they are widely used in functional materials, such as spin probes, magnetic materials and optoelectronic materials. Owing to the high reactivity of single electrons, they often serve as a key intermediate in organic synthesis. Therefore, tuning the stability of radicals is crucial for their functions. Herein, we summarize covalent and non-covalent approaches to tune the stability of organic radicals through steric effects and tuning the delocalization of spin density. Covalent approaches can tune the stability of radicals effectively and non-covalent approaches benefit from dynamicity and reversibility. It is anticipated that the further development of covalent and non-covalent approaches, as well as the interplay between them, may push the fields forward by enriching new radical materials and radical mediated reactions.

Abstract
A new synthesis of tetraazaperopyrenes (TAPPs) starting from a halogenated perylene derivative 3,4,9,10- tetrabromo-1,6,7,12-tetrachloroperylene (1) gave access to bay-substituted TAPPs for the first time. Selective lithiation of the bromine-positions and subsequent addition of tosyl azide led to the formation of the tetraazidotetrachloroperylene (2), which was subsequently reduced by addition of sodium borohydride to the corresponding tetraaminotetrachloroperylene (3). Oxidation to its semiquinoidal form 4 and subsequent cyclization with acid chlorides gave rise to a series of bay-chlorinated TAPPs. Whereas the aromatic core of the previously studied ortho-substituted TAPPs was found to be planar, the steric pressure of the two chlorine substituents on each side leads to the twist of the peropyrene core of approximately 30 degrees, a structural feature also observed in other bay-substituted perylene derivatives. An experimental and computational analysis reveals that introducing chloride substituents at these positions leads to slightly increased electron affinities (EA) enabling the selective generation and characterization of the reduced mono-anionic radicals and closed shell di-anionic species. These anions were isolated and characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy and EPR or NMR, respectively. Processing of the bay-chlorinated TAPPs in n-channel organic TFTs revealed electron mobilities of 0.001 to 0.003 cm2 V-1 s-1 . These reduced electron mobilities compared to the ortho-halogenated TAPPs are thought to be rooted in the less densely packed solid-state structures.

Abstract
The di-reduced state of the naphthalene moiety and its congeners have long captivated chemists as it is elusive to stabilize these intrinsically reactive electron-rich π-systems and for their emergent multifaceted properties. Herein we report the synthesis and isolation of two-electron (2e-) reduced, highly electron-rich naphthalenediimides (NDIs). A doubly zwitterionic structure is observed for the first time in a naphthalene moiety and validated by single crystal X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic methods. The synthesis avoids hazardous reducing agents and offers an easy, high-yielding route to bench-stable di-reduced NDIs. Notably, we realized high negative first oxidation potentials of up to -0.730 V vs. Fc/Fc+ in these systems, which establish these systems to be one of the strongest ambient stable electron donors. The study also provides the first insights into the NMR spectra of the di-reduced systems revealing a large decrease in diatropicity of the naphthalene ring compared to its 2e- oxidized form. The NICS, NICS-XY global ring current, gauge-including magnetically induced current (GIMIC) and AICD ring current density calculations revealed switching of the antiaromatic and aromatic states at the naphthalene and the imide rings, respectively, in the di-reduced system compared to the 2e- oxidized form. Notably, the substituents at the phosphonium groups significantly tune the antiaromatic-aromatic states and donor ability, and bestow an array of colors to the di-reduced systems by virtue of intramolecular through-space communication with the NDI scaffold. Computational studies showed intramolecular noncovalent interactions to provide additional stability to these unprecedented doubly zwitterionic systems.

Abstract
A sodium salt of a polycyclic trioxotriangulene (TOT) anion with six triethylene glycol chains exhibiting the formation of a colored ionic liquid at room temperature was synthesized. The ionic liquid is air- and water-stable, reflecting thermodynamic stabilization of a charge-delocalized TOT anion. Upon protonation of the TOT anion, the salt shows halochromic behaviors in solution and even in the neat liquid state with HCl vapor. The ionic liquid shows no morphological change with the chromism, presumably as a result of poor intermolecular interactions between π skeletons.

Abstract
An efficient method for visible-light-triggered generation of radicals from mono- and dinitro-substituted perylenediimide derivatives is developed. UV-vis-NIR and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements were carried out to confirm the formation of radicals. Most importantly, these radical anions were remarkably stable for several months. Subsequently, the reversible nature of anions was validated by both chemical and spectroelectrochemical methods for applications in electrochromic materials.

Abstract
Host-guest interaction and chemical modification are found to be effective in tuning the formation of reductive species of perylene-bisimide (PBI) derivatives in DMF. Moreover, some of the PBI derivatives as synthesized produce radical anions in the solvent without the need of a base.

Abstract
The influence of chlorine atoms in the bay positions of the perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acids with the different alkyl chains length on their spectral properties in monomolecular films has been studied. The chlorinated (PCln) and for comparison non-chlorinated (Pn) perylene derivatives were deposited onto quartz plates using a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. The absorption spectra showed that the PCln and Pn dyes form in monolayers the I- and J-type aggregates, respectively. In turn, their steady-state and time-resolved emission spectra revealed presence of two emitter types, which we assigned to monomers and excimers. The luminescence lifetimes of the PCln monomers and excimers determined with a time-correlated single photon counting method (TCSPC) are significantly shorter than these obtained for the same emitter types in the Pn monolayers. In the case of the chlorinated dyes, the contribution of the monomer emission dominates over the excimer emission and is almost independent from the alkyl chain length. By contrast, the share of the Pn monomer emission increases strongly with a number of carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chains. The luminescence quantum yields (LQY) of the Pn and PCln monolayers measured in an integrating sphere are in the range of 0.06-0.11. The presented results reveal that the PCln dyes exhibit lower tendency for aggregation than the non-chlorinated derivatives. It can be explained by limited intermolecular interaction between neighbouring PCln molecules caused by deformation of the perylene core as a result of strongly electronegative chlorine atoms in the bay positions of these dyes. Moreover, the strong influence of the alkyl chain length on the Pn aggregation contrary to the case of the PCln derivatives was observed.
