| Due to its strong fluorescence, high thermo-stablity and structural rigidity, perylene-3,4;9,10-tetracarboxydiimide (PDI) was utilized to synthesize a variety of structures for molecular electronics applications, including, large rigid tetrahedral molecules that can stand up on surfaces for AFM and single molecule spectroscopy studies; PDI with long chain carboxylic acids that self-assembles on surfaces for electric field switching studies of fluorescence; PDI-carbazole structures with switchable fluorescence by chemical modification (acylation, trifluoroacylation and tosylation)and dielectric sensitivity to solvent. |
