We designed and synthesized perylene monoimides and diimides with substituents that allow control of their optical properties and intermolecular interactions. The perylene monoimides and diimides prepared exhibit dichroic properties (direction-dependent absorption of light), fluorescence emission, liquid-crystalline properties, and anisotropic (direction-dependent) solid-state properties. The dependence of electronic transition properties and liquid-crystalline properties on molecular structure was examined by deuterium NMR studies, UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluoresence spectroscopy.
