Stable radical anions generated from a porous perylenediimide metal-organic framework for boosting near-infrared photothermal conversion
2019
Radical anions of electron-deficient systems are widely used, but are easily reoxidized upon exposure to air. Therefore, the stabilization of radical anions under ambient conditions is of great significance, but still remains a scientific challenge. Herein, perylenediimide is employed to prepare a crystalline metal-organic framework for stabilizing radical anions without extensive chemical modification. The porous, three-dimensional framework of perylenediimide can trap electron donors such as amine vapors and produce radical anions in-situ through photo-induced electron transfer. The radical anions are protected against quenching by shielding effect in air and remain unobstructed in air fo…
Fluorescent Core/Shell Nanoparticles for Specific Cell‐Nucleus Staining
2008
The highly fluorescent perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxdiimide (PDI) chromophore is a popular dye and pigment because of its excellent chemical, thermal, and photochemical stability. Due to these outstanding properties, there have been several successful applications of PDI chromophores in various fields. Water-soluble and fluorescent PDI dyes have been used in biological applications such as the in vitro staining of cells and proteins. The combination of water solubility and high fluorescence quantum yield still represents a challenging goal since PDI dyes have a strong tendency to form aggregates in aqueous solution even at very low concentrations. Water solubility and high fluorescence quan…
Kinetically Trapped Supramolecular Assembly of Perylene Dianhydride Derivative in Methanol: Optical Spectra, Morphology, and Mechanisms.
2016
Supramolecular self-assembly has attracted increasing attention as a breakthrough methodology in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Herein, a perylene dianhydride derivative (TP-PDA) self-assembles into well-defined nanospheres through a nucleation-growth process. The mechanisms of this process were explored by using spectral analysis, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In situ DLS and in situ SEM both revealed that the size of the aggregated nanospheres increases with time until the formation of equilibrium H-aggregates. This shows that TP-PDA undergoes a kinetically trapped assembly with a rapid transformation into the thermodynamically favo…
