PERYLENE BISIMIDE-CONJUGATED OLIGOMER DYES
Abstract
Conjugated molecular-based functional nanomaterials such as organic dyes are particularly important since, in comparison to crystalline solids, they offer a vast chemical space to be explored. Moreover, nonlinear absorption (NLA) represents a specific technical application where this aspect has proven essential and enabling. Several strategies have emerged to tune the photo-physical properties of such molecules and improve their NLA behavior including varying the conjugation length, changing the character of the conjugated bridge, increasing the planarity of the chromophore, increasing the length of the ?-conjugated system, dendrimer and glass encapsulation, and/or incorporating different metals. To this end, we propose to synthesize and study a series of promising perylene bisimide-conjugated oligomer dyes.
