Abstract π‐conjugated polymers find a range of applications in electronic devices. These
materials are generally highly disordered in terms of chain length and chain conformation …

Single-molecule optical detection and spectroscopy has emerged in recent years as an
excellent tool for structural and dynamic characterization of materials and biological systems …

Perylene diimides are among the most important chromophores in dyestuff chemistry. They
do not only have excellent thermal, chemical and photochemical stability, high absorption …

Perylene dyes not only feature high chemical and photochemical stability, high molar
absorptivities and fluorescence quantum yields but also offer wide possibilities for chemical …

Single oligo (phenylene-vinylene) molecules constitute model systems of chromophores in
disordered conjugated polymers and can elucidate how the actual conformation of an …

Electronic excitation energy transfer (EET) rates in rylene diimide dyads are calculated using
second-order approximate coupled-cluster theory and time-dependent density functional …

In this perspective the numerous applications of polyphenylene dendrimers as nano
materials with site defined functionalities are presented. All selected examples emphasize …

We investigate photoblinking and photobleaching of perylene diimide (PDI) and its higher
homologue terrylene diimide (TDI). Single molecule fluorescence trajectories of the dye …

A novel technique, two-dimensional (2D) polarization single-molecule imaging, is
presented. It is based on measurements and analysis of fluorescence intensity as a function …

The use of the Förster model to predict the dynamics of resonant electronic energy transfer
(RET) in a model donor− acceptor dyad (a terphenyl-bridged perylene diimide (PDI) …
