The emblematic perylenediimide (PDI) motif which was initially used as a simple dye has
undergone incredible development in recent decades. The increasing power of synthetic …

Herein we investigate three quinoid zwitterionic dye sensitizers having donor–donor (4-
dimethylaniline; ZIDM), donor–acceptor (4-dimethylaniline and 4-benzoic acid; ZIMCA), and …

A set of ferrocenyl-functionalized perylenediimide (PDI) compounds and their 1, 1, 4, 4-
tetracyanobuta-1, 3-diene (TCBD) derivatives 1–5 were designed and synthesized using …

Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of materials composed of coordinative
interactions between metal ions and organic linkers, encompassing two‐dimensional (2D) …

Symmetry-breaking charge separation (SB-CS) has recently evolved as an emerging
concept offering its potential to the latest generation of organic photovoltaics. However there …

The rich chemistry of solution-processable red and near-infrared (NIR) organic emitters has
emerged as an attractive and progressive research field because of their particular …

Sulfur annulated PDI (SAN-PDI) has been oxidized to three sequential levels (from
sulfide/disulfide to sulfoxide/sulfone) using meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA) to …

Dissipative self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature and underlies many complex structures
and functions in natural systems. These processes are primarily enabled by the …

Recently, facilely designable metal–organic frameworks have gained attention in the
construction of photothermal conversion materials. Nonetheless, most of the previously …

Symmetry-breaking charge separation (SB-CS) results in the generation of electron–hole
pairs via photoexcitation. SB-CS in chromophoric self-assemblies can potentially be an …
