Abstract

We report the synthesis of perylenediimide (PDI)-based ­donor–acceptor hybrids through dissymmetric bay functionalization of PDIs. The dissymmetric bay-functionalized di- and trisubstituted PDIs were characterized by using one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Density functional theory calculations revealed (i) an energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO in the range 2.14–2.34 eV, beneficial for charge-transfer properties; and (ii) a twist angle between the two naphthalene units in the range 17–26°, which might be beneficial for disruption of co-facial stacking of the PDI.

Key words

perylenediimide - dissymmetric functionalization - bay functionalization - nitration - density functional theory
