A team of researchers integrated amino acid (aspartic acid) with a light-absorbing organic molecule, perylene diimide (PDI) and allowed the molecules to spontaneously organize themselves through supramolecular self-assembly.
About Perylene diimide:
It is a derivative of perylene.
It initially synthesized and explored as an organic dye, has since gained significant recognition for its outstanding optical and electronic properties.
Properties:
PDIs exhibit exceptional optical characteristics.
It has strong absorption and high fluorescence quantum yield, along with remarkable electronic properties, such as high electron affinity and superior charge carrier mobility.
It has a role as a fluorochrome. It is a dicarboximide and an organic heteropolycyclic compound.
The molecular architecture and electrical properties are closely related in semiconducting organic electronic materials
Applications:
PDI derivatives are considered as potential candidates for photovoltaic applications and organic electronics.
They behave as n-type organic semiconductor materials and have been used in fabrication of solar cells, photovoltaic devices, dye lasers.
