dc.description.abstractNovel, symmetric and unsymmetric perylene diimide dyes with pyrene or indole units in the bay positions of the perylene ring were synthesized and characterized using FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR, MS, UV-Vis spectra and cyclic voltammetry. The λmax in different solvents were in the range 526-585 nm and emission wavelengths of the dyes exhibited positive solvatochromism with increasing solvent polarity. Long wavelength emissions >750 nm of dyes with pyrene units displayed charge-separated state of perylene-pyrene system. Dyes with pyrene or indole units showed greater photostability in toluene than dyes which did not contain these bulky substituents. Incorporating electron-donating indole substituents lowered the band gap energies and, therefore, the HOMO energy levels were increased. The energy density and shape of the molecular orbitals were calculated theoretically. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
