Supramolecular Construction of Fluorescent J‐Aggregates Based on Hydrogen‐Bonded Perylene Dyes

Abstract

Luminous nanorods: The self-assembly of core-twisted perylene bisimide fluorophores (see structures) in nonpolar organic solvents is directed by hydrogen-bonding interactions. This supermolecular concept resulted in one-dimensional J-aggregates with a fluorescence quantum yield of near unity.
