Abstract

Abstract A systematic approach towards highly fluorescent, water-soluble perylene-3, 4: 9, 10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide chromophores is presented. Water solubility was introduced first through the attachment of four hydrophilic substituents onto the bay region of the perylene dye. Positively and negatively charged groups were then applied to the chromophore, and their number and their distance from the aromatic scaffold were ...
