perylene and penta-aromatic hydrocarbons were determined in sediments as part of a study that was dedicated to the aquatic ecosystem of oginigba creek (southern nigeria) in order to carry out a critical corroboration of occurrence and diagenetic evolution of perylene in the sediments of the creek. the results show that the annual mean levels of perylene ranged from 396.27– 507.19 mg/g dry wei...

DNA-like fluorescent oligomers composed of alkynyl beta-D-ribofuranosides bearing pyrene, perylene, and anthracene as a fluorophore were synthesized by solid-phase DNA synthesis. The fluorescent oligomers possess the defined number and order of the fluorophores. In these oligomers, the adjacent fluorophores efficiently interact with each other by hydrophobic interactions in their electronic gro...

We report here the synthesis and photophysical study of a series of electron donor-acceptor molecules, in which electron-donating 4-methoxyphenoxy groups are attached to the 1,7-bay positions of four different perylene tetracarboxylic acid derivatives, namely, perylene tetraesters 1, perylene monoimide diesters 2, perylene bisimides 3, and perylene monobenzimidazole monoimides 4. These perylene...

The effect of the ortho alkylation of perylene bisimides on the alignment and self-assembly properties has been studied. It was found that the dichroic properties of perylene bisimides in a liquid crystal host can be reversed with a single synthetic step by ortho alkylation. Furthermore, a solvent-induced growth of ultralong organic n-type semiconducting fibrils from non-ortho-alkylated perylen...

Employing steady-state spectroscopy, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, and fluorescence (cross-) correlation spectroscopy we investigated di-(perylene bisimide acrylate) and compared the results with those from monomeric perylene bisimide acrylate. For the dimeric structure two emitting species were found. By comparison with the spectroscopic results from monomeric perylene bisimide one ...

The study investigated the influence of maturity, biomass type, and depositional settings on distribution relative abundance polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for lacustrine sediments collected from depths up to 1000 m Prebreza ?u?ale stratigraphic units (the northwest part Toplica Basin). A recently proposed benzo[ghi]perylene/(perylene + benzo[ghi]perylene) parameter, along with commonl...

Perylene is an abundant and common polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in sedimentary settings, yet its origin remains puzzling. We have investigated the relation of perylene to the amount and type of organic matter in the sediments of Saanich Inlet, a coastal marine anoxic basin. Organic matter is predominantly marine in origin, but the proportions of marine and land-derived components have varied...

In this study, we report the light-emitting assistance effect of perylene on a polymer electrochemiluminescence (ECL) device using poly(3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3OT). An ECL device is a liquid type self-luminous device with a simple structure, and can be fabricated by a relatively easy procedure. Significant improvement in luminescence properties was confirmed when 1.0 wt % perylene was add...

The release of perylene from octadecylsilyl (ODS)-silica gel into water using a nonionic surfactant was kinetically studied by single microparticle injection and absorption microspectroscopy techniques. The release of perylene from the porous microparticles significantly depended on the surfactant concentration. The release rate constant was inversely proportional to the microparticle radius;...
