Self-organized perylene diimide nanofibers
Article Abstract:
A propeller-shaped perylene diimide trimer was synthesized and for the self-organization of trimer molecules into fluorescent nanofibers, a simple evaporation method was used. The delocalization along these nanofibers and the ability to study the electronic structure using fluorescence make them potentially useful in nanoscale devices, such as field effect transistors and photoconductors.

Molecular dynamics simulation of a perylene-derivative Langmuir film
Article Abstract:
A series of molecular dynamics simulations of an N,N'-di-n-butyl-3,4:9,10-perylene tetracarboxydiimide (BuPTCD) Langmuir film was performed. It was found that perylene molecules seem to be oriented mainly head-on toward the water surface.
