Modulating the photophysical properties of perylene-based light-harvesting materials via bay-induced distortion and core twisting: a combined computational and experimental study
Yousef H. Arafa, Morad M. El-Hendawy, Ahmed Abdelmoneim, Mohamed E. El-KhoulyTuning the photophysics of perylene diimide derivatives: bay-induced steric distortion and donor coupling activate ICT states (visualized by EDD maps), successfully driving absorption from classic vibronic profiles to deep red-shifted regimes.
