Abstract

Abstract: Perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) is well-known as one the main source of vat dyes and pigments. PTCDI has a wide range of colors including red, vinaceous, violet, brown, and black. It is highly resistant to heat, light, and changes of environmental conditions. Different PTCDI derivatives can be divided into two general categories. The first group is derivatives obtained from the bonding of different groups to the nitrogen atoms in the imide group and the second category is the derivatives with the bonding of different groups to the bay side. Altering substituents can significantly change the properties of the dye. Not only PTCDI is often used as important pigment in industries, but also has interesting features such as high photochemical stability, fluorescence quantum efficiency, and strong electron acceptance character. In recent years, PTCDI derivatives have been applied in the fields of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC), transistors, push-pulls, biological and organic photovoltaics. It is expected that application of PTCDI and its derivative in biosystems will be much interesting because of their photochemical properties. Highlights: PTCDI is well-known as one the main source of vat dyes and pigments. PTCDI has a wide range of colors including red, vinaceous, violet, brown, and black. TCDI derivatives have been widely applied in biosystems.
