Tiivistelmä
Perylene derivatives have many uses in various photochemical applications. Their use in singlet oxygen production has been less studied. Some perylene diimides have shown significant singlet oxygen yields. Singlet oxygen has many different uses. Therefore these perylene diimides are a lucrative field of study.
A novel perylene diimide dye was synthesized using Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride as starting material. Synthesis consisted of 4 steps. After each step the product was purified and analyzed.
Analysis methods were nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and electrospray ioni-zation time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Final product was additionally characterized with ultraviolet-visible light absorption spectroscopy.
Combination of these studies enabled the verification of this novel molecule. Molecule presented moderate molar attenuation coefficient and it is viable to test the antimicrobial properties of this compound.
