Synthesis and characterisation of rylene diimide dimers using molecular handcuffs (2019)
Journal Article
Yang, L., Langer, P., Davies, E. S., Baldoni, M., Wickham, K., Besley, N. A., …Champness, N. R. (2019). Synthesis and characterisation of rylene diimide dimers using molecular handcuffs. Chemical Science, 10(13), 3723-3732. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9sc00167k

A strategy for positioning, and loosely connecting, molecules in close proximity using mechanically interlocked handcuffs is described. The strategy is demonstrated using rylene diimides, creating dimeric structures in which two components are linked...

Core-substituted naphthalene diimides: influence of substituent conformation on strong visible absorption (2017)
Journal Article
Quinn, S., Davies, E. S., Pfeiffer, C. R., Lewis, W., McMaster, J., & Champness, N. R. (2017). Core-substituted naphthalene diimides: influence of substituent conformation on strong visible absorption. ChemPlusChem, 82(3), 489-492. https://doi.org/10.1002/cplu.201700059

Substitution of the aromatic core of naphthalene diimide (NDI) chromophores by morpholine leads to molecules with strong absorbance in the visible spectrum. The shift of absorption maxima to lower energy is determined not only by the degree of substi...
