Abstract

A series of 2,5,8,11-tetraalkenyl perylene bisimide (PBI) derivatives were synthesized through Ru(II)- or Rh(III)-catalyzed regio- and steroselective oxidative C-H olefination in one step. The optical electronic and self-assembly of the 2,5,8,11-substituted PBIs were investigated, which showed great potential in optoelectronic applications.
