General description

Aromatic discotic liquid crystals which exhibits photogeneration of electron-hole pair are used widely in light emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells and field effect transistors. Pyrene is an aromatic discotic crystal which is widely used as a fluorescent dye or as an ambipolar charge carrier in Organic Light Emitting Diodes.

Application

Pyrene and its derivatives are electron-donor materials and can be used to prepare electron donor-acceptor systems for energy conversion and light harvesting applications like OLED and solar cells. It can also be used as a probe to determine the critical micellar concentration of surfactants and to study the protein conformation and conformational changes by fluorescence spectroscopy.

Features and Benefits

Long intrinsic fluorescence lifetime, lipophilic hydrocarbon, facilitates charge transport due to the strong p-p interactions in the solid state.π-system does not require protection during functionalization

Severe multidrug resistance (MDR) often develops in the process of chemotherapy for most small molecule anticancer drugs, which results in clinical chemotherapy failures. Methods: Here, a nanodrug is constructed through the self-assembly of amphiphilic drug-inhibitor conjugates (ADIC) containing a redox-responsive

A new pyrene-cored π-conjugated molecule has been synthesized through Sonogashira coupling reaction. The single-crystalline microribbon-based FET exhibited the highest mobility of 0.7 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) (I(on)/I(off) > 10(6)). Single-crystalline microribbons were employed to operate in an organic phototransistor (OPT) under
