“…In this context, perylene derivatives stand out due to their suitable optical and electrical properties besides the low cost of processing in comparison to the conventional semiconducting materials [2][3][4][5][6] . Also noteworthy is its high absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the visible and near infrared region 7,8 .…”

Supramolecular Architecture and Electrical Properties of a Perylene Derivative in Physical Vapor Deposited Films

The supramolecular structure of organic thin films is a key factor in their optical and electrical properties and, consequently, in the technological applications involving organic electronic. Here, thin films of a perylene derivative, the bis butylimido perylene (BuPTCD), were produced by vacuum thermal evaporation (PVD, physical vapor deposition). The main objective is to investigate the supramolecular structure of the BuPTCD in these PVD films, which implies to control their thickness at nanometer scale and to determine their molecular organization, morphology at micro and nanometer scales and crystallinity. The ultraviolet-visible absorption reveals a uniform growth of the PVD films. The optical and atomic force microscopy images show a homogeneous surface of the film at micro and nanometer scales, respectively. The X-ray diffraction indicates that both powder and PVD film are in the crystalline form. Complementary, a preferential head-on orientation of the molecules in the PVD films is determined via infrared absorption spectroscopy. Besides, the annealing process (200 o C) did not affect the molecular organization of the PVD films, revealing a thermal stability of the BuPTCD molecules within the PVD films. Through DC electrical measurements, an electrical conductivity of 7.45x10 -10 S/m was determined for BuPTCD PVD films onto Au interdigitated electrodes (IDE-structured devices), which can be enhanced, under illumination, by two orders of magnitude (photoconductivity effect). As proof-of-concept, the IDE-structured devices are tested as gas sensor for trifluoroacetic acid.

“…We have indeed observed classical fluorescence spectra, featuring a main line and the classical related vibrational structure on the red-wavelength side, more or less obscured depending on the width of the spectrum as displayed in Figure 1A. The vibrational progression of the 0-0′ and 0-1′ transitions of perylene orange has been determined in macroscopic measurements for perylene in solution in ethyl acetate, 11 in chloroform, 5 and in sol-gel monoliths, 9 and the spacing is on the order of 30-50 nm. Here, contrary to the spectra of fluorescence recorded by Higgins et al on single molecules of Nile Red in sol-gel films, 16 more than half of the spectra we have observed (about 60% of the total) depart from such a classical fluorescence structure, as illustrated by one type of characteristic spectra in Figure 1B.…”

This paper reports on the spectral dynamics of perylene orange in thin sol-gel films. The studies are performed at the single molecule level to retrieve local information on such samples. The fluorescence spectrum of a molecule depends on the properties of the molecule itself and especially on its conformation in the ground state and in the state reached after excitation. Studies have been performed at room temperature and at a lower temperature, around 173 K. A large number of the recorded spectra reflect dual fluorescence. It is the rule at room temperature. However, at low temperature, single molecules either are relatively free to change conformation or are caught in a rigid environment. In the latter case, they present the spectrum of a rigid dye and we have identified the signature of several conformers of perylene orange in the ground state.

“…Surprisingly, in spite of its good photophysical and photochemical properties, few reports have appeared on the lasing behaviour Per-Red doped solid-state materials [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. A number of reasons could justify this scarcity of studies, mainly the insolubility of this dye in common organic solvents, which probably led to Per-Red dye being one of the first dyes to be incorporated into sol-gel hybrid materials [19,20], in spite of some serious limitations exhibited by these materials (complex and lengthy synthesis process, fragility which results in difficult mechanization of the final material, and most important, frequent optical inhomogeneity caused by refractive index mismatch between organic and inorganic parts). These early experimental studies revealed that this dye lases in the 610-640 nm range with a photostability much higher than that of the rhodamine family dyes, which are well known to be fairly stable [21], albeit with a much lower lasing efficiency [13].…”

The laser action of Perylene-Red doped in linear, crosslinked, fluorinated and sililated polymeric materials is reported. The purity of dye was found to be a key factor to enhance its solid-state laser behaviour. The samples were transversely pumped at 532 nm, with 5.5 mJ/pulse and 10 Hz repetition rate. Perylene-Red doped copolymers of methyl methacrylate with a 10 vol% proportion of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-methacrylate exhibited a lasing efficiency of 26% with a high photostability since the dye laser output remained at the same level after 100,000 pump pulses in the same position of the sample. This lasing behaviour is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest achieved to date for organic, inorganic, and hybrid materials doped with Perylene-Red.
