“…A concentration dependent broad band at WATER SOLUBLE PERYLENE DYE 609 ORDER REPRINTS 600 nm, probably due to aggregation in solution was observed on the UV spectrum of N,N 0 bis(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-3,4,9,10 Perylenebis (dicarboximide) (1). The emission spectrum of N,N 0 bis(3,3,5,5-tetramethyl piperidine)-3,4,9,10-Perylenebis (dicarboximide) (2) shows similar bands at 537.6, 577.9, and 622 nm. Small variation on extinction coefficients may be attributed to inductive effect of the p-hydroxy group in 1 and changes of the dihedral angle of the C-N bond which is expected to be larger in 2 due to steric hindrance.…”
