2,9-Di(pent-3-yl)anthra2,1,9-def:6,5,10-d'e'f'diisoquinoline-1,3,8,10-tetrone

EP-PDI (acceptor) blended with P3HT (donor) and PCBM (donor) can be used in the fabrication of organic photovoltaic devices and organic solar cells. It forms a mixture with tetrahydrofuran (THF) that shows high intensity fluorescence which can be used as a sensor for the detection of nitroaromatic compounds.

N,N′-Bis(3-pentyl)perylene-3,4,9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (EP-PDI) is a perylenediimide derivative that has a planar backbone and π-conjugation. It is a thermally stable polymer with luminescence and photochemical properties. It acts as a pigment and has charge mobility of 1 cm²V^-1s^-1 which can be used in a variety of energy and chemical sensing based applications.
