Optical Properties of Cationic Perylenediimide Nanowires in Aqueous Medium: Experimental and Computational Studies.

ABSTRACT: Cationic perylenediimide derivative, namely N,N'-di(2-(trimethylammoniumiodide)ethylene) perylenediimide (TAIPDI), has been synthesized and characterized in an aqueous medium by using dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) techniques. The optical absorption and fluorescence spectra of TAIPDI revealed the formation of aggregated TAIPDI nanowires in water, but not in organic solvents. In order to control the aggregation behavior, the optical properties of TAIPDI have been examined in different aqueous media, namely cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Furthermore, the utilization of the examined TAIPDI for co
