General description

The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon perylene is a hydrophobic fluorescent probe. It is highly photostable and displays blue fluorescence. Perylene is used as a dye for spectroscopic studies.

Application

Perylene has been used as a standard along with a mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to determine the spatial distribution and sources of PAHs in surface sediments of rivers.

Photochemical upconversion via triplet-triplet annihilation is a promising technology for improving the efficiency of photovoltaic devices. Previous studies have shown that the efficiency of upconversion depends largely on two rate constants intrinsic to the emitting species. Here, we report that
