Four newly synthesized pyromellitic diimide-based fluorescent dyes with different aryl groups were first reported. All pyromellitic diimide (PMDI) derivatives were firstly displayed prominent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. Additionally, the tunable fluorescence of PMDI derivatives were achieved by the varied substituent groups linked on the PMDI skeleton. With the enlarged sizes of isolation groups, aggregation-induced emission migration in the direction of red waves, as the result of the efficient inhibition of π-π stacking by the larger substituent groups. Furthermore, the mechanofluorochromic (MFC) performance of these PMDI derivatives could be tuned by different sized of the substituent groups. Interestingly, PMDI-ESCz, PMDI-PSCz and PMDI-DSCz exhibited reversible mechanofluorochromic performances, but no mechanochromism phenomenon was found for PMDI-In. These results exhibited that substituent groups had significant influence on their AIE and MFC properties.
A molecular structure and crystallization correlation study of pyromellitic diimide-based conjugated copolymers

Three pyromellitic diimide(PMDI)-based polymers—poly(pyromellitic diimide-co-bithiophene) [poly(PMDI-BTh)], poly(pyromellitic diimide-co-tetrathiophene) [poly(PMDI-TTh)], and poly(pyromellitic diimide-co-benzodithio- phene) [poly(PMDI-BDTTh)]—are synthesized to study the influence of different thiophene-containing electron-donating groups on the crystallizability of PMDI-based conjugated polymers. Computer simulation using Density Functional Theory (DFT) [Gaussian B3LYP/6–31 + G(d,p)] indicates that poly(PMDI-BDTTh) has a more planar molecular structure than the other two copolymers. Powder XRD diffraction experiment of the poly(PMDI-BDTTh) shows a diffraction peak at about 2θ = 6.0°, but no diffraction peak occurs for poly(PMDI-BTh) and poly(PMDI-TTh). Although PMDI is a planar structure that is favorable for the molecular aggregation, a comonomer with planar structure seems to be very crucial in order to synthesize a crystallizable push–pull-type PMDI-based conjugated copolymer.

Paragraph 00104, (2018/09/21)
Substituted hydroquinones, 1,4-quinones, catechols, 1,2-quinones, anthraquinones, and anthrahydroquinones are disclosed herein. The substituted hydroquinones and catechols have the formula: while the substituted 1,4-quinones or 1,2-have the corresponding oxidized structure (1,4- benzoquinones and 1,2-benzoquinones). One or more of R1, R2, R3 and R4 include a sulfonate moiety, a sulfonimide moiety, or a phosphonate moiety, and any of R1, R2, R3 and R4 that do not include one of these moieties include an alkyl, a cycloalkyl, a thioether, a sulfoxide, a sulfone, a haloalkyl, a halogen, a nitrile, an imide, a pyrazole, or combinations thereof. The substituted anthraquinones have the formula: while the substituted anthrahydroquinones have the corresponding reduced structure. One or more of R1-R8 have a sulfonate or phosphate tethered to the ring by a thi other, amine, or ether including one or more alkyl groups. Any of R1-R8 that do not contain one of these moieties include an alkyl, a cycloalkyl, a thiother, a sulfoxide, a sulfone, a haloalkyl, a halogen, a hydroxyl, an alkoxyl, an ether, an amine, or hydrogen The substituted hydroquinones, 1,4-quinones, catechols, 1,2-quinones, anthraquinones, or anthrahydroquinones are soluble in water, stable in aqueous acid solutions, and have useful reduction potentials in the oxidized form. Accordingly, they can be used as redox mediators in emerging technologies, such as in mediated fuel cells or organic-mediator flow batteries.
Pyromellitic diimide-based donor-acceptor poly(phenylene ethynylene)s

scheme or table, p. 6711 - 6716 (2012/03/26)
A series of donor-acceptor poly(phenylene ethynylene)s (PPEs) with N,N′-dialkylpyromellitic diimide (PMDI) as electron acceptor and various donor units are reported. Optoelectronic properties were investigated by UV/vis absorption and electrochemical measurements, revealing constant LUMO energies (～-3.6 eV) across the series with HOMO energy levels governed by the donor monomers and optical band gaps from 2.30 to 1.50 eV. With a high volume fraction of solubilizing side chains, the polymers are soluble in common organic solvents, but solution NMR measurements and thermochromism in solution indicate aggregation due to additive intermolecular interactions between donor and acceptor units.
