Utilizing the unexplored chemistry of a monocarbon analog to perylene bisimide, a covalently linked angular perylene dimer was synthesized. On the basis of measured optical properties and molecular modeling, the spectral changes relative to a monomeric reference perylene can be explained by an angle-dependent oblique exciton coupling model. With a roughly trigonal interchromophore arrangement, the dimer building block is promising for larger, cyclic assemblies to mimic naturally occurring light harvesting complexes.
