(Chemical Equation Presented) Slide rules: A new class of membrane-active rigid-rod molecules comprising π-acidic, n-semiconducting oligoperylene-diimides is introduced (see picture). They are able to combine passive anion transport across lipid bilayers with photoactive electron transport in the other direction across intact vesicle membranes. Thus, the compounds demonstrate artificial photosynthetic activity.
