Motivated by the results obtained from the investigation of singlet-singlet annihilation in a linear multichromophore comprising terrylene diimides (TDI) and perylene diimide (PDI) in 2010, we report the detailed process toward the successful synthesis of a TDI-PDI-TDI dyad. Ineffective synthetic pathways, which were necessary for the understanding of the step-by-step construction of the complex multichromophore, are described, leading toward a universal synthetic plan for multicomponent systems containing rylene diimides separated by rigid oligophenylene spacers.

Two new synthetic approaches to terrylenediimides, highly photostable fluorescent dyes, are described. For the first time terrylenediimide has been synthesised in a straightforward procedure that makes large quantities available. The second route includes an efficient cross-coupling reaction followed by a cyclodehy-drogenation. Monofunctionalisation of the imide structure allows terrylenediimides now to be coupled with a variety of compounds, for example, by Suzuki cross-coupling, which can lead to an array of terrylenediimides with new functional groups such as hydroxy, amino, or carboxy groups needed to link up with other molecules. The functionalisation in the bay region is used to tune the properties of terrylenediimides and extend the range of applications, for example, by introducing water solubility. These tetrasubstituted terrylenediimides offer, depending on the substituents used, exciting features such as good solubility in common organic solvents, water solubility, or NIR absorption.
