Self-assembly of multi-stranded perylene dye J-aggregates in columnar liquid-crystalline phases

Perylene bisimides (PBI) exhibit interesting photophysical and self-assembly properties but detailed understanding of the correlation between packing motif and spectroscopic properties is lacking. Here the authors report on self-assembling of PBIs in liquid crystalline phases to give aggregates with...
