Abstract
Perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimides (perylene diimides, PDIs) have been used as industrial pigments for many years. More recently, new applications for PDI derivatives have emerged in areas including organic photovoltaic devices and field-effect transistors. This Perspective discusses the synthesis and physical properties of PDI derivatives and their applications in organic electronics.
