Colloidal Crystals Engineered with DNA and Perylenediimide Exhibit Symmetry-Breaking Charge Transfer.
Perylenediimide (PDI) and its derivatives are widely studied for their photophysical and photochemical properties, making them promising candidates for photonic materials, organic semiconductors, and molecular qubits. However, the lack of control over their aggregation pathways and charge-transfer coupling severely lim...
