title: Perylene bisimide dyes as versatile building blocks for functional supramolecular architectures.
abstract: Perylene bisimide dyes and their organization into supramolecular architectures through hydrogen-bonding, metal ion coordination and pi-pi-stacking is discussed; further self-assembly leading to nano- and meso-scopic structures and liquid-crystalline compounds is also addressed.
