title: Copper-mediated domino process for the synthesis of tetraiodinated di(perylene bisimide).
abstract: Tetraiodinated di(perylene bisimide) has been prepared from tetrabrominated perylene bisimide by the combination of Ullmann-type coupling, C-H transformation, and halogen-exchange. The crystal structure analysis confirmed that the aromatic core is quite distorted because of the electrostatic repulsion and steric encumbrance of iodine substituents in the bay regions.
