title: Metal ion templated self-assembly of crown ether functionalized perylene bisimide dyes.
abstract: Two new perylene bisimide (PBI) derivatives possessing crown ether receptors at the 1,7 bay-positions and solubilizing ionic imide substituents were synthesized and their self-assembly properties in the presence of different metal ions were studied, revealing highly selective barium ion templated self-assembly of 15-crown-5 functionalized PBI into H-type dimer aggregates.
