title: Green and highly efficient synthesis of perylene and naphthalene bisimides in nothing but water.
abstract: High-purity, symmetrically substituted perylene and naphthalene bisimides were obtained by hydrothermal condensation of monoamines with the corresponding bisanhydride. The hydrothermal imidization proceeds quantitatively, without the need for organic solvents, catalysts or excess of the amines.
