General description

Perylene belongs to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It is a hydrophobic fluorescent probe used for imaging lipid bilayer membranes.

Application

Perylene may be used as an analytical standard along with a mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to determine the spatial distribution and sources of PAHs in surface sediments of rivers. It may also be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in water samples using spectrofluorimetric technique.

Herein, we report on the theoretical-experimental analysis of the two-photon absorption (TPA) and two-photon circular-linear dichroism (TPCLD) spectra of a highly conjugated, rigid, and centrosymmetric molecule in solution, that is, perylene/CH2Cl2. We show how a three-energy-level diagram, under the sum-over-essential
