Perylene bisimide as a versatile fluorescent tool for environmental and biological analysis: a review

Talanta. 2011 Sep 15;85(3):1233-7. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2011.06.010. Epub 2011 Jun 14.

Abstract

Perylene bisimide (PBI) is a fluorescent dye which has strong emission and high photostability. Although PBI has been widely used for industrial materials, the application of PBI in analytical fields was limited mainly due to its high hydrophobicity. In recent years, however, unique and useful analytical methods based on PBI platform are being successfully developed by utilizing the characteristic features of this compound including its high hydrophobicity. In this article, the recent trend of environmental and biological analysis using PBI is reviewed.
