摘要

Abstract

Donor-node-acceptor (D-n-A) systems based on perylene bisimide (PBI) have emerged as versatile platforms for organic electronics and quantum materials. In this architecture

a non-conjugated node

typically an imide nitrogen

breaks conjugation between the donor and acceptor

spatially separating the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) on the two components. This decoupling renders p- and n-type doping independent and precisely controllable

thereby overcoming the fundamental limitations of conventional conjugated polymers. This review systematically summarizes the recent progress in D-n-A systems from small molecules to functional polymers. In PBI dyads and triads

node-induced exciton coupling enables tunable photophysics

whereas molecular conformation controls the competition between fluorescence and symmetry-breaking charge separation. The cascade energy-level alignment in the D-n-A

-n-A

architectures yields long-lived charge-separated states by spatially separating the radical ion pair. Covalent linking of stable radicals (TEMPO

TTM) to PBI or naphthalene bisimide (NBI)

via

nodes allows efficient photoinduced intersystem crossing and the formation of quartet states (S=3/2)

promising for molecular qubits. In the polymer domain

D-n-A polymers with a small fraction of PBI acceptors exhibit photoenhanced hole transportation

serving as hole-transporting layers for photodetectors. Bipolar polymers with a D:A ratio of approximately 1:1 demonstrate ambipolar charge transport and storage and have been successfully applied in flexible supercapacitors

lithium-ion batteries

and multicolor electrochromic devices. Finally

the outlook highlights future directions: precise control of donor-acceptor coupling

optimization of polymer morphology

translation to stable solid-

state systems

and multifunctional integration of electrochemistry with spin quantum properties.
