Abstract:
A novel ortho/ bay annulation reaction of perylene bisimide (PBI) has been explored in a single step synthetic procedure using perylene bisimide 1 and 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in the absence of any metal catalyst. The single crystal solid-state X-ray diffraction structure showed a distorted framework of DBU-fused PBI 2. Compound 2 exhibited intense near-infrared absorption up to 950 nm. Reversible protonation and deprotonation accompany drastic changes in the photophysical characteristics. Further, the reaction of perylene biscarboxyanhydride with DBU offered a caprolactam ring-substituted perylene bisimide 3.

Strong Acid and Base Solutions
Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:
