The lipid double layer of liposomes was doped with the perylene dye S-17 and linked to antibodies. The highly fluorescent antibodies thus labelled could be detected with a simple fluorescence microscope and visually traced to their binding site. The labelled antibodies could be stored for more than one year. There are many of different applications of such labelled antibodies in analytics and diagnostics.

Tetracarboxylic bisimide lactame ring contractions - a novel type of rearrangement
The reaction of alcoholic alkali with aromatic tetracarboxylic bisimides such as perylene tetracarboxylic bisimides (1) or naphthalene tetracarboxylic bisimides (3) causes their transformation to the corresponding lactame imides (2 and 4, respectively). This transformation is a novel type of rearrangement. The lactame imdides absorb appreciably more bathochromically than the corresponding bisimides. Thus coloured lactamimides (4) were obtained from the colourless naphthalene tetracarboxylic bisimides (3).

The synthesis of perylene-3,4-dicarboxylic imides
There is no simple and universal synthetic access to perylene-3,4-dicarboxylic imides (5) in contrast to the perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic bisimides. These perylene-3,4-dicarboxylic imides (5) could be prepared in a single-step-synthesis from the technical perylene bisanhydride (4) by a water-induced decarboxylizing cyclization. The perylene imides (5) are highly fluorescent and are universal synthetic intermediates, for example, for the synthesis of multichromophoric dyes.

Perylene amidinimide dyes
The exchange of one carbonyl group of perylene-3,4-9,10-tetracarboxylic bisimides versus a C=N-unit results in a bathochromic shift of absorption and fluorescence. Thus, highly red to orange fluorescent dyes were obtained.

The determination of molecular weights of dyes by GPC
It could be demonstrated with perylene dyes that gel permeation chromatography is suitable for the determination of the molecular weights of dissolved dyes. This is of interest because of the low voltailibility of many dyes and is of special importance for the analysis of bi- tri- and multichromophoric dyes.
