51. 1H NMR spectroscopy clearly showed the presence of the 1,6- and 1,6,7-regioisomers in the crude reaction mixture. We have discovered that these isomers can be removed in the case of perylene bisimides with two different substitucnts at the N-imide positions. In the literature, perylenes substituted at the bay positions are often prepared along with small amounts of regioisomers, although this is hardly ever mentioned by the authors, see: a) U. Rohr, C. Kohl, K. Müllen, A. van de Craats, J. Warman. J. Mater. Chem. 2001, 11, 1789-1799;

54. Since the dielectric constant of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene [ε = 2.24 (25 °C)] is lower than that of chloroform [ε = 4.81 (20 °C)] we expect a slightly higher dimerization constant in the former solvent.
55. -1), which is an upper limit for the dimerization constant of OPV4UT-PERY, a maximum 70 % of the molecules appear as dimers in solution.
56. For OPV4UT-PERY, the lattice constants of a 2D unit cell of oblique symmetry were estimated to be a = 2,66±0.05, b = 5.9±0.2nm, and γ = 71 ± 2° by extrapolation. For OPV4UT, these parameters arc a = 1.99±0.05, ft = 5.4±0.2 nm. and γ = 85 ± 3°.
57. The substitution at the bay area of the PERY unit (two tert-butylphenoxy groups) is different from that in the donor-acceptor-donor (DAD) triads previously investigated (four tert-butylphenoxy groups). However, we do not anticipate big differences in the bias dependence as unsubstituted perylene bisimide units show a bias-dependent behavior identical to that of the DAD triad with four tert-butylphenoxy groups (see ref. [8b]).

62. The perylene bisimide emission maximum in dodecane is shifted hypsochromically from that in chloroform whereas excitonic coupling between π-conjugated chromophores should yield a distinct bathochromic luminescence shift. The temperature-dependent data, however, do exhibit a bathochromic shift upon self-assembly. The blue shift observed upon going from chloroform to dodecane may be due to specific environmental or packing parameters.

67. cm = 580 nm with increasing OPV4UT-PERY concentration, which is similar for both systems.
68. This is corroborated by the measured Cotton effects (data not shown), which are totally lost for OPV3UT or strongly decrease in intensity for OPV4UT upon addition of OPV4UT-PERY.
