BTAMI: a core-twisted quaterrylene

Chemical structure of a chromophore in the form of a quaterrylene derivative featuring peripheral tert-butyl (–C(CH₃)₃) substituents and sterically hindering, core-anchored triflate groups (–O–SO₂CF₃). This unique core-twisted rylene strongly absorbs in the visible region and interestingly, presents a phosphorescence far in the near infra-red spectral region [1].

In the above model, the brown balls represent sulfur atoms, the red balls represent oxygen, the purple balls represent fluorine atoms. Carbon is represented in green and hydrogen in black.
