Water-soluble perylene tetracarboxylic acid bisimides (PBIs) with terminally linked polyglycerol dendrons of four different generations have been synthesized. These PBI dyes reveal a strong dendritic effect, enabling outstanding fluorescence quantum yields in water up to almost 100% for the highest dendron generation.
