Peptide linked perylene bisimide and diketopyrrolopyrrole: design, synthesis and investigation of mechanofluorochromism

The synthesis of perylene diimide (PDI-PEP) and diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP-PEP) derivatives which are substituted with a peptide linker in a core and wings manner (here DPP acts as the core moiety and the peptide linker works as the wings).
