N,N' - Di-(-1-Dehydroabietyl) perylene -3,4,9,10-bis(dicarboximide) is prepared in 95 °/o yield by the condensation of perylene 3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride with dehydroabietyl amine Thermal and photostable bright red-orange dye is measured to have a fluorescence quantum yield of unity, Qf=1, in chloroform solutions. Solubility of the dye is 1 8 g/L in chloroform. The diimide is an ideal reference probe for fluorescence quantum yield measurements in 500-650 nm region and also very interesting dye for chemiluminescent light devices.
