Recently, Near-infrared (NIR)colorant is intriguing and attractive but full of challenges. Although some cyanine colorant have been commercialized, near-infrared colorant with intensive NIR absorption, good chemical and photo-stability, and high solubility still remain as target compound. Certain polycyclic aromatic compounds such as quaterrylene represent a key class of NIR colorant and also give rise to outstanding physical and chemical properties after appropriate chemical modification. In this study, We have tried to introduceimide functional group to quaterrylene in order to give chemical and thermal stability. Finally, N,N'-bis (2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-quarterrylene-3,4:13,14-tetracarboximide was synthesized and evaluated its properties using $^1H$ NMR, Maldi-tof, TGA, and UV/VIS/NIR spectroscopy as NIR colorant. The quaterrylene bisimide compound exhibit a excellent thermal stability and chemical stability.

A variety of dyes are commercially available today, there is an ongoing need for new chromophoric systems and low-band-gap materials. For example, near-infrared (NIR) emission has received increased attention for applications in bioassays and medicine while NIR absorption is demanded for laser-welding of plastics or efficient blocking of heat rays. Most of the commercially available NIR materials are not suitable for such purposes owing to their insufficient stability. We have developed a novel NIR-absorbing polyaromatic dye. By extending the system of perylenebis(dicarboximide)s along the molecular long axis, we have obtained the higher homologue pentarylenebis(dicarboximide). We have tried to introduce imide functional group to pentarylene in order to increase chemical and thermal stability.
