Perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) is an organic dye molecule and an organic semiconductor. It is used as a precursor to a class of molecules known as Rylene dyes, which are useful as pigments and dyes. It is a dark red solid with low solubility in aromatic solvents. The compound has attracted much interest as an organic semiconductor.^[2]

Structure

PTCDA consists of a perylene core to which two anhydride groups have been attached, one at either side. It occurs in two crystalline forms, α and β.^[3] Both have the P2₁/c monoclinic symmetry and a density of ca. 1.7 g/cm³, which is relatively high for organic compounds. Their lattice parameters are:

Form	a	b	c	γ
α	0.374 nm	1.196 nm	1.734 nm	98.8°
β	0.378 nm	1.930 nm	1.077 nm	83.6°
