What is it about?
1,8-Naphthalimide is a dipolar fluorophore andin solid state the packing pattern of such molecule having a functional unit such as pyridine would adopt head to tail and head to head arrangement. In this study the packing patterns of positional isomers of picolyl-naphthalimides are evaluated and the role of pi-interactions and other weak interactions are illustrated.

Why is it important?
Fluorescence properties of self assembled systems in the form of aggregates such as H, J aggregates are well known the present system or similar system would provides scopes to generalize such properties.
Perspectives
Solid state directional properties are related to packing patterns. Solvation, symmetry non-equivalence, defects and more importantly directional orderly arrangements are most important. Thus, these systems will provide fundamental basis on bottom up constructions as well as provide information at molecular level to understand or explain properties of similar systems or at different molecular scales.
