The bay‐decoration of perylenediimide (PDI) through C−C bond formation was achieved via Suzuki–Miyaura couplings using a dinitro precursor as a nitroarene electrophilic partner, this highlighting its unique reactivity in comparison with its brominated analog. This strategy allows an easy asymmetric π‐decoration of the PDI core, to reach D‐π‐D’ or D‐π‐A triads, opening horizons for this new class of functional materials.
