… of dipolar merocyanine dyes owing to electrostatic interactions. Because both hydrogen-bonding
and dipole–dipole interactions among merocyanines … intermolecular interaction energy (…

… for the highly dipolar dyes 1a−m may be generalized to a common description of merocyanine
dimerization by dipolar interactions. A representative selection of merocyanine dyes has …

… As test compounds we chose two merocyanines, a ketocyanine dye (M1) and stilbazolium
… Abundant experimental data concerning the absorption spectra of these dyes in solvents of …

… (1) The V DFT values represent energetically minimized structures in the gas phase where
dipole–dipole interactions are much stronger as in a polarizable solvent environment. (2) The …

… dipole moment in the discrete antiparallel dimer state. Herein, we describe the self-assembly
of a merocyanine dye … effect of dipole-dipole interactions and strong dispersion forces, …

… of a highly dipolar merocyanine dye and double and quadruple π-stacks formed upon the
folding and self-assembly of appropriate spacer-tethered bis(merocyanine) dyes. Our analysis …

… Thus, depending on the nature of the solvent (i) dipole-dipole interactions and/or (ii) hydrogen
bonds can contribute to the same extent to the hypsochromic shift. The delicate question …

… of strong dispersion interactions and that the kinetic barrier for disassembly is pretty high
in solvents of low permittivity where dipolar forces between antiparallel dye pairs are large. In …

… In this contribution we study the photochemistry of a fluorescent merocyanine dye, 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-tert-butyl-6-[3-(3-butyl-benzothiazol-2-ylidene)1-propenyl]-4H-pyran
(DCBT, …

… self-assembly of merocyanine and bis(merocyanine) dyes in nonpolar solvents… dipolar
chromophores within the bis(merocyanine) dyes allows one to direct the dipole–dipole interaction …
