A series of merocyanine dye dimers tethered at different sites with spacers ranging from 0 to
5 methylene groups and the corresponding monomer have been synthesized. The …

A series of merocyanine (MC) oligomers with a varying number of chromophores from two to
six has been synthesized via a peptide synthesis strategy. Solvent-dependent UV/vis …

A merocyanine dye equipped with a Hamilton-receptor unit has been synthesized that
enables strong noncovalent binding of other merocyanine dyes bearing barbituric acid …

Two identical or different merocyanine dyes were tethered by a rigid diphenylacetylene
spacer unit that enables the folding of the two dyes into co-facially π-stacked structures in …

A particular concern regarding the photophysical properties of merocyanine 540 derivatives,
and related cyanine dyes, involves identifying which double bond in the central polyenic …

A self-complementary Hamilton-receptor-functionalized merocyanine dye has been
synthesized by incorporating a hydrogen bonding receptor site to the donor moiety of a …

Absorption and resonance Raman spectra have been measured over a wide range of
solvents for two merocyanine dyes containing the indoline (“Fischer” base) electron donor …

Conformational changes in two hemicyanine-based bichromophores were demonstrated by
varying the polarity as well as temperature of the medium. Dramatic changes in the ground …

Multichromophoric hydrogen-bonded assemblies 13⋅(BAR) 6 are studied that bear a
remarkably close resemblance to commelinin, a naturally occurring assembly responsible …

Fluorophores with high quantum yields are desired for a variety of applications. Optimization
of promising chromophores requires an understanding of the non-radiative decay channels …
