A key issue for the application of π-conjugated organic molecules as thin film solid-state
materials is the packing structure, which drastically affects optical and electronic properties …

An extension of the essential states model is developed to investigate the absorption and
electronic properties of a highly dipolar merocyanine dye and double and quadruple π …

A series of well-defined chromophore stacks is obtained upon self-assembly of merocyanine
and bis (merocyanine) dyes in nonpolar solvents. Careful design of the spacer moieties …

Exciton coupling is of fundamental importance and determines functional properties of
organic dyes in (opto-) electronic and photovoltaic devices. Here we show that strong …

In this study, the optical properties and excited-state dynamics of the unique self-assembled
donor-acceptor (DA) merocyanine dye stacks from dimer up to octamer, prepared via dipole …

New merocyanines dyes with tricyanopropylidene‐based acceptor units connected to
dihexylaminophenyl or dihexylaminothiophenyl donor moieties through polyenic bridges of …

A novel bis (merocyanine) dye has been synthesized and its folding and aggregation
behavior has been elucidated in dependence on the solvent polarity. Extended cofacially π …

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 …

Conspectus π-Conjugation between heterocyclic donor (D) and acceptor (A) groups via a
polymethine chain leads to dyes with dipole moments greater than 10 D. These dipole …

Ultranarrowband organic photodiodes (OPDs) are demonstrated for thin film solid state
materials composed of tightly packed dipolar merocyanine dyes. For these dyes the packing …
