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 …

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 …

We have synthesized a large series of bis (merocyanine) dyes with varying spacer unit and
investigated in detail their self‐organization behavior by concentration‐as well as solvent …

Here we report a synthetic protocol toward a merocyanine (MC) pentamer 1 which
represents the first merocyanine oligomer longer than a dimer. By continuously decreasing …

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 …

Dipolar aggregation: Examples of a novel class of tweezer molecules have been
constructed through the tethering of two dipolar merocyanine chromophores. The …

Step by step: Bis (merocyanine) dyes 1 self-assemble in a stepwise manner with increasing
concentration to afford supramolecular polymers, organogels, and liquid-crystalline phases …

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

Two highly dipolar merocyanine dyes were tethered by a rigid tris (n-dodecyloxy) xylylene
unit that preorganizes the dyes for a supramolecular polymerization process through …

A novel supramolecular building block (8) that consists of a Hamilton receptor and two
merocyanine dyes has been synthesized, and the self‐assembly based on orthogonal …
