Key approaches to the synthesis of merocyanine dyes are summarised. The dependence of
the dye properties on their chemical structure, the solvent nature and the aggregation type is …

This paper focuses on various chromophores that have been covalently linked to two
azacrown or benzocrown ether units. These compounds can interact with near-UV or visible …

Chromophores based on a donor− acceptor− donor structure possessing a large two-photon
absorption cross section and one or two mono-aza-15-crown-5 ether moieties, which can …

The photophysical properties of several newly synthesized 1-benzothiazole-3-(4-donor)-
phenyl-substituted prop-2-en-1-ones (substituted chalcones) are studied as a function of …

The absorption and fluorescence characteristics of (E)-3-(furan-2-yl)-1-(4-nitrophenyl) prop-
2-en-1-one (FNPO),(E)-1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-(furan-2-yl) prop-2-en-1-one (AFPO) and (E)-3 …

Considering the applications of fluorescent probes and the information they provide, their
brightness of fluorescence and photostability are of paramount importance. However, in the …

Spectral properties and fluorescence decay in a series of differently N-substituted
ketocyanine dyes belonging to the dibenzalcyclopentanone type were studied in solvents of …

We show here that the disubstituted ferrocenyl chalcones 1 and 2 are good electrochemical
sensors for calcium and barium in CH3CN. However, these two triflate salts are detected in a …

The syntheses of three water-soluble cruciform fluorophores (XF) carrying aniline-N, N-
bisacetic acid, 2-hydroxyaniline-N, N, O-trisacetic acid, and 1, 2-phenylenediamine-N, N …

The absorption and fluorescence characteristics of 3-(4′-dimethylaminophenyl)-1-(2-
thienyl) prop-2-en-1-one (DMATP) have been investigated in different solvents. DMATP dye …
