Abstract

Abstract A new class of dyes, in which the self-assembling property of surfactants is combined with the capability for light energy propagation over long distances in dye J- aggregates, is described. This has been achieved by the syntheses of achiral 5, 5′, 6, 6′- tetrachlorobenzimidacarbocyanine dyes 1, possessing systematically varied hydrophobic and hydrophilic substituents at their nitrogen atoms. These substituents are introduced ...
