It is known that polymethine dyes (PD) can form complexes with biomacromolecules, in
which, as a rule, fluorescence buildup is observed. In addition, PD possess a unique …

Cyanine dyes are widely used as fluorescent probes in biophysics and medical biochemistry
due to their unique photophysical and photochemical properties (their photonics). This …

Formation of the “J-aggregate-surfactant” complex for three cyanine dyes (L-21, LC-1 and
PIC) in binary solutions containing cationic surfactant CPB at the concentration higher than …

The coherence length of the Frenkel excitons (N coh) is one of the most critical parameters
governing many key features of supramolecular J-aggregates. Determining experimentally …

We present thoroughly analyzed experimental results that demonstrate the anomalous
manifestation of the exciton self-trap** effect, which is already well-known in bulk crystals …

Two newly synthesized symmetrical heptamethine cyanine dyes, AK7-5 and AK7-6,
absorbing in the region of low autofluorescence of biological samples, have been tested for …

A series of symmetric pentamethine cyanine dyes derived from various N-substituted
benzothiazolium/benzoselenazolium salts, and a conjugated bis-aniline derivative …

Join or attack: meso‐Cyclam‐substituted heptamethine cyanine dye 1 responds very
differently to the presence of metal ions and protons. Whereas the former are embraced in a …

The aggregation behavior of 1-methyl-1′-octadecyl-2, 2′-cyanine perchlorate (amphi-PIC)
and 3, 3′-dimethyl-9-(2-thienyl)-thiacarbocyanine iodide (L-21) dyes in binary …

Advances (2016–2017) in Quantum Chemistry of the Excited State (QCEX) are presented in
this book chapter focusing firstly on developments of methodology and excited-state reaction …
