Part of the book series: Springer Series on Fluorescence ((SS FLUOR,volume 1))

Abstract

Symmetric and unsymmetric cyanine dyes, styryl dyes, and styryl bases are among the most widely used classes of organic dyes [1,2] and are employed in various applications including, e.g., spectral sensitization [3, 4], fluorescent labels [5,6] and probes [7,8] for biochemical applications, or laser dyes [9] The general molecular structure of all three types of dyes includes an electron donating and an electron accepting moiety which are in direct electronic conjugation via either (i) an oligomethine π-system -(CH=CH-)n as in the cyanines or (ii) an (elongated, for n > 1) styrene-type n-system -(CH=CH-)nC6H4- as in the ionic styryl dyes with a (formally) charged acceptor and in the neutral styryl bases Furthermore, cyanine dyes can be subdivided according to their symmetric or unsymmetric end group substitution pattern These interesting electronic properties along with their often largely different chemical structures such as, for instance, the presence of several bridged single and/or double bonds, have led to an intensive investigation of trans-cis photoisomerization processes [10–13], nonradiative deactivation pathways [14, 15], and general structure photophysics relationships [16–18] as well as many theoretical studies [19–23] over the past few years.
