Heptamethine Cyanine Dyes in the Design of Photoactive Carbon Nanomaterials
Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing nanomaterials, built from anionic heptamethine cyanine dyes and single-walled carbon nanotubes or few-layer graphene, are presented. The covalent linkage, using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, results in nanoconjugates that synchronize the properties of both materials, as demonstrated by an in-depth characterization study carried out by transmission electron m...
متن کاملStabilisation of a heptamethine cyanine dye by rotaxane encapsulation.
The crystal structure of a cyanine dye rotaxane shows that the cyclodextrin is tightly threaded round the polymethine bridge of the dye; encapsulation dramatically increases the kinetic chemical stability of the radicals formed on oxidation and reduction of the dye, making it possible to observe the rotaxane radical dication by ESR and UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy.
متن کاملHeptamethine cyanine dyes with a robust C-C bond at the central position of the chromophore.
Novel, highly fluorescent, monofunctional, water-soluble heptamethine cyanine dyes containing a robust C-C bond at the central position of the near-infrared fluorophore system were prepared by the Suzuki-Miyaura method. The reaction proceeded efficiently to replace the meso-chlorine atom with a carboxy-functionalized aryl moiety and afforded the desired compounds in high yields. This methodolog...
متن کاملPhotoswitching Mechanism of Cyanine Dyes
Cyanine dyes have been shown to undergo reversible photoswitching, where the fluorophore can be switched between a fluorescent state and a dark state upon illumination at different wavelengths. The photochemical mechanism by which switching occurs has yet to be elucidated. In this study, we have determined the mechanism of photoswitching by characterizing the kinetics of dark state formation an...
متن کاملCationic cyanine dyes: impact of symmetry-breaking on optical absorption and third-order polarizabilities.
A systematic study is carried out to find the exact crossover point from symmetric to asymmetric configurations (symmetry-breaking) in a series of cationic cyanine dyes. Hybrid density functional with varying exact-exchange admixture has been used to understand the impact of HF exchange both in the gas phase and in the presence of dielectric medium. This approach provides a basis for understand...
