چکیده
LLE Review, Volume 106 112 Introduction The development of an ideal series of dyes for liquid crystal (LC) device applications represents a formidable synthesis challenge for chemists. To be considered useful for applications in LC devices, the class of dyes under consideration must have (1) a high solubility in the host matrix; (2) good long-term chemical, thermal, and optical stability; (3) low impact on the LC order parameter; (4) a large molar absorptivity; (5) low electrical conductivity; (6) large dichroic ratio; and (7) a mmax located in the region of interest that can be tuned to some extent by relatively simple modifications in molecular structure. Dyes that possess all or nearly all of these properties are, for the most part, readily available for visible-region applications because of the large market for information display applications, which has provided Transition Metal Dithiolene Near-IR Dyes and Their Applications in Liquid Crystal Devices

Computational Modeling of Spectral Properties of Azobenzene Derivatives
Azobenzenes have been noted for their ability to undergo isomerization between the straight trans isomer and the bent cis isomer with visible light and UV irradiation, respectively. Their photochemically induced isomerization make them highly useful in optical switching devices. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) can model highly complex molecules like azobenzenes accurately, effi...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of Spectral Properties of Nickel Dithiolene Dyes
Nickel dithiolene dyes, noted for their intense long-wavelength electronic transitions, have been notoriously dificult molecules to model. This study has investigated the use of timedependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to model these dyes. The absorption spectra of an extensive set of near-infrared nickel dithiolene dyes have been evaluated for the first time using TDDFT. Bulk solvent ef...
متن کاملSolvent Effects on the Spectral Properties of the Methine Dyes
Recently, methine dyes have attracted interest for their possible application in display devices [1, 2 ] . A liquid crystal display based on the ability of "guest"' pleochroic dyes to align parallel to the "host" liquid crystal was first described by Heilmeier and Zanoni [3 ] . Since then the basic properties of "guest-host" type liquid crystal display devices and the effects of various paramet...
متن کاملWavelength-tuneable liquid crystal lasers from the visible to the near-infrared
The study of band-edge lasing from dye-doped chiral nematic liquid crystals has thus far been largely restricted to visible wavelengths. In this paper, a wide range of commercially available laser dyes are examined for their suitability as infrared emitters within a chiral nematic host. Problems such as poor solubility and reduced quantum efficiencies are overcome, and successful band-edge lasi...

In the present work, the simultaneous determination of Brilliant green (BG) and Crystal violet (CV) dyes with overlapped absorption spectra in binary mixture solution, was carreid out using the partial least squares (PLS) and direct ortogonal signal correction-partial least squares (DOSC-PLS) methods. The results obtained indicate that by applying DOSC on the calibration and prediction data for...
