Abstract
Abstract Merocyanine dyes belong to the class of neutral polymethine dyes, where one terminal component is typically found in cyanine dyes and the second obtained from an active methylene compound. The different electron acceptor/donator abilities of the two terminal components have a marked impact on the electronic structure of a merocyanine dye and its equilibrium structure and electronic spectra. Their first technical application was spectral sensitization in silver halide photography. Today they have numerous of applications in textile dyeing and as membrane potential sensitive fluorescent dyes.
