Abstract

AbstractThere are a lot of different dye classes with complete different chemical structures. On the basis of a common classification the term “polymethine dyes” was created in 1926. Common criteria are a conjugated polymethine chain with terminal functional groups and an odd number 2n + 3 ofπ-centers and 2n + 4π-electrons (nis the number of vinyl groups), the vinylene shift of the 0–0 vibronic transition of about 100 nm per vinyl group, the influence of substituents or heteroatoms according to Dewar´s Rules and a bathochromic shift by twisting of the polymethine chain according to the Brunings–Corwin effect.
