- A novel fast green method for the preparation of the squaraine dye 3-oxo-4[(1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indol-1-ium-2-yl)methylene]-2-[(1,3,3-trimethylindolin-2-ylidene)methyl]cyclobut-1-enolate, inner salt
-
A novel green method was developed for the preparation of a squaraine dye, on an 8-mmol scale, by microwave irradiation of two equivalents of 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-methyleneindoline with one equivalent squaric acid in the green solvent, ethyl l-lactate. The time required for this green synthesis is only 4?min. The target squaraine dye was isolated in excellent yield (81%) and with high purity.

- Molecular structure and spectral properties of indolenine based norsquaraines versus squaraines
-
Novel indolenine based norsquaraine dyes, wherein the oxygen of the squaric acid bridge was substituted with a barbituric or a dicyanomethylene group, were synthesized and their molecular structure, spectral and luminescent properties were compared to those of analogous squaraine dyes. The molecular structure was investigated using X-ray analysis, NMR spectroscopy and ab initio DFT B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) simulations. The calculated populations of possible conformers and the barriers of internal rotations were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Norsquaraines absorb and emitt light within the same long-wavelength spectral range as the corresponding squaraines but due to intramolecular H-bonds and increased conformational rigidity they were less sensitive to solvent polarity and the presence of protein (BSA).

- Solid-state fluorescence of squarylium dyes
-
An N-butyl indolenine squarylium dye could include toluene and p-xylene and exhibited the solid-state fluorescence in near-infrared region (F max=761 nm) in crystalline form due to inhibition of π/π-interactions between the fluorophores.

- Design and Synthesis of Near-Infrared Mechanically Interlocked Molecules for Specific Targeting of Mitochondria
-
The entrapment of squaraine (SQ) within a molecular container to form rotaxane has been shown to improve the dye stability and the fluorescence proficiency inside the mitochondria. The macrocycle provides shelter and protects the near-infrared (NIR) SQ chromophore from nucleophilic attacks made by the exposed thiol of Cys-containing mitochondrial proteins and mitochondrial glutathione. Herein a microwave-assisted template-directed clipping reaction on low-loading 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin is used to develop an NIR unsymmetrical squaraine rotaxane in high quantum yield.

- Regioselective synthesis of 1,2- vs 1,3-squaraines
-
Squaraines have been known for many decades as very stable and versatile vis-NIR absorbing dyes. They have found applications for example as sensitizers in organic photovoltaics and photodetectors. The most common squaraine structure is the 1,3-regioisomer. Their 1,2-regioisomers are seldom mentioned and unanimously regarded as side products. A facile direct synthesis of 1,2-squaraines, highlighting the role played by reaction conditions and electronic factors, is described. The first electrochemical characterization of these dyes is also shown.

- 1-(Carbamoylmethyl)-3H-indolium squaraine dyes: Synthesis, spectra, photo-stability and association with BSA
-
Novel, squarylium dyes containing 1-(alkylcarbamoylmethyl)-2,3,3-trimethyl- 3H-indolium groups were synthesized and their UV/Vis and fluorescence spectra, aggregation, photo-stability and association with bovine serum albumin were studied. The absorption and emission max wavelengths of the dyes in different solvents were in the range 619-653?nm. Compared to a typical ethyl squarylium dye, the introduction of alkylcarbamoylmethyl groups reduced aggregation and improved molar extinction coefficient, fluorescence quantum yield and photo-stability in water. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity of the dyes increased upon the addition of BSA in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution. An excellent linear relationship (r2?=?0.9982) was obtained between fluorescence intensity and bovine serum albumin concentration.
