Abstract

The low-frequency vibrational modes of the series of merocyanines (malononitrile derivative) have been investigated by pulsed terahertz spectroscopy. The terahertz absorption spectra are shown to contain both intermolecular and intramolecular vibrational modes in the range of 0.15–3.45 THz (5–115 cm−1). An unambiguous correlation is established between the purposeful modification of the molecular structure of merocyanine dyes and the change in their terahertz absorption spectra.
