Abstract
The energies of the transitions of unsubstituted and substituted thia-, thiazolo-, and thienothiazolocarbocyanines, as well as quinocyanines and carbocyanines with a condensed thiophene, furan, selenophene, or pyridine ring, to the excited singlet states and their electronic structures were calculated by the MO LCAO method within the Pariser—Parr—Pople approximation. The nature of the long-wave and short-wave absorption bands in the spectra of these dyes and the peculiarities of the color of thieno-, furo-, and selenophenothiazolo- and -pyridocyanines, as well as the effect of substituents on their electronic characteristics as a function of the position in the heteroresidues and the nature of the latter, are discussed.
