Summary
-
1.
Starting from N-arylquinolinium salts, twelve new symmetrical carbocyanines having phenyl and naphthyl radicals on the hetero nitrogen have been prepared.
-
2.
It has been shown that the introduction of phenyl and naphthyl radicals on the hetero nitrogen of quinocarbocyanines causes a bathochromic shift in the absorption maximum, as compared with the N-ethyl compounds, of 10–12 and 14–18 mμ respectively.
-
3.
Introduction of a methyl group in the meso-position of the polymethine chromephore of N-arylcarbocyanines causes an insignificant hypsochromic shift of the absorption maximum, as compared with the unsubstituted compounds.
