Abstract
The electronic transitions in molecules of the ketocyanine dyes (polyenic ω,ω′-bisamino ketones) were calculated by quantum chemical methods. Satisfactory agreement was obtained between the experimental bands of the S-S absorption spectra and calculated electronic transitions for the ketocyanine with the central pyranone moiety and the corresponding salt assuming an acute angle between the chromophores and for the ketocyanine with the central pyridone moiety assuming an obtuse angle between the chromophores. Such molecular conformations were confirmed by the gNOESY 1H NMR data for these dyes. The difference in the conformations of the dyes with the pyranone and pyridone moieties is due, most likely, to steric hindrance created by the central methyl groups in the molecules of the latter. The salts corresponding to these dyes have similar conformational differences.
