These dyes exhibit large and intense absorptions in the near-infrared region with varying absorption maxima in the range of 771 to 815 nm. Key words: squarylium dyes - X-ray crystallographic analysis - heterocycles - π-conjugation structures - chromophores Full Text References References <A NAME="RF08201SS-1">1</A> Sprenger H.-E.
