A novel synthesis of aminosquarylium cyaninedyes, based on the methylation of readily available squarylium dyes with methyl triflate, followed by nucleophilic substitution with appropriate aliphatic amines, was disclosed. By this procedure several new aminosquarylium cyaninedyes bearing benzothiazole, benzoselenazole and quinoline nuclei were prepared.

The binding interactions between SQ2 squaraine dye and cucurbit[8]uril (CB8) effectively removes the aggregation of SQ2 in aqueous solution by forming a 1â:â1 inclusion complex. The resulting SQ2·CB8 complex exhibits highly selective fluorescence quenching by Hg2+ ions, as a result of the synergetic binding between CB8, SQ2 and metal cation.

A novel fluorescent system has been assembled by using ATP, surfactant, and a squaraine dye in an aqueous buffer solution. In the system, a cationic surfactant such as cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) forms a sphere-like micelle, whose positive charge at the surface of the micelle attracts the negatively charged ATP to form a unique organized nanostructure. Such an organized system is shown to interact with the squaraine dye (SQ) to perturb its aggregate structure, thereby generating the optical response. The nanostructure of the assembly has been characterized by dynamic light-scattering (DLS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The unique feature of the developed sensing system is that the analytes ATP form part of the assembly structure. The system utilizes forces such as electrostatic interaction and π–π stacking of the aromatic segment of ATP and SQ to achieve the selective detection of ATP.

The photophysical properties of two bis(benzothiazolylidene)squaraine dyes have been studied in aromatic hydrocarbon and alcoholic solvents. These dyes exhibit fluorescence quantum yields of 0.06-0.52 and excited singlet lifetimes of 0.48-2.5 ns in these solvents. Although the photophysical properties of the dyes are independent of solvent polarity in the hydrocarbon solvents, in alcoholic solvents a marked hyposchromic shift in the absorption and emission spectra and a reduction in lifetimes of excited state have been observed. These effects have been correlated with the hydrogen bond donating ability of the alcoholic solvents.
