The present invention relates to new heteroaromatic compounds having two-photon absorption activity. According to the invention, said compounds are suitable for use as optical power limiting agents via two-photon absorption or for use as imaging agents with two-photon absorbing activity for application in two-photon laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. Compositions including said compounds and intermediates for their preparations are also within the scope of the present invention.
Asymmetric cyanine compounds represented by general formula I are provided, wherein X, n, R1, R2, R3, R4 and Y− are as defined in the specification. They have a maximum absorption peak at about 640 nm which may not change with ambient temperature. When the compounds bind a nucleic acid to form a dye/nucleic acid complex, the fluorescence intensity of the complexes will increased rapidly, so that they can be used as a staining agent for nucleic acids in flow cytometers. Their spectra are in the near-infrared region, which can effectively reduce the interference from background fluorescence and improve the accuracy of detection. Moreover, the compounds provided can also be used as a staining agent for blood reticulocytes.
In an electrophotographic photosensitive material comprising an electroconductive substrate having positioned thereon a photosensitive layer comprising as main components titanium dioxide and a binding material, the photosensitivity and whiteness can be improved by allowing a specific cyanine dye compound to exist in said photosensitive layer.

The dyes of the present invention are useful for many purposes that include markers or tags for detecting the presence of a molecule or compound to which they are bound. The dyes may be either red-excitable or blue-excitable. The dyes of the invention are particularly well suited for staining of nucleic acids. For example, these dyes are particularly suitable for staining of RNA in reticulocytes. In another exemplary application, these dyes are suitable for staining DNA in nucleated red blood cells. Typically, when used in staining of nucleic acids, the dyes are formulated into reagent solutions. In addition, the invention provides compositions and methods for facilitating rapid transport of dye molecules through a cell membrane. Such rapid staining requires that a sample be contacted with a dye composition of the invention in the presence of at least one surfactant and optionally, a sulfonic acid or a salt thereof.
