The present invention relates to cyanine compounds, compositions comprising them, articles of manufacture, and methods of making and using them. The cyanines usefully comprise one or more carboxyl groups or derivatives thereof that are indirectly attached to an aryl ring on an alkylaryl cyanine substituent. Also provided are conjugates of the disclosed cyanines and one or more other substances. Solvates, solutions, and derivatized forms of the cyanines are also provided. The cyanines find use in a variety of bioassays, both in direct single-label applications and in energy transfer formats. Methods utilizing the disclosed cyanines for analyzing a sample for a target are provided. Also disclosed are detection complexes comprising the disclosed cyanines, as well as compositions and articles comprising the cyanines in an excited state, for example formed by direct excitation or by energy transfer. The cyanines may be used as alternatives to other known optically active species in a variety of settings. Other embodiments are described further herein.
