Cyanine-like dyes with large bond-length alternation.
Herein, the synthesis and properties of alkyne-bridged carbocations, which are analogous in structure to cyanine dyes, are reported. An alkene-bridged dye, linked at the third position of the indole, was also synthesized as a reference compound. These new carbocations are stable under ambient condit...
