Abstract
In this study new hexamethine asy-cyanine colorants were synthesized by the reaction of
N,N-dimethylaminophenylbutadienylphenyl ketone, N,N-dimethyl-aminophenylbutadienyl-4’-
bromophenyl ketone and N,N-dimethylamino-phenylbutadienyl-4’-methylphenyl ketone with
2-methyl-N-propyl quinolinium iodide and 6-substituted-2-methyl-N-propyl quinolinium
iodides in ethanolic DMF with piperidine catalyst. These colorants were shown to have
uniform bathochromic shifts (BS) when compared to analogues with no substituent at β-
phenyl nucleus or analogues having dimethine or tetramethine asy-cyanine colorants. They
further showed bathochromic shifts with electron withdrawing group (NO2 group) electron
donating (CH3 group) at 4’-position at β-phenyl nucleus.
