“…[d] = Quantum yield was estimated using HITC (1,1',3,3,3',3'hexamethylindotricar-bocyanine) iodide (Φ fl = 0.28 in EtOH) as standard pair, it is observed that Changsha dyes with chlorine substituted phenol group (CS10) [41,61,68] show ∼ 10 nm bathochromic shift in absorption and no considerable change in emission in comparison to phenol substituted Changsha dyes (CS9). [41,61,68,75,[84][85][86][87][88][89] In the 2nd set of Changsha dyes, i. e., CS9, CS12, CS13, [41,61,68,75,[84][85][86][87][88][89] are not in the same solvent, we can draw a general observation that replacing phenol group (CS9) with N-alkyl aniline group (CS13, CS12) shows a bathochromic shift of ∼ 100 nm in absorption as well as emission. [41,61,68,75,[84][85][86][87][88][89] The 3rd set of Changsha dyes, i. e., CS12, CS13, and CS14, [41,61,68,69] are not in the same solvent.…”
