A new red hair-inspired 1, 4-benzothiazine-based scaffold is disclosed herein, built upon a
modular D-π-A architecture via condensation of the easily accessible 3-phenyl-2 H-1, 4 …

Abstract Δ 2, 2'-bi-(2H-1, 4-benzothiazine) chromophore of trichochrome pigments occurring
in red hair and feathers has been recognized as a source of inspiration for the design of …

1, 4-Benzothiazines are the main building blocks of the naturally occurring pheomelanin
pigments, and their chromophoric properties have been strongly related to the well-known …

Four benzothiazole-derived pentamethine cyanine dyes were synthesized with a pyridine
moiety at the meso-position of the methine chain with a reaction yield of 89–93%. These …

A series of phenothiazine-based A-π-DA type 'push-pull'molecules containing sites sensitive
to external stimuli was designed and synthesized by phase transfer Heck coupling reaction …

A novel fluorescent difluoroboroazaoxobenzazulene dye has been synthesized from
commercially available substrates in “one pot”; it was characterized structurally and …

By introducing phenothiazine framework as an electron donating component, we have
developed a unique deep-red functional fluorescent dye 5b, bearing excellent photophysical …

Complete spectral and computational characterization of Δ2, 2′‐bi (2H‐1, 4‐
benzothiazine)(BBTZ) demonstrated that the structures of the stable yellow form and the …

Three novel spiro N-oxidized pyrrolidone-appended hemicyanine derivatives have been
synthesized and characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, UV–Vis and HRMS. The molecular …
