Squaraine dyes are a class of organic dyes with strong and narrow absorption bands in the
near-infrared. Despite high molar absorptivities and fluorescence quantum yields, these …

Squaraine dyes (SQs) are an important class of polymethine dyes with a unique reasonable‐

It has been proved that the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is closely related to
the intrinsic features of the photosensitizer (PS). Over the recent years, several efforts have …

Since they were first synthesized in 1965 by Treibs and Jacob, squaraine dyes have
revolutionized the polymethine dyes''universe'and their potential applications due to their …

Three indolenine-based barbiturate squaraine dyes were synthesized, characterized and
subjected to photophysical studies, including their affinity with human serum albumin and …

In spite of significant progress in the development of novel photosensitizers for
