Several bisazomethine dyes are known to form J-aggregates in vapour-deposited films. In this work, novel bisazomethine dyes were synthesized and the effect of phenyl ring substitution on the J-aggregate formation in vapour-deposited films was examined. The optical properties of the dyes were examined in solution and in the solid state through molecular orbital calculations. Four derivatives were found to form J-aggregates in vapour-deposited films as determined from the shape of the spectrum and the absorption edge.}, pages = {56--64}, title = {Effect of phenyl ring substitution on J-aggregate formation ability of novel bisazomethine dyes in vapour-deposited films}, volume = {90}, year = {2011} }
