Abstract
Studies on the chemistry of polymethine cyanine dyes carried out since 1958 at the East China University of Science and Technology (formerly the East China University of Chemical Technology) are reviewed. The d yes studied include polymethine cyanine dyes used in photography and d ye losers. Kinetic studies of the formation of polymethine dyes, and t he theory of sensitization are also described.
