Abstract
Mixed Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of two novel thiophene-spaced N-alkylpyr idinium malononitrile zwitterionic dyes have been prepared. The LB films pr esent two sharp, non-overlapping charge-transfer absorption bands which can be selectively photobleached in a irreversible fashion. The former could h ave potential application in multifrequency optical data storage. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
