6-Amino-5-cyano-3-methyl-1,4-diarylpyrano [2,3-c]pyrazole derivatives
were prepared via the interaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated nitriles w
ith 3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-one as starting materials in the synthe
sis of new asymmetrical mono-(tri)methine cyanine dyes. The new cyanin
es were characterised by elemental analysis, IR and H-1-NMR spectral d
ata. The visible absorption spectra of some selected dyes were investi
gated in pure and mixed solvents as well as in aqueous buffer solution
