Novel vinylogues and ethynologues of the naphthyldiphenylmethane dye system
have been synthesised and their spectral parameters measured. The extended
conjugation brings about red shifts of the absorption bands relative to th
e parent dyes. Although this effect is generally greater for the alkynyl de
rivatives, the vinylogue is better able to accommodate the peri-hindrance a
ssociated with the 4-dimethylamino-1-naphthyl group. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scie
