This tricationic hemicyanine dye shows a high-intensity broad absorption band with a maximum at about 500 nm, corresponding to the S₀ → S₁ state owing to intramolecular charge transfer from the electron-donating dibutylamino group to the electron-accepting pyridinium moiety.
2018, Jacques Lalevée, Jean-Pierre Fouassier, Photopolymerisation Initiating Systems, pages 2-10Emission changes in dimethylamino and dibutylamino versions were determined following the grinding of powder samples.
