Negative photochromism of a blue cyanine dye

Abstract

We found a novel blue cyanine dye that exhibits negative photochromism. Upon photoexcitation of the dye solution, the blue colour visibly disappeared, and after several hours the absorbance of the solution recovered completely, indicating that the dye has high stability.
