Popis: A novel squarylium dye possessing donor–π–acceptor structure that features a fixed imine phenyl ring as an electron donor and 3,4-dihydroxycyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione moiety as an electron acceptor was synthesized. The structure of the dye was elucidated by means of NMR and IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The compound was studied using steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy, as well as the time-resolved spectroscopy. The measurements were carried out in solvents of different polarity. The dye absorbs in the visible light region about 400 nm and emits light with low fluorescence quantum yield, below 1 × 10 −3 M. An increases polarity of solvent results in a blue-shift of absorption band and red-shift of emission band, respectively. The rate constants of radiative and non-radiative deactivation of excited state depend on the viscosity of solvent used. The bimolecular quenching of excited singlet state of squaraine depends on the rate of diffusion process.
