Abstract Condensation of squaric acid with N-substituted Fischer base moieties containing electron-donating substituents gave only the semisquaraines. However, with salts possessing electronegative and electron-withdrawing groups, the squaraine dyes were isolated in good yields. The semisquaraines formed undergo condensation with other N-substituted Fischer base yielding the asymmetrical squaraine dyes. These results demonstrate the role of electronic factors and provide valuable information for the design of efficient squaraine-based sensitizers that can have potential applications in photodynamic therapy.
