Abstract: The conformational features of polymethine dyes and related compounds are examined and the principal factors controlled by the conformational equilibrium are identified. The methods for the determination of the geometrical structures of polymethines are discussed. Special attention is devoted to a new method for the determination of their conformations – from the absorption spectra of dyes with two chromophores.
