Croconaines are an emerging class of near-infrared dyes that are useful for various sensing, photothermal, optoelectronic, and photoacoustic applications. Previous work encapsulated a dumbbell-shaped croconaine dye whose structure contains two thiophene flanking units inside a tetralactam macrocycle and produced a croconaine rotaxane <b>1</b> with a narrow 824 nm absorption band. Herein, a new rotaxane <b>2</b> is reported that encapsulates a croconaine dye with two thienothiophene flanking unit ...[more]
