Abstract

Optical properties of 11 donor-acceptor dyes based on pyridinium-indole, pyridinium-indolizine, isoquinolinium-indole, and isoquinolinium-indolizine motifs developed for RNA imaging are investigated using high-level quantum chemistry methods and semiempirical Hückel's model. The goal of this study is 3-fold: (i) to develop and benchmark computational protocols that can be used for computational design and screening of novel dyes; (ii) to explain the trends in optical properties of the model dyes in terms of underlying charge distributions and connectivity; and (iii) to propose a strategy for tuning their optical properties by structural modifications. We also present the results for a new dye designed to have red-shifted absorption and emission.
