Cyanine dyes derived from benzothiazole were first prepared by Hofmann, 1 but many years elapsed before the constitution of the com-pounds was elucidated. This was accomplished by Mills, 2who showed that when a mixture of benzothiazole ethiodide and 1-methylbenzothiazole ethiodide was heated in pyridine solution for several hours at 100, a mixture of dyes was produced. A yellowdye formed in a preponderating amount was proved to have structure I, whilst a purplish-red dye formed simultaneously had structure II. Mills applied the names “thiocyanine” and “carbothiocyanine” to com-pounds I and II, respectively, and compound II was later known as “thiocarbocyanine,’’3 but it is now generally recognized that the forms “thia-cyanine” and “thiacarbocyanine” are more in accordance with international nomenclature./\/s\
