46. 5 (at 8.04 and 6.68 ppm, respectively) and their decrease with time if kept in the dark (the signal intensities roughly halved in a couple of weeks). UV-vis spectroscopic measurements (see section 4.2.1) were therefore performed taking care to minimize the exposure of the samples to ambient light.

57. 3 should be considered with due caution, in view of the slight difference between the studied merocyanines as well as the occurrence of a conformational equilibrium in our samples.
