Organic dyes that are covalently bonded multimers or higher order symmetrical structures where one or more dye units may optionally contain deuterium substitutions are disclosed. The disclosed dyes are particularly useful for optical coatings, new optical nanomaterials, high density storage devices. The structural and optical characteristics of the disclosed dyes provide avenues for increased information-content through surface-enhanced Raman resonance spectroscopy.

Higher order structured dyes with enhanced optical features

The present disclosure provides isotopically substituted compounds of the formula (II): wherein T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, R, R, R, Rand Rare as defined in the detailed description. The method for detection and quantification using the same is also disclosed.
