The synthesis of polyenes with 3 or 5 conjugated double bonds bearing alkylanthryl and alkylpyridinium terminal groups is described. Alkyl chains of suitable length were introduced in both the anthracene and/or pyridine moiety to reduce the solubility in water thus improving the ability to form Langmuir-Blodgett films.
