The development of cheap and reliable time-temperature indicators (TTIs) can greatly improve customer satisfaction with respect to the correct handling and storage of perishable goods. A series of new irreversible thermochromic squaraine dyes enables the preparation of simple TTIs whose time-temperature regime can be controlled by selection of the appropriate molecule/substrate combinations.
