A squaraine heterotriad consisting of three different covalently linked squaraine chromophores was synthesized, and its absorption spectra were interpreted in terms of Kasha's exciton coupling theory. Using the exciton couplings derived from model dyads (ca. 700 cm-1) as the input, we were able to predict the exciton state energies of the heterotriad. Transient absorption spectroscopy with femtosecond time resolution showed that excitation of the highest exciton state populates a state mainly localized at one terminal squaraine chromo
