Gk. Chudinova et Va. Barachevskii, SPECTRAL STUDY OF THE AGGREGATION OF BENZOTHIAZOLIC CYANINE DYES IN SOLUTIONS AND POLYMOLECULAR LAYERS, Russian chemical bulletin, 44(1), 1995, pp. 91-94
The formation of J-aggregates of three polymethine dyes in solutions a
nd in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) polylayers was studied. The dyes form J-a
ggregates in mixtures of solvents of different polarity: hexane-chloro
form and heptane-chloroform taken in various ratios. The formation of
J-aggregates in LB polylayers depends on the type of matrix and on the
matrix : dye ratio.
