Y. Hirano et al., FORMATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF H-LIKE BAND IN MEROCYANINE DYE LB FILMS, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 294, 1997, pp. 161-164
The merocyanine-arachidic acid mixed LB films have been found to exhib
it H-like band whose absorbance maximum is blue-shifted from that of m
onomer band. It is indicated that alkane molecules added to the mixed
system induces the formation of H-like band.
