J-aggregates of amphiphilic cyanine dyes: Self-organization of artificial light harvesting complexes
The simultaneous chemical linkage of cyanine dye chromophores with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substituents leads to a new type of amphiphilic molecules with the ability of spontaneous self-organization into highly ordered aggregates of various structures and morphologies. These aggregates car...
