Abstract
By combination of two types of interactions—self-association of organic dyes and hydrophobic interactions of long alkyl groups—chiral supramolecular systems are formed from achiral substances. Both the observed circular dichroism and the Davydov splitting in the absorption spectrum of the chiral J-aggregates suggest a twisted herringbone-type structure like that shown on the right.
