Assessing G4-Binding Ligands In Vitro and in Cellulo Using Dimeric Carbocyanine Dye Displacement Assay.

G-quadruplexes (G4) are the most actively studied non-canonical secondary structures formed by contiguous repeats of guanines in DNA or RNA strands. Small molecule mediated targeting of G-quadruplexes has emerged as an attractive tool for visualization and stabilization of these structures inside the cell. Limited number of DNA and RNA G4-selective assays have been reported for primary ligand screening. A combination of fluorescence spectroscopy, AFM, CD, PAGE, and confocal microscopy have been used to assess a dimeric carbocyanine dye B6,5 for screening G4-binding ligands in vitro and in cellulo. The dye B6,5 interacts with physiologically relevant DNA and RNA G4 structures, resulting in fluorescence enhancement of the molecule as an in vitro readout for G4 selectivity. Interaction of the dye with G4 is accompanied by quadruplex stabilization that extends its use in primary screening of G4 specific ligands. The molecule is cell permeable and enables visualization of quadruplex dominated cellular regions of nucleoli using confocal microscopy. The dye is displaced by quarfloxin in live cells. The dye B6,5 shows remarkable duplex to quadruplex selectivity in vitro along with ligand-like stabilization of DNA G4 structures. Cell permeability and response to RNA G4 structures project the dye with interesting theranostic potential. Our results validate that B6,5 can serve the dual purpose of visualization of DNA and RNA G4 structures and screening of G4 specific ligands, and adds to the limited number of probes with such potential.

Switching resonance character within merocyanine stacks and its impact on excited-state dynamics

Summary In this study, the optical properties and excited-state dynamics of the unique self-assembled donor-acceptor (DA) merocyanine dye stacks from dimer up to octamer, prepared via dipole-dipole interactions, are reported in terms of coherent exciton dynamics and formation of an excimer-like state. Our findings are based on the steady-state absorption/emission, time-resolved fluorescence, and transient absorption (anisotropy) measurements, including wavepacket analysis and quantum mechanical calculations. Coherent exciton of torsional motions-restricted dye stacks rapidly localizes into the weakly emissive excimer-like state, by shortening the inter-moiety distance and changing the bond-length alternation pattern. The inner merocyanine moiety, having two neighboring units, has a reversed resonance character (non-polar (N) Z) in the ground state. This difference has led to two conclusions: (1) tetramers and octamers exhibit different features of excimer-like state than the dimer, and (2) octamers exhibit slower localization dynamics due to the enhanced homogeneity (six inner-moieties) compared with tetramers (two inner moieties).

Triplet States of Cyanine Dye Dimers

The results of investigations of the properties of cyanine dye dimers in the triplet state are presented. The formation of dimers is demonstrated as two absorption bands of differing intensities, which are due to splitting of the S*-level of monomers as a result of their resonance interaction. The cyanine dye dimers are characterized by a relatively high quantum yield of the intersystem crossing. In the triplet-triplet absorption spectra two bands appear, where the long-wavelength band is assigned to a charge transfer state. The cyanine dye dimers in the triplet state are involved in the energy and electron transfer and can act as the photosensitizes of redox reactions.

Self-assembled heptamethine cyanine dye dimer as a novel theranostic drug delivery carrier for effective image-guided chemo-photothermal cancer therapy

Near-infrared (NIR)-induced dye-based theranostic drug delivery carriers are used for critical image-guided chemo-photothermal cancer therapy. However, most carriers fail to deliver sufficient heat and fluorescence efficiently due to direct π-π stacking of the aromatic rings of the NIR dye and drug. In the work reported herein, we examined a self-assembled heptamethine cyanine dye dimer (CyD) with improved heat and fluorescence delivery that was developed by manipulating the unique structural and optical properties of the dimer. The H-aggregation of CyD in an aqueous solution generated a great amount of heat by transforming the energy of the excited electrons into non-radiative energy. Moreover, the disulfide bond of CyD assisted nanoparticles with a drug by minimizing the interaction between the NIR dye and drug, and also by releasing the drug in a redox environment. As a result, DOX encapsulated within CyD (CyD/DOX) showed strong heat generation and fluorescence imaging in tumor-bearing mice, allowing detection of the tumor site and inhibition of tumor growth by chemo-photothermal therapy. The multiplicity of features supplied by the newly developed CyD demonstrated the potential of CyD/DOX as an NIR dye-based theranostic drug-delivery carrier for effective chemo-photothermal cancer therapy.

Exciton Interactions, Excimer Formation, and [2π+2π] Photodimerization in Nonconjugated Curcuminoid‐BF2 Dimers

We describe the synthesis of a series of covalently-linked dimers of quadrupolar curcuminoid-BF2 dyes and the detailed investigation of their solvent-dependent spectroscopic and photophysical properties. In solvents of low polarity, intramolecular folding induces the formation of aggregated chromophores whose UV-Vis absorption spectra display the optical signature characteristic of weakly-coupled H-aggregates. The extent of folding and, in turn, of ground state aggregation is strongly dependent on the nature of the flexible linker. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence emission spectroscopies show that the Frenkel exciton relaxes into a fluorescent symmetrical excimer state with a long lifetime. Furthermore, our in-depth studies show that a weakly-emitting excimer lies on the pathway toward a photocyclomer. Two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory (DFT) allowed establishing the structure of the photoproduct. To our knowledge, this represents the first example of a [2π+2π] photodimerization of the curcuminoid chromophore.

Aggregation Effects on Pigment Coatings: Pigment Red 179 as a Case Study.

Here, we have studied, with a combined experimental and computational approach, the effect of the crystal environment and aggregation on the electronic properties of Pigment Red 179, which affect both its color and optical energy gap. Spectra acquired in the near-infrared and visible range of energies suggest that this molecule is indeed a “cool” dye, which can be employed as a red pigment that provides effective color coverage to different substrates without contributing to their heating during light irradiation. Spectra acquired on different polymer mixtures at different pigment concentrations (i.e., 2.5–10 wt %) suggest that absorption features depend on chromophoric arrangements promoted by the strong intermolecular π–π interactions. Calculations, performed at the time-dependent density functional theory level, allowed to both attribute the nature of the electronic transitions causing the observed spectra involved and understand the effect of the environment. Indeed, the visible spectra of the pigment is dominated by two localized transitions, with negligible charge transfer for both a dye monomer and dimer either in vacuum or acetonitrile solution. Instead, models including the crystal environment of the pigment show the presence of a high-wavelength S1 ← S0 charge transfer transition between two adjacent molecules, in quantitative agreement with the experimental absorption energy of the crystal pigment.

Spectral-fluorescent study of the interaction of polymethine dye probes with biological surfactants - bile salts.

Spectral-fluorescent properties of polymethine dye probes anionic 3,3'-di(sulfopropyl)-4,5,4',5'-dibenzo-9-ethylthiacarbocyanine-betaine (DEC) and cationic 3,3',9-trimethylthiacarbocyanine iodide (Cyan 2) in the presence of biological surfactants, bile salts sodium cholate (NaC), sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) and sodium taurocholate (NaTC), as well as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), have been studied in a wide range of surfactant concentrations. When a surfactant is introduced into a solution of DEC, changes of the spectral-fluorescent properties are observed due to decomposition of dye dimers into cis-monomers and cis-trans conversion of the resulting monomers. In the presence of SDS, both processes occur in parallel, caused by noncovalent interaction of dye monomers with micelles, and mainly occur near the critical micelle concentration (CMC). In contrast, upon the introduction of increasing concentrations of bile salts, decomposition of dye dimers into the monomers begins at lower concentrations than cis-trans conversion. The former process is almost completed at concentrations close to CMC of secondary micelles (CMC2), while the latter process occurs even at concentrations of bile salts much higher than CMC2. Hence, DEC can serve as a probe that permits estimating the value of CMC2 and is indicative of reorganization of secondary micelles upon an increase in bile salt concentration. Aggregation of DEC and Cyan 2 on bile salts is also observed. Since it is observed at relatively low concentrations of bile salts (<CMC2), the aggregation probably occurs on monomeric molecules of bile salts and their small associates and primary micelles. Decomposition of the aggregates formed begins at concentrations of bile salts above CMC2 (that is, upon the interaction with secondary micelles).

Interaction of a dimeric carbocyanine dye aggregate with bovine serum albumin in non-aggregated and aggregated forms.

The interaction of fluorescent dyes with serum proteins has garnered significant interest owing to potential for non-covalent labeling and imaging applications. In this work, dimeric benzothiazole-based trimethine cyanine dyes are synthesized and their interaction with bovine serum albumin studied. The dimeric cyanine dyes mainly exist as H-dimers and H-aggregates in aqueous solution. A combination of absorbance, fluorescence, circular dichroism spectroscopy and atomic force and fluorescence microscopy indicate the formation of dye-BSA complexes. Binding of one of the dimeric dyes on BSA with a Ka of 1.49×105M-1 results in disruption of dye self-aggregates and unfolding of the dyes into the monomeric or open conformation. Fluorescence enhancement experienced by the dimeric dyes upon interaction with BSA is superior to that registered by Thioflavin T. Surfactant SDS has been used to further tune the self-aggregation of the dimeric dye resulting in a 200-fold fluorescence enhancement in presence of BSA. Interaction of a dimeric dye with BSA under conditions favoring protein aggregation is found to result in faster dye binding and the resulting fluorescence enhancement is easily visualized by fluorescence microscopy. The interaction of a dimeric cyanine dye aggregate with BSA is promising for non-covalent labeling applications in sharp contrast to the monomeric dye counterpart.

Homo- and Heterodimeric Dyes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: Panchromatic Light Absorption and Modulated Open Circuit Potential.

The design of dyes for panchromatic light absorption has attracted much attention in the field of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). An approach to enhance panchromatic light absorption utilizes mixtures of complementary light-absorbing dyes as well as dyes with specific anchoring groups that facilitate interfacial charge transfer with TiO2 . Dipole-dipole interactions between the dye molecules on the surface broaden the spectrum, which results in decreased DSSC device performance. However, controlled aggregation of dyes results in broadening the spectral profile along with enhanced photocurrent generation. To control the dye-dye interaction, dimeric dyes with different dipole lengths D1 -Dsq , Dsq -Dsq were systematically designed and synthesized. The photophysical and electrochemical properties were evaluated and the EHOMO and ELUMO levels were determined; these energy levels determines the electron injection from ELUMO of the dye to ECB of TiO2 and regeneration of oxidized dye by the electrolyte, respectively. The absorption spectra of Dsq -Dsq , D1 -Dsq were broadened in solution compared to model dye Dsq ; this indicates that the dye-dye interaction is prominent in solution. In D1 -Dsq excitation energy transfer between photoexcited D1 and Dsq was explained by using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). The homodimeric dye showed a device performace of 2.8 % (Voc 0.607, Jsc 6.62 mA/cm2 , ff 69.3 %),whereas the heterodimeric dye D1 -Dsq showed a device performance of 3.9 % (Voc 0.652 V, Jsc 8.89 mA/cm2 , ff 68.8 %). The increased photocurrent for D1 -Dsq is due to the panchromatic IPCE response compared to Dsq -Dsq . The increased Voc is due to the effective passivation of the TiO2 surface by the spirolinker, and the effective dipole moment that shifts the conduction band on TiO2 . Hence, the open circuit potential, Voc , for the devices prepared from Dsq , D1 -Dsq and Dsq -Dsq were systematically modulated by controlling the intermolecular π-π and intramolecular dipole-dipole interactions of the dimeric dyes.

Designing and fabrication of phenothiazine and carbazole based sensitizers for photocatalytic water splitting application

In the present work, we have designed and synthesized two carbazole and phenothiazine donor moieties based metal-free organic sensitizers and their codes are WCBZ2 and WPTZ2 respectively. These sensitizers have been used for photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evaluation application. The sensitizers exhibit good light absorption capability and electrochemical properties as well. For increasing water splitting capacity, incorporate platinum salt on TiO2 semiconductor photoanode was performed and compared hydrogen evolution with pure TiO2 photoanode. We have also studied the influence of the sensitizer's concentration and the effect of pH of the medium was explored. Using a theoretical measurement optimized both the synthesized dimer dyes structure geometry and the calculated their HOMO-LUMO energy level. Here also reported optimized pH and concentration of sensitizers in the reaction medium and found that the high hydrogen generation efficiency from water splitting is 138.3 μmol (348 TONs) by the WPTZ2 dye.

Dimerised heterobifunctional reactive dyes. Part 1: characterisation using quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry

As part of an approach to enhancing the efficiency of reactive dye adsorption on cellulosic fibres at low electrolyte levels, commercially available dyes were dimerised using hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) as a linking group. A key component of this work involved using high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) to characterise a group of polysulphonated heterobifunctional monochlorotriazine/vinyl sulphone reactive dyes (CI Reactive Yellow 176, CI Reactive Red 239, CI Reactive Blue 221, CI Reactive Red 194 and CI Reactive Blue 222) and their dimeric analogs. In this respect, dimeric dye ions of differently charged states were observed using HRMS‐negative electrospray ionisation in combination with quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry. For example, HRMS showed that the HMDA‐linked reaction products were mixtures of the target (unhydrolysed) dimers, hydrolysed dimers, monoreacted products and hydrolysed unreacted dyes, with CI Reactive Yellow 176 and CI Reactive Red 194 producing the desired unhydrolysed dimers.

On the [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of configurationally locked polyenes – An experimental and theoretical study

This paper provides experimental and theoretical study of reaction of [2 + 2] cycloaddition of substituted α–unsaturated isophorone dyes, involving high resolution electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) analysis in solution and in gas–phase (GP) of substituted 3-[2-(X-substituted-phenyl)-vinyl]-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2-enone and configurationally locked polyenes (CLP). The ab initio and density functional theoretical (DFT) examining provides information about molecular geometry, thermodynamics, kinetics and ionization potentials of sixty six isomers of dimeric dyes, including corresponding cis-anti-cis and cis-syn-cis head-to-tail and head-to-head forms. The comparative collision induced dissociation (CID) or collision activated MS and theoretical analyses carried out bring light into the mechanisms of competitive dimerization within the frame of 3-[2-(X-substituted-phenyl)-vinyl]-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2-enone; molecular and environmental factors governing regioselectivity of reaction. The analyses involve both qualitative and quantitative kinetics and thermodynamics of experimental MS data along with corresponding theoretical examining of CLP dimers. As far as 3-[2-(X-substituted-phenyl)-vinyl]-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2-enone and CLP dyes have already found an industrial scale application as non-linear optical materials (NLO) for THz wave generation and detection as well as pharmaceutics for treatment of and preventing of neurodegenerative diseases, this study has a strong transdisciplinary impact to many research fields as well as to still not well understood, but crucial to fields of organic synthesis and catalysis, molecular level fundamentals of chemical reactivity in gas– and condense phases. Following the latter lines of contributions of the work, we might hopefully expect that the prospective highlighted in this study should inspired further research effort devoted to correlative quantitative thermodynamic and kinetic CID mass spectrometric and quantum chemical analyses, which allow to improve the reaction effectiveness depending on the complexity of the wanted CLP scaffolds.

Symmetry-Breaking Charge Transfer in Boron Dipyridylmethene (DIPYR) Dimers

We recently reported the photophysical properties of boron dipyridylmethene (DIPYR) dyes, a class of intensely fluorescent pyridine-based chromophores, which are structural analogues of both acenes and BODIPYs. In this work, we endeavored to explore the properties of DIPYR dimers. The synthesis and characterization of two novel homoleptic meso-linked dimers of boron dipyridylmethene dyes, bis-DIPYR and bis-α-DIPYR, are herein reported. Their structural, electrochemical, and photophysical properties have been probed using both steady-state and time-resolved techniques including femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopies. Of particular focus are the excited-state photophysical dynamics of the dimers, which are studied in several solvents of varying polarity, from methylcyclohexane to acetonitrile. It was found that both dimers undergo symmetry-breaking charge transfer within 3 ps of photoexcitation, forming a radical anion and radical cation, which were observed using transient absorptio...

Novel Trimethine Cyanine Dye as Potential Amyloid Marker

The applicability of the novel cyanine dye AK 3-1 to the detection and characterization of pathogenic protein aggregates, amyloid fibrils, was tested using the absorption spectroscopy technique. In an organic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), absorption spectra of AK3-1 exhibits vibrational structure with the relative intensity of 0-0 sub-band being higher than that for the 0-1 sub-band. In an aqueous phase the dye absorption band undergoes hypsochromic shift relative to DMSO due to H-aggregation of the dye. The interaction of AK3-1 with the native and fibrillar insulin was followed by the decrease of monomer band and the enhancement of H-dimer band. To evaluate the relative contributions of the monomeric and aggregated forms, the absorption spectra of the protein-bound dye were deconvoluted using the asymmetric log-normal (LN) function. The analysis of the set of fitting parameters provides evidence for the protein-induced AK3-1 self-association into the head-to-head dimers, with the magnitude of this effect being much more pronounced for fibrillar protein form. The molecular docking studies showed that the AK3-1 monomer tends to associate with the specific arrangement of side chains in the β-sheet formed by L17 leucine residues (of the insulin B-chain), located on the dry steric zipper interface of the fibril, while the dye dimers form stable complexes with the amyloid groove formed by the residues Q15 and E17 of the A-chain, and located on the wet interface of the fibril. The latter binding site is more easily accessible and is additionally stabilized by the electrostatic interactions between the positively charged dye and the E17 residue. This binding mode seems to be prevailing over that for the AK3-1 monomers. Based on the results obtained, AK3-1 may be recommended as a prospective amyloid marker complementary to the classical amyloid reporters Thioflavin T and Congo Red.

Template‐Free Self‐Assembly of Dimeric Dicarbocyanine Dyes

AbstractSymmetrical dicarbocyanine dyes are known to cooperatively assemble on DNA templates. With the goal of developing dyes that are capable of template‐free self‐assembly, two N‐linked dimeric benzothiazole containing pentamethine cyanine dyes have been synthesized. UV‐visible spectroscopy of the dimeric dyes reveals very strong propensities for self‐assembly unlike their monomeric dye counterparts. The N‐propyl linked dye exhibits pronounced H‐aggregation at micromolar dye concentrations with the absorption maxima blue‐shifted by nearly 200 nm. In contrast, an N‐hexyl linked dye preferentially folds into H‐dimers. Similar aggregates of the monomeric dicarbocyanine dyes are known to be observed at much higher dye concentrations or in presence of suitable templates such as DNA molecules. The aggregate species of the dimeric dyes are identified based on shifts in their absorbance maxima and quenched fluorescence. The calculated electronic structure of the dimeric dyes supports their observed aggregation behaviour. Further, introduction of DNA molecules with AT‐tracts leads to transformation of the spontaneously formed dimeric dye H‐aggregates and H‐dimers into DNA‐bound dye species.

Impact of substitution and self-aggregation on photoelectric and charge transfer characteristics in JD21 analogues

In addition to π-linkages and acceptors, the nature of donor moiety plays a vital role in tuning organic dye performance. Here, to assess the substitution effect of peripheral groups in donor moiety, two electron-donating and two electron-withdrawing groups are, respectively, introduced in the ullazine ring of JD21. It is shown that the introduction of trifluoromethyl group in JD-dye (JD21-CF3) keeps the system to be of both the comparable light-harvesting and anti-aggregation ability to the original JD21 dye. It is regarded as a potentially efficient strategy to prepare JD-dyes or even other organic dyes. Additionally, the investigation on adsorbed dimeric dyes reveals that the electronic distribution with the highest occupied molecular orbital localizing on one dye molecule and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital localizing on the TiO2 nanoparticle in the H-2-slip@TiO2 or F-2-slip@TiO2 configuration suggesting a weaker electronic coupling between two dyes. This type of adsorbed configuration with both dye dissociation is thus proposed to be dominant in an optimal solar cell based on the corresponding photoelectric characteristics. Our results clearly show a dependency of the dye performance on substituent groups.

Orthogonally Functionalized Donor/Acceptor Homo- and Heterodimeric Dyes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: An Approach to Introduce Panchromaticity and Control the Charge Recombination.

Organic dyes possessing conjugated π-framework forms closely packed monolayers on photoanode in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), because of the limitation to control the orientation and the extend of intermolecular π-π interaction, self-aggregation of dyes leads to reduced cell performance. In this report, a series of homodimeric (D1-D1 and D2-D2) and heterodimeric (D1-D2 and D2-D4) donor/acceptor (D/A) dyes containing spiroBiProDOT π-spacer were designed and synthesized by utilizing Pd-catalyzed direct arylation reaction and correlates the device performance with monomeric dyes (D1 and D2). Both the thiophenes (π-spacer) of spiroBiProDOT were functionalized with same or different donor groups which led to homodimeric and heterodimeric chromophores in a single sensitizer. The homodimeric spiro-dye D1-D1 showed higher power conversion efficiency (PCE), of 7.6% with a Voc and Jsc of 0.672 V and 16.16 mA/cm2, respectively. On the other hand, the monomeric D1 exhibited a PCE of 3.2% (Voc of 0.64 V and Jsc of 7.2 mA/cm2), which is lower by 2.4 fold compared to dimeric analogue. The spiro-unit provides flexibility between the incorporated chromophores to orient on TiO2 due to four sp3-centers, which arrest the molecular motions after chemisorption. This study shows a new molecular approach to incorporate two chromophores in the dimeric dye possessing complementary absorption characteristics toward panchromatic absorption. The attenuated charge recombination at TiO2/Dye/redox couple interface in case of D1-D1, owing to better passivation of TiO2 surface, was elucidated through impedance analysis. The FT-IR spectrum of D1-D1 adsorbed on TiO2 film indicated both the carboxylic units were involved in chemisorption which makes strong coupling between dye and TiO2.

Ensemble and Single Particle Fluorescence Characterization of Dye-Labeled Cellulose Nanocrystals.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have been covalently labeled with both fluorescein and rhodamine and studied by a combination of UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and ensemble and single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy. For all samples, the fluorescence anisotropy and lifetimes were consistent with effects expected for covalently bound dye molecules. Low dye loading levels (∼0.1 dye/particle) were estimated for the fluorescein-labeled CNC which coupled with the strong pH dependence make this a less suitable fluorophore for most applications. Rhodamine-labeled CNCs were prepared from both sulfated and carboxylated CNCs and had loading levels that varied from 0.25 to ∼15 dye molecules/CNC. For the sulfated samples, the absorption due to (nonfluorescent) dimeric dye increased with dye loading; in contrast, the carboxylated sample, which had the highest rhodamine content, had a low dimer yield. Single particle fluorescence studies for two of the rhodamine-labeled CNCs demonstrated that individual particles are readily detected by their stepwise blinking/bleaching behavior and by polarization effects. Overall, the results indicate the importance of understanding the effects of loading on dye photophysics to select an optimal dye concentration to maximize sensitivity while minimizing the effect of the dye on the CNC behavior. The results also demonstrate that CNCs with relatively low dye loadings (e.g., ∼1 dye/particle) are readily detectable by fluorescence and should be adequate for use in fluorescence-based biological assays or to probe the distribution of CNCs in composite materials.

Thioflavin T fluoresces as excimer in highly concentrated aqueous solutions and as monomer being incorporated in amyloid fibrils

Fluorescence of thioflavin T (ThT) is a proven tool for amyloid fibrils study. The correct model of ThT binding to fibrils is crucial to clarify amyloid fibrils structure and mechanism of their formation. Although there are convincing evidences that ThT has molecular rotor nature, implying it’s binding to fibrils in monomer form, speculations concerning ThT binding to fibrils in aggregated forms appear in literature so far. The elaborated approach for fluorescence intensity correction on the inner filter effects applied to ThT aqueous solutions with a wide range of concentration allowed characterizing ThT excimers fluorescence and showing its difference from that of ThT bound to fibrils. Obtained results experimentally prove the monomer model of ThT binding to amyloid fibrils and demonstrate wide capacity of the used approach in the spectroscopy of other fluorescent dyes for examination of concentration self-quenching and deformation of fluorescence spectra, dye molecules interaction, dimers and excimers formation.
