Abstract

The adsorption and aggregation of a cationic cyanine dye, 1,1'-diethyl-2,2'-cyanine (pseudoisocyanine; abbreviated as PIC), on various clays have been investigated. The PIC formed J-aggregates on Na-montmorillonite and synthetic Na-fluor-tetrasilicic mica (TSM), while they distributed molecularly on synthetic Na-saponite and synthetic Na-hectorites. The particle size of the clays was considered to be a dominant factor to control the aggregation of PIC. The J-aggregate formation was suppressed when tetramethylammonium-montmorillonite was employed as a host material. Ethylene glycol in the suspension was also responsible for the suppression of J-aggregate formation of PIC. Thus, the aggregation of PIC was effectively controlled by the species surrounding the PIC cations as well as the nature of clays. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
