Abstract

The formation of J-aggregate of tetrakis-( 4-sulphonato-phenyl) porphine dianion is facilitated by cationic surfactants at extremely low concentrations. The stoichiometric ratio of porphyrin and surfactant in the J-aggregate is 1: 2. The efficiency of aggregation is controlled by the length of the alkyl chain of the surfactant. The J-aggregate is stable in thin polyvinyl alcohol films.
