Özet

Aggregation of the cationic dyes pyronin B (PyB) and pyronin Y (PyY) in aqueous solution containing anionic polyelectrolyte polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) has been studied by using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy techniques. Although H-aggregates of these pyronin dyes have been previously observed in colloidal suspension, this is the first report of their J-aggregates obtained as a function of dye concentration by using constant concentration of PSS in solution. The best dye concentrations for the J-aggregates were determined as 2.4 x 10(-5) M and 1.2 x 10(4) M for PyB and PyY, respectively. Moreover, aggregation equilibrium constants (K-D) and thermodynamic functions were determined as a function of temperature for H-type aggregation. By employing the exciton theory, angle (alpha) between the molecular transition dipole moments and the long aggregate axis, and the intermolecular distance (R) were also calculated for each dye aggregates. In addition, the fluorescence lifetime values were determined from fluorescence decay measurements for the monomer and aggregated species of pyronin compounds in polyelectrolyte aqueous solution.
