Monolayer States of a Cyanine Dye Studied by a Spectroscopic Technique

Abstract

A single beam, single reflectance photometer for investigation of monolayers at the air water interface is described. A cyanine dye monolayer is studied. The molecular arrangements in different monolayer states are derived from the observation of the monomer-dimer equilibrium of the dye chromophores. © 1973, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.
