Formation of J-aggregates of Thiamonomethincyanine Dyes in the Presence of CdTe Nanoparticles

Abstract

The conditions of formation of J-aggregates for three types of thiamonomethincyanine dyes, whose structure is differed by end groups, are studied depending on their concentration and type of interaction with CdTe nanoparticles with size of about 3 nm in aqueous dispersions. The influence of dye structure on the efficiency of formation of J-aggregates in solutions and in films was found. It was found that quantum dots (QDs) of CdTe stabilized by thioglycolic acid can adsorb J-aggregates of the dye molecules on their surface. It was shown for the first time that the hybrid structure of dye-CdTe can be formed through the interaction of negatively charged dye molecules and negatively charged surface of the QDs through the formation of neutral aggregates. It was not found any processes of energy transfer from dye to the particles of CdTe neither for the dimer - CdTe system nor for the J-aggregates – CdTe system.
