Surface Modification of a Hydrogen-Bonded Pigment: A Fluorescence Spectroscopy Study.
The effect of hydrogen-bonding additives on the surface modification of a hydrogen-bonded organic pigment is studied using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Evidence for surface dissolution that occurs during the mixing of solids is presented. The spectral signatures of monomers and hydrogen-bonded aggregates of the pigment that are present on the surface of crystallites of the pigment are quite distinct, as revealed by fluorescence excitation and emission spectra.
