Nonradiative relaxation of thiacarbocyanine dyes in binary mixtures.
It was found that preferential solvation of cyanine dyes in binary mixtures can strongly affect both their isomerization and aggregation; the comparison of absorption and fluorescence excitation spectra might be a useful tool for studying these nonradiative processes.
