[Investigation of aggregates of dyes by the method of resonance light scattering: correction of spectra].
Resonance light scattering, a phenomenon of an abrupt enhancement of Rayleigh light scattering in close proximity to an absorption band, is easily detectable in solutions of strongly absorbing chromophores, which form large aggregates with strong pi-pi-electronic coupling among the chromophores. Resonance light scattering spectra need to be corrected for the sensitivity of spectrofluorimeter as well as for the effects of internal light filter. A method for correcting the measured resonance light scattering is described. It was shown by the method that the addition of KCl induces the formation of extended supramolecular aggregates (probably of H-type) of the anionic dye merocyanine 540 in water. The spectra of the resonance light scattering of the photosensitizer meta-tetra(hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC, foscan ) indicate the formation of J-aggregates of this dye in aqueous medium.
