Control of H-dimer formation of acridine orange using nano clay platelets.
Acridine orange (AO) forms dimer even in aqueous solution. In layer-by-layer (LbL) film of AO dimeric sites predominate over monomeric sites. This communication reports the control of H-dimer of AO in LbL film by incorporating nano clay platelets. This was studied by using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopic (AFM) image of the LbL film was taken to confirm the presence of nano clay platelets in the LbL film.
