Study of aggregation of the 2', 7'-dichlorofluorescein dye caused by the intermolecular hydrogen bond

Abstract

The project's main objective is to study the aggregation of the 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein dye molecule through intermolecular hydrogen bonding in various solvents. With two chromophores perpendicular to each other, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein likely demonstrate J-aggregate and H-aggregate simultaneously. The present project is expected to provide some insights in the knowledge-based molecular design to improve device performance for optoelectronic applications.
