The unprecedented J-aggregate formation of rhodamine moieties induced by 9-phenylanthracenyl substitution

Abstract

We report a substitution of 9-phenylanthracenyl group into rhodamine derivatives that can induce the J-aggregate formation of rhodamine moieties in the aqueous solution upon the addition of a halide ion. From X-ray crystallographic analysis, the dramatic red-shift in the absorption band (i.e. app. 100 nm) originates from the cooperative slipped-stacking of rhodamine and anthracene molecules.
