Abstract:<div>Cyanine dyes show a remarkable tendency to form non-covalent supramolecular aggregates with diverse morphologies (dimers, sheets, tubes and bundles). Specific molecular arrangements within these H- or J-aggregates dictate the extraordinary photophysical properties, including long-range exciton delocalization, extreme redshifts, and excitonic superradiance. Despite extensive literature on cyanine dye aggregates, design principles that drive the solution self-assembly to a preferred H- or J-ag… Show more
