Delocalization and energy transfer of the molecular exciton of the J-aggregate of oxacyanine dye, N,N′-dioctadecyl-oxacyanine perchlorate (S9) in LB films have been examined. Fluorescence lifetime of the S9 J-aggregate (S9(J)) appears to be ca. 1/20 of the isolated S9 molecules (S9(M)), which suggests that the coherent size of the J-aggregate, N cohe , is about 22 at room temperature. Quenching of resonance fluorescence of S9(J) by thiacyanine dye, N,N′-dioctadecyl-thiacyanine perchlorate (S11) obeys the SternVolmer relation with a Stern-Volmer constant of 1.2 × 10 3 nm 2 molecules -1 at room temperature, which is responsible to the incoherent size N inco of about 2000. The rate constant of energy transfer k ET amounts to 1.5 × 10 13 nm 2 molecules -1 s -1 .
