Abstract

The dyes Nile Blue (C I Basic Blue 12) and Thionine (C I 52000) were examined in both ionic and neutral forms in different solvents using NMR and UV-visible spectroscopy to firmly establish the structures of the molecules and to assess the nature and extent of their aggregation H-1 and C-13 NMR assignments and chemical shift data were used together with nuclear Overhauser effect information to propose a self-assembly structure These data were supplemented with variable temperature dilution and diffusion-based experimental results using H-1 NMR spectroscopy thereby enabling extended aggregate structures to be assessed in terms of the relative strength of self-association and the extent to which extended aggregates could form (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
