A novel and general method for the synthesis of H-aggregates is presented. H-aggregates can be precipitated from solutions of cyanine dyes in nanostructured [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) template films. H-aggregates synthesized that way have a narrow line shape width comparable to the smallest H-bands reported for thin films so far. We demonstrate that H-aggregates can be induced in different cyanine dyes (trimethine-, pentamethine- and heptamethine dyes). Aggregation follows a universal pathway, the concentration dependence of aggregation for different dyes can be scaled to fall onto one master curve. According to our model, H-aggregates have the form of 3D-crystals that form within cavities of the template. The template substrate is fabricated by means of a phase separation process of PCBM with a specific cyanine dye and consecutive selective dissolution of the dye. The dimensions of the template cavities have a major influence on aggregation.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
