The dye was found to form a two-dimensional brick-wall structure separated by chloroform molecules in the solvated crystals, which exhibited intense red fluorescence. The absorption maximum of the solvate was also found to show a bathochromic spectral shift. These observed optical characteristics were interpreted in terms of excitonic intermolecular interaction based on two-dimensional brick-wall structure which is one of the proposed structures for J-aggregates., ©2017.
