Induced Optical Chirality of Porphyrin J-Aggregates with 2-Alkyl Alcohol in a Microemulsion System
The J-aggregates of the diprotonated tetraphenylporphin formed in the o/w microemulsions including 2-alkyl alcohol, Triton X-100, toluene, and sulfuric acid, exhibited an induced circular dichroism (ICD) spectra corresponding to the chirality of the alcohol. The ICD intensity remarkably depended on the concentrations of Triton X-100 and sulfuric acid as well as 2-alkyl alcohol. The results suggested the nonstoichiometric formation of the chiral conformation of the nano-J-aggregates in the microemulsion droplets.
