Abstract

UV-visible spectral observations indicate that the J-aggregation of protonated meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin ([H2TSPP] 2+) under acidic conditions is completely inhibited by the π-π counteraction between 1-butyl-pyridinium tetrafluoroborate ([bpy]BF4) and [H2TSPP]2+. The studies also suggest that the intermolecular π-π force is of relative importance for the J-aggregates of [H2TSPP]2+ and the intermolecular electrostatic force for the H-aggregates.
