Molecular Organization Induced Anisotropic Properties of Perylene – Silica Hybrid Nanoparticles

Abstract Optically active silica nanoparticles are interesting owing to high stability and easy accessibility. Unlike previous reports on dye loaded silica particles, here we address an important question on how optical properties are dependent on the aggregation-induced segregation of perylene mole...
