Molecular Interactions between Methylene Blue and Sodium Alginate Studied by Molecular Orbital Calculations

A methylene blue (MB) indicator embedded in sodium alginate (SA) film was previously examined for detecting active oxygen species. In a previous study, spectrometry was used to identify and characterize the MB/SA complex. However, the decolorization mechanism was not fully assessed. In this study, o...
