25. Interestingly, at a 1:1 surfactant:polymer ratio, a bright red precipitate forms: the highly stable and fluorescent compound, once isolated and dried, is soluble in organic solvents but water insoluble.
26. The RLS was conducted on a fluorimeter with right-angle configuration. The detection of scattered light at the absorption maximum is attributable to large molecular associates; the scattering changes with the square of the volume.
