The curvature of the plot (Figure 1 c, inset) at high eosin concentrations can be related to the fact that each dendrimer can host more than one eosin molecule, so that even at relatively high [eosin]:[1] ratios, there are still some "empty" dendrimers, which is in agreement with the unquenched fluorescence lifetime.
