31. An aqueous NaCl solution was used to prepare the dye solutions only for promoting J aggregation based on our previous studies (ref 20).
32. A similar sheetlike morphology of the J aggregates was observed at [TC] > ∼5 mM in the absence of NaCl. We believe that NaCl does not affect the characteristic sheetlike morphology of TC J aggregates at a relatively high dye concentration.

35. -1 (16.6 nm) corresponds to neither the third-order (20.8 nm) nor the fourth-order (15.6 nm) diffraction of the lamellar structure.
36. Despite some differences in the experimental conditions, our results (observation of lamellar structures of the J aggregates) obtained at [TC] ≥ 30 mM are qualitatively consistent with those obtained by Tiddy and co-workers.
