22. +-DFHTM complex. We also note that assembly of this layer resulted in no detectable dye desorption/degradation, as confirmed by steady-state absorption spectroscopy.
23. Steady-state absorption spectroscopy was employed to determine the extinction coefficient (e) of the DFHTM at 407 nm. This extinction coefficient was calculated using the Beer-Lambert law.
