Chrompphores that can electronically interact with each other forming "pseudoexcimers" exist in two possible states: When isolated from each other they are referred to as unimers while aggregated dimeric complexes displaying pseudo-exciton interactions are labeled H-dimers. In contrast, the term monomer is used for defining single molecule compounds, i.e., nonpolymeric chemical structures.
