54. Such extremely low CGC values in aromatic solvents could be attributed to the favourable π-π interactions among the π cloud of the solvent molecules with that of the DAN-U chromophore. Please note that this could be possible because in the J aggregate the chromophores stack with longitudinal displacement along the long axis and thus part of the π cloud remains exposed to interact with the solvent molecules.
