Structural and quantum chemical analysis of exciton coupling in homo- and heteroaggregate stacks of merocyanines

Exciton coupling is of fundamental importance and determines functional properties of organic dyes in (opto-)electronic and photovoltaic devices. Here we show that strong exciton coupling is not limited to the situation of equal chromophores as often assumed. Quadruple dye stacks were obtained from...
