Abstract: 

In the present letter, we have report the changing optical properties of pseudoisocyanine J-aggregates formed in electrolyte aqueous solution under agglomeration. The more pronounced changes occur in the case of the luminescence characteristics, which reveal about 30% improvement. The main reason has been supposed to be avoiding of the exciton trapping by local defects due to the inter-aggregate excitonic excitations energy transfer within the agglomerate.

Keywords: 
J-aggregate, agglomerate, luminescence, exciton, pseudoisocyanine.
