Influence of Substituents on the Vectorial Difference Static Dipole Upon Excitation in Synthetic Bacteriochlorins.

Organic dye aggregates have been shown to exhibit exciton delocalization in natural and synthetic systems. Such dye aggregates show promise in the emerging area of quantum information science (QIS). We believe that the difference in static dipole (Δ) is an essential dye parameter in the development of molecular QIS systems.
