Coherent exciton delocalization in dye aggregate systems gives rise to a variety of intriguing optical phenomena, including J- and H-aggregate behavior and Davydov splitting. Systems that exhibit coherent exciton delocalization at room temperature are of interest for the development of artificial light-harvesting devices, colorimetric detection schemes, and quantum computers. Here, we report on a simple dye system templated by DNA that exhibits tunable optical properties. At low salt and DNA concentrations, a DNA duplex with two internally functionalized Cy5 dyes (i.e., dimer) persists and displays predominantly J-aggregate behavior. Increasing the salt and/or DNA concentrations was found to promote coupling between two of the DNA duplexes via branch migration, thus forming a four-armed junction (i.e., tetramer) with H-aggregate behavior. This H-tetramer aggregate exhibits a surprisingly large Davydov splitting in its absorbance spectrum that produces a visible color change of the solution from cyan to violet and gives clear evidence of coherent exciton delocalization.

两国DNA模板染料聚集系统中的相干激子离域。

染料聚集体系统中相干激子的离域化引起了许多有趣的光学现象,包括J和H聚集体行为和Davydov分裂。在室温下表现出相干激子离域的系统对于开发人造光收集设备,比色检测方案和量子计算机很感兴趣。在这里,我们报告由DNA模板化的简单染料系统,该染料系统显示出可调的光学特性。在低盐和DNA浓度下,带有两种内部功能化Cy5染料(即二聚体)的DNA双链体仍然存在,并且主要表现为J聚集行为。发现增加盐和/或DNA浓度可通过分支迁移促进两​​个DNA双链体之间的偶联,从而形成具有H-聚集行为的四臂连接(即,四聚体)。
