Bulk results and question
Questions
Can we use the anisotropy phase change in solution sample to check the results? film?
why the 60% ethanol chloroform mixture would have absorption in long range, but the change is not linear, why?
might caused by the conformation of liquid crystal

why the conformation is a relative stable? why it does not change by shaking? if it is caused by different distance? then, what is the repulsion of the chain comes from???
If measure the average molecular size in the solvent, it might increase then decrease again.
the spectrum comparison between cryogenic and room temperature on MeTHF and Chloroform is different, it seems that it barely show J aggregate form under 400 nm excitation or chloroform situation
why the film with similar spectrum as hexane dissolved sample show super short lifetime that even shorter than the solvent situation?
similar to the lifetime trend in P3HT
It may from efficient(ultrafast) interchain exciton dissociation with eventual contribution of singlet-singlet annhilation.
Alternatively, aggergates could provide phonon modes capable of substantially increasing internal conversion, which cause the strong fluorescence quenching in film. (something as twistng motion of the molecular chain)
