Abstract

The molecular exciton model has received its most extensive development and application in the field of molecular crystals1'2. More recently, numerous applications to non-crystalline molecular composite systems have been made, including van der Waals and hydrogen-bonded dimers, trimers, and

  • According to the exciton model, when two rigid and planar π-conjugated molecules are confined in a crowded environment, their transition dipole moments start to interact strongly with each other.

    From The Pursuit of Shortwave Infrared-Emitting Nanoparticles with Bright Fluorescence through Molecular Design and Excited-State Engineering of Molecular Aggregates (2022) · cites this paper as [86]

    The “Dipole phase relation” section describes dimers of planar conjugated molecules, and the dimer energy-diagram discussion describes interactions between their transition dipoles (page numbers unavailable). The copy does not establish that the molecules must be rigid or confined in a crowded environment for strong interaction to begin. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
