The spectrum of C. I. Basic Blue 9 in dilute aqueous solution, where the aggregation is negligible, is characterized by a prominent sharp peak at 670mμ, called the monomer peak, and a small peak at 615mμ, called the dimer peak. With the increase in dye concentration, the extinction coefficient of the monomer peak diminishes and that of the dimer peak increases progressively. With increasing concentration of added urea, N, N'-dimethylurea, formamide or N, N-dimethylformamide, the monomer peak intensifies at the expense of the dimer absorption. These facts show that organic solvents decrease very efficiently the aggregation of the dye.
The thermodynamic functions of dye solution,
ΔF,
ΔH and
ΔS, and the differences of thermodynamic functions, δ
ΔF, δ
ΔH and δ
ΔS between the dye solution with and without urea, formamide or alcohol were calculated for the dimer stage, D
2_??_2D. The values of the former (
ΔF,
ΔH,
ΔS) were positive, while the latter (δ
ΔF, δ
ΔH, δ
ΔS) were negative. From these facts, it is obvious that the reversible aggregation of the dye, with and without urea, formamide or alcohol, is caused by an energetic situation.
