- Abstract
Based on our studies on biphasic self‐assembly behavior of an amphiphilic BF2‐azadipyrromethene (aza‐BODIPY) dye 1, a new analytical model to quantitatively describe the thermodynamic properties of the aggregation involving two competing supramolecular polymerization processes is proposed. In this model, the formation of the metastable as well as the thermodynamically stable aggregates was considered to follow a nucleated polymerization mechanism. The numerical calculation based on the new model gives insight into the formation of different species in such complicate aggregate systems. Moreover, the aggregation of the biphasic self‐assembly processes for dye 1 was investigated by concentration‐dependent UV/Vis spectroscopy. The experimental data were analyzed by using the new model to evaluate the thermodynamic parameters including aggregation constants, the size of nuclei, and the cooperativity the two types of aggregates. Modelling polymerization: A new analytical model of coupled cooperative supramolecular polymerizations is proposed to describe the biphasic aggregation of an amphiphilic BF2‐azadipyrromethene (BODIPY) dye.
