Abstract
The aggregation of Pyronin G($PG^+$) with tetraphenylborate($TPB^-$) anion has been investigated in aqueous solution by absorption and fluorescence spectrophotometries. The addition of 1,4-dioxane in aqueous solution of $PG^+$ and $TPB^-$ dissociates the aggregates of PG-TPB due to the increased hydrophobicity of the mixed solvent as compared to pure water, and yields higher $PG^+$ momomer concentration than aqueous $PG^+$ solution. The aggregation is not observed in any organic solvents except in water. The absorption maxima of $PG^+$ are correlated relatively well with ${\pi}^*$ scale and $(n^2-1)/(2n^2+1)$ funtion. But better linear relationship was obtained with ${\pi}^*$ scale for alcohols.
