Aggregation of chlorophylls in monolayers.

R M Leblanc, C Chapados

    Biophysical Chemistry
    |December 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dioxane vapor interacts with chlorophyll, forming a complex where dioxane's oxygen binds to chlorophyll's magnesium. This finding, confirmed by spectroscopy and molecular orbital calculations, sheds light on molecular interactions.
