Fluorescent nanomaterials require high colloidal stability for effective use in imaging and sensing applications. We herein report the synthesis of carbazole-based organic fluorescent nanoaggregates, and demonstrate the superior colloidal stability of alkyl-substituted dye aggregates over their non-alkylated analogs. The role of alkyl chains in self-assembly and stability of such nanoaggregates is discussed based on both experimental and molecular dynamics simulation data, and spectral character ...[more]
