The process of dimerization of rhodamine 6G at high concentrations in solution and when incorporated in a solid state matrix is well known but the dimer response to photodegration is still not well understood. Silica sol-gel films have been doped with rhodamine 6G with a concentration up to 10(-1) M to form large amounts of dimers within the matrix. Fluorescence and UV absorption spectra have shown that both not-fluorescent H-dimers and fluorescent J-dimers together with the monomer form of rhodamine 6G are present in the matrix. Upon exposure up to 11 h to UV light a selective photodegradation of the different species has been finally observed. Analysis of the absorption spectra has shown that the H-type dimers are more resistant to photodegradation with respect to the J-type dimers. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
