The formation constant and absorption spectrum of the dimer of Rhodamine 6G have been evaluated: the trimer is not formed. The geometric structure of the aggregate is determined using exciton theory. The thermodynamics of the dimerization process permit the study of association forces, justifying the structural differences from those exhibited by Rhodamine B dimers.
