Collective Strong Coupling Modifies Aggregation and Solvation
arXiv:2312.08814 · doi:10.1021/acs.jpclett.3c03506
Abstract
Intermolecular interactions are pivotal for aggregation, solvation, and crystallization. We demonstrate that the collective strong coupling of several molecules to a single optical mode results in notable changes in the molecular excitations around an impurity, e.g., in the first aggregation or solvation shell. A competition between short-range Coulombic and long-range photonic correlation inverts the local transition density in a polaritonic state, suggesting notable changes in the polarizability of the solvation shell. Our results provide an alternative perspective on recent work in polaritonic chemistry and pave the way for the rigorous treatment of cooperative effects in aggregation, solvation, and crystallization.
