TL;DR
This paper corrects a previous study on how chemical properties affect light interactions in DNA-based structures.
Contribution
The correction addresses errors in the original study's analysis of hydrophobicity and steric effects on excitonic coupling.
Findings
The corrected analysis clarifies the role of chemical substituent hydrophobicity in excitonic coupling.
Steric interactions were found to significantly influence the behavior of DNA-templated Cy5 aggregates.
The revised conclusions provide a more accurate understanding of the factors controlling excitonic coupling.

The authors regret that an error occurred in the labelling of Fig. 3E, where the circular dichroism spectrum for Cy5-tBu was mislabelled as Cy5-Cl and vice versa. This error strictly concerns the labelling of the figure and does not impact any of the data or conclusions of the article. The correct Fig. 3 is shown here.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
