# Correction: Towards control of excitonic coupling in DNA-templated Cy5 aggregates: the principal role of chemical substituent hydrophobicity and steric interactions

## 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.

## Key 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.
