	abstract = {A molecule featuring two distinct cooperatively grown J-aggregates is investigated. Interestingly, when cooling a hot monomer solution, the thermodynamically less stable J1 is exclusively formed even at a particularly slowed temperature dropping rate, which transforms to the more stable\&nbsp;J2 at room temperature with very slow kinetics. This observation is ascribed to the differed nucleus sizes of\&nbsp;J1 and\&nbsp;J2 . During the cooling process, smaller\&nbsp;J1 nuclei are formed first at a higher temperature, favored by the entropy effect. At intermediate temperatures, the elongation of\&nbsp;J1 out-competes the nucleation of\&nbsp;J2 . Then, below the elongation temperature of\&nbsp;J2 , the formation of this thermodynamically stable aggregate is hindered kinetically, due to the depletion of monomer by the slow dissociation of\&nbsp;J1 . Additional evidence proving the larger nucleus size of\&nbsp;J2 is also identified with the varied-temperature spectral analyses and mathematic simulations.},
