Abstract
Organized molecular assemblies with well-defined shapes and structures are of great interest because of a variety of applications such as photonics and electronics. Porphyrins are often organized into nanoscale superstructures which perform many of the essential light-harvesting and electron and energy-transfer functions. In recent years, a wide variety of nanometer-sized self-assembled porphyrin architectures using noncovalent bondings have been reported, such as hydrogen bonding, coordination bonding, electrostatic interactions. Here, we employ 1,3,5-Triazine substituents for hydrogen bonding-based organization of porphyrins. The detail structural and photophysical properties will be discussed in this presentation.
