Antenna-like Ring Structures via Self-Assembly of Octaphosphonate Tetraphenyl Porphyrin with Nucleobases.


ABSTRACT: Supramolecular self-assembly of an octaphosphonate tetraphenyl porphyrin with three different nucleobases (adenine, cytosine, and thymine) was studied. Porphyrin 1 with 8 and 10 equiv of cytosine produces light-harvesting ring-like structures, that is, architectures similar to those observed in natural light-harvesting antenna. However, porphyrin assembled with adenine or thymine resulted in prisms and microrods, respectively. UV-vis absorption, fluorescence, and dynamic light scattering were used to determine the mode of aggregation in solution. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy used to visualize the self-assembled nanostructures and their behavior in the solid state, respectively. Thus, we believe that this study may demonstrate a deeper understanding on how one needs to manipulate donor/acceptor subunits in supramolecular assemblies to construct artificial antenna architectures.
