5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)-21H,23H-porphine is an achiral porphyrin derivative. It forms chiral supramolecular assemblies via spontaneous symmetry breaking at the air or water interface.

A covalently linked porphyrin-fullerene C60 dyad 5 was synthesized by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition using 5-(4-formylphenyl)-10,15,20-tris[3-(N-ethylcarbazoyl)]porphyrin, N-methylglycine and fullerene C60. Methylation of 5 was used to obtain a cationic dyad 6. Spectroscopic properties were compared in toluene, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and toluene/sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate
Chromophore-fullerene C60 hybrids possess interesting properties that enable them to act as heavy atom-free photosensitizers and reactive oxygen species (ROS) producers. Here, two new diketopyrrolopyrrole-C60 conjugates were efficiently synthesized and characterized. The conjugates show broadband absorption in the visible spectral
Chirality amplification of porphyrin assemblies exclusively constructed from achiral porphyrin derivatives.
