Oligopyrenotides: Chiral Nanoscale Templates for Chromophore Assembly |
||
The formation of chiral supramolecular assemblies is an important aspect in the development of novel types of materials. DNA is well known to serve as a template for the organization of functional molecules. Among the many types of compounds investigated, cationic porphyrins take a prominent place. A wide variety of ligand-DNA complexes have been described, however, changes in the DNA template are limited.
This work was carried out in the group of Prof. Robert Häner. References:
