摘要:
                                A series of new porphyrin derivatives possessing the side arms of alkyl-substituted thiophene oligomer were synthesized. The effects of solvent polarity on the formation of supramolecular assembly have been studied by UV-vis absorption, fluorescence emission, and TEM measurement. The linear-shape porphyrin derivatives bearing two thiophene pentamers at meso-position showed the significant spectral changes in both blue-shift and band broadening of Soret bands which indicate the formation of a relatively larger porphyrin H-aggregate that occurred in nonpolar solvent such as n-hexane.
