Water-soluble porphyrin nanospheres: enhanced photo-physical properties achieved via cyclodextrin driven double self-inclusion

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: We describe a method to construct water-soluble porphyrinic nanospheres with enhanced photo-physical properties as a result of precluding (via intra-molecular host-guest interactions) the individual porphyrins units from aromatic-aromatic stacking.
