Self-organizing functional materials via ionic self assembly: porphyrins H- and J-aggregates on synthetic chrysotile nanotubes.
Positively charged, synthetic chrysotile nanotubes act as inorganic tectons supporting H- and J-type aggregates of anionic porphyrins with markedly different optical properties, making these nanohybrid materials of interest for application in nanotechnology.
