Self-assembly of oligomeric linear dipyrromethene metal complexes.
BF(2) capped dipyrrin dimers were synthesized and have been used to terminate oligomerization to form a series of controlled length oligomers; the crystal structures of the metal complexes were investigated and correlations between the structures and optical properties were established.
