A glass forming module for organic molecules: making tetraphenylporphyrin lose its crystallinity.
Formation of stable glassy phases can be induced through rational design in compounds which otherwise readily crystallize, such as tetraphenylporphyrin, by simple functionalization with moieties known to promote glass formation such as mexylaminotriazine units.
