title: Self-assembly into spheres of a hybrid diphenylalanine-porphyrin: increased fluorescence lifetime and conserved electronic properties.
abstract: A series of protected phenylalanine and diphenylalanine derivatives have been coupled through a peptide bond to a monoaminoporphyrin to form new materials. A comparative study in solution and in the solid state has been performed and confirmed new and interesting properties for the self-assembled hybrid materials while conserving the electronic properties of the chromophore. Thus, they are powerful candidates for use in dye-sensitized solar cells.
