title: Chromophores arranged as "magnetic meta atoms": building blocks for molecular metamaterials.
abstract: Benzoperylenetriscarboximides were parallel arranged by stiff spacers where exciton interactions could be controlled by their distance. The most bathochromic electronic transition of the chromophores essentially exhibits only an electric component where an orthogonal magnetic component was established by the distance-controlled interaction of chromophores. Such arrangements were discussed as building blocks for molecular metamaterials.
