title: Conductive porphyrin helix from ternary self-assembly systems.
abstract: A helix with the ternary components of TPPS4, Zn(NO3)2 and C14DMAO is easily obtained in aqueous solution. It retains the characteristic fluorescence of the porphyrin and can be conductive when it bridges on a gold electrode, which provides potential applications in photochemistry and electrical devices.
