Zusammenfassung

Self-assembled supramolecular functional units that are suitable for a directional exciton and charge carrier transport on a scale of up to hundred nanometers will be developed by covalent modification of a tubular dye aggregate that Mother Nature has created on the basis of strong excitonically coupled metallochlorins for photosynthesis. The self-organization of these building blocks leads preferentially to tubular nanoaggregates (with a diameter of 5 - 10 nm), or depending on their structural features and aggregation conditions, to linear or 2-dimensional aggregates. Covalent fixatio...
