Method for forming cooperative binary ionic solids
| DWPI Title: Nanostructured molecular unit useful in solar energy and other applications, comprises cationic porphyrin comprising ethanolic substituent species, and anionic porphyrin comprising sulfonate substituent species |
| Abstract: A nanostructured molecular unit and method for forming is described where a cationic porphyrin having an ethanolic substituent species and a metal in the porphyrin cavity is combined with an anionic porphyrin having a sulfonate substituent species and a metal in the porphyrin cavity to form by self-assembly a nanostructured molecular unit with a morphology comprising four dendritic elements connected at a central node. |
| Use: The nanostructured molecular unit is useful in solar energy and other applications. |
| Advantage: The nanostructured molecular unit exhibits improved photophysical and electronic properties. |
| Novelty: Nanostructured molecular unit comprises at least one cationic porphyrin comprising ethanolic substituent species, and at least one anionic porphyrin comprising sulfonate substituent species, thus forming a nanostructured molecular unit with a morphology comprising four dendritic elements connected at a central node, by self-assembly. |
