Synthesis and self-assembling behavior of a porphyrin bearing multiple meso-conjugated barbiturates

Synthesis of porphyrinic polystyrenes and their self-assembly with pristine fullerene (C60)

“…Recently, porphyrins have been used to construct the novel selfassembly morphologies using covalent/non-covalent interactions with combination of several species such as carbon nanotube (CNT), graphene, and fullerene [9][10][11][12][13]. Among them, the porphyrin-fullerene (C 60 ) complexes are being extensively studied because of their variety of potential applications such as sensors, electronics and organic solar-cells [14,15].…”
