Self-assembly of a π-electronic amphiphile consisting of a zinc porphyrin–fullerene dyad: formation of micro-vesicles with a high stability

Abstract

An amphiphilic zinc porphyrin–fullerene dyad appended with triethyleneglycol chains in aqueous media forms uniformly-sized multilamellar vesicles with a mean diameter of 100 nm that are thermally stable and robust against membrane lysis with surfactants.
