Abstract

A porphyrin-based amphiphile that exhibits various self-assembled nanostructures in different solvents has been successfully prepared. The effect of aggregated structure on optical properties of this amphiphile has been well investigated. Furthermore, this porphyrin-based amphiphile and its assemblies show dynamic/reversible variations in morphology and optical properties in response to light.
