Abstract

Abstract : Two 2D amphiphilic metallacycles with a porphyrin unit as the core and hydrophilic glycol units as the tail were designed and fabricated successfully. They can self-assemble into micelles in water and have potential applications in photodynamic therapy. Abstract : Two 2D amphiphilic organoplatinum(ii ) metallacycles with a porphyrin unit as the core and hydrophilic glycol units as the tail were designed and fabricated successfully through a new method called "coordination-driven self-assembly". They can self-assemble into micelles in water and have potential applications in photodynamic therapy.
