Abstract

Abstract: Six different nanoarchitectures were constructed by a series of synthetic bio-inspired chiral porphyrin dimers through molecular self-assembly behaviour. A plausible mechanism of chiral expression from the molecular to the macroscopic levels was investigated through an analysis of the optical spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. Highlights: Six different nanoarchitectures were constructed by chiral porphyrin dimers. The optical spectroscopic properties and TD-DFT calculation were carried out. The plausible mechanism of chiral expression was explored.
