Abstract

The kinetics of growth for chiral J-aggregates of H(4)TPPS(4) porphyrin have been investigated under different experimental conditions in the presence of tartaric acid. The observed rate constants and the anisotropy factor g show a defined dependence on the enantiomer used as a chiral templating agent.This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012
