Cover Feature: Charge‐Transfer‐Adaptable Double‐Strand Formation of a Porphyrin‐BODIPY‐Porphyrin Triad (ChemPhotoChem 6/2021)

Abstract

The Cover Feature illustrates how the charge‐transfer (CT) character of a quadrupolar porphyrin–BODIPY–porphyrin array is modulated depending on the solvent polarity. In cyclohexane, as a relatively poor solvent for the quadrupolar array, the structure adapted CT character for stable solubilization through double‐strand formation. The electronic properties were governed by solvent polarity parameters irrespective of assembly in either single‐ or double‐strand structures.
