Formation Principles, Optical Properties and Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering for Porphyrin Nanotubes Fixed on Plasmonic Resonance Particles

Deactivation of Excited States in Nanostructures Containing Cu-Porphyrin Subunit

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9] Correspondingly, a significant interest of numerous scientific groups is devoted to the design and investigation of biomimetic models based on tetrapyrrole compounds that fold or self-assemble predictably in order to form multicomponent well-defined arrays with effective energy transfer and charge separation like in photosynthetic objects in vivo. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] On the other hand, there are many promising self-organized systems or nanoassemblies (including even organic-inorganic counterparts) which offer exciting opportunities for the engineering and preparation of various man-made molecular nanodevices in the modern fields of molecular electronics (photoinduced molecular switches, photonic wires, solar cells, optoelectronic gates, information storage, etc.) and nanobiophotonics (nanoprobes for biomedical imaging, biosensing and photodynamic therapy of cancer, etc).…”
