Abstract

A dianionic tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) self-assembled into J-aggregates when it co-assembled with a chiral cationic amphiphile via supramolecular gelation. The chiral signs of TPPS J aggregates followed the supramolecular chirality of amphiphilic assemblies rather than the molecular chirality of the amphiphile.
