Self-aggregation of Synthetic Zinc Chlorophyll Derivatives Possessing Fluoroalkyl Chains in Liquid Carbon Dioxide as Models of Green Photosynthetic Bacterial Antennae

Zinc chlorophyll derivatives possessing (multi)-perfluoroalkyl chain(s) in the 17-propionate residue were dissolved in liquid carbon dioxide to form their oligomers (=J-aggregates), while the alkyl-type analog was insoluble in the medium. These results indicated solubilization and stabilization of t...

Description
Summary:	Zinc chlorophyll derivatives possessing (multi)-perfluoroalkyl chain(s) in the 17-propionate residue were dissolved in liquid carbon dioxide to form their oligomers (=J-aggregates), while the alkyl-type analog was insoluble in the medium. These results indicated solubilization and stabilization of their supramolecules by an interaction between the perfluoroalkyl substituents and liquid carbon dioxide.
