Formation of a supramolecular assembly between a Na+-templated G-quartet and a Ni(ii)-porphyrin complex

Abstract

Formation of a π-π stacked assembly between a Na+- templated G-quartet and octaethylporphyrinatonickel(ii) was observed by spectroscopic methods in methanol/chloroform and the formation dynamics of the assembly was elucidated. This journal is © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
