Abstract

A new self-assembling molecule was designed and synthesized. This molecule consisted of a photoactive porphyrin core and two hydrogen-bonding moieties based on a self-dimerizing property of an aminopyrimidinone skeleton. The physical properties, NMR, UV and solubility, of the self-assembling molecule were investigated. Furthermore, the molecular recognition ability of the molecule for C60 was assessed.
