Abstract
The supramolecular chirogenesis in porphyrin self-assembled architectures is a field of high importance, with wide application in technology, material chemistry and medicine. In this chapter the more recent aspect of this issue will be covered, with emphasis on the experimental protocols, on the properties of the suprastructures obtained, and on their applications.
