Abstract

In the presence of the sodium salt of a bulky anion, which allows the solubility of Na⁺ in low polarity solvents, various tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin derivatives can spontaneously self-assemble from CH₂Cl₂ into supramolecular nanostructures exhibiting a long-range order, through the coordination of Na⁺ ions by the pyridyl moieties at the macrocycle periphery.
