Abstract

Abstract Self-assembled aggregates of bacteriochlorophyll(BChl)-c/d/e pigments play key roles in major light-harvesting antenna systems of photosynthetic green bacteria. Herein, we report the self-assembly of a lipophilic zinc BChl-d model with an N,N-didodecylamide in the 17-substituent. The present model formed two types of J-aggregates, which formed under kinetic and thermodynamic controls.
