Abstract

Chlorophyll pigments often assemble in a poor solvent to form less-ordered amorphous aggregates, despite the in vitro self-aggregation observed with chemically modified chlorophyll derivatives biomimicking a chlorosome. Chlorophyll dimer linked with a terephthalamide formed well-defined fiber shaped aggregates in hexane. The nanofiber was constructed by columnar self-aggregation via hydrogen bonding between terephthalamide moieties, which is different from chlorosomal aggregates that typically are formed by a coordination as well as hydrogen bonding.
