| Summary: | Zinc bacteriochlorophyll-d derivatives possessing a polymerizable moiety at the
17-propionate were prepared as model compounds of natural occurring chlorophylls
in the main peripheral antennas of green photosynthetic bacteria (chlorosomes).
The synthetic compounds self-aggregated in nonpolar organic solvents as well as
in the solid state to give large oligomers similar to chlorosomal J-aggregates.
Such introduction of the polymerizable groups in the ester did not suppress the ability of
self-aggregation. |
