Abstract
Porphyrin aggregation is a field of wide interest owing to the possible technological and biomedical applications. Under these premises, the possibility of tuning and driving the assembly processes turns out to have a central role in achieving specific structures and, therefore, functions. Recently, we have demonstrated that self-aggregation of water-soluble porphyrins on opposite charged polymeric templates is not simply related to the tendency of a given porphyrin towards aggregation, but is driven by specific molecular recognition processes. 1–3
