  • Method for forming cooperative binary ionic solids
    Patent number: 8829183
    Abstract: A nanostructured molecular unit and method for forming is described where a cationic porphyrin having an ethanolic substituent species and a metal in the porphyrin cavity is combined with an anionic porphyrin having a sulfonate substituent species and a metal in the porphyrin cavity to form by self-assembly a nanostructured molecular unit with a morphology comprising four dendritic elements connected at a central node.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2013
    Date of Patent: September 9, 2014
