Influence of dendron size on self-assembly of chlorophyll molecules.

Caption

Researchers from Chiba University synthesized two chlorophyll derivatives (ChG2 and ChG3) that self-assemble into rosette patterns, columnar stacks, and disc-shaped aggregates depending on the solvent and the dendron generation (G2 or G3).
