Abstract

Twisted supramolecular assemblies “nanoscrews”, were prepared by using simple porphyrin derivatives and acetonitrile solvent. The electrical properties of the assemblies were measured by using microgap electrodes. The nanoscrew had conductivity and showed photo-current. By changing the solvent, the pitch of the screws and their aggregation shapes could be controlled.
