Forces to reckon with: Supramolecular complexes, such as the one shown, are normally
based on a combination of different interactions such as ion pairing, hydrogen bonds, and …

Photosynthesis is used by nature to convert light energy into chemical energy in some living
systems. In such a process, a cascade of very efficient, short-range energy and electron …

The increasing energy demand in the near future will force us to seek environmentally clean
alternative energy resources. The emergence of nanomaterials as the new building blocks …

This is the second set of Handbook of Porphyrin Science. Porphyrins, phthalocyanines and
their numerous analogues and derivatives are materials of tremendous importance in …

Since their discovery in 1985 1 and their production on a preparative scale 5 years later, 2
fullerenes have attracted a great deal of attention. Their chemical modification has emerged …

In the Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) the dye sensitizer carries out the light harvesting
function and is therefore crucial in determining overall cell efficiency. In addition, the dye …

Selective photocatalytic oxygenation of various substrates has been achieved using organic
photocatalysts via photoinduced electron-transfer reactions of photocatalysts with substrates …

In this critical review we survey non-covalent interactions of carbon nanotubes with
molecular species from a chemical perspective, particularly emphasising the relationship …

The present review highlights the recent progresses in the preparation of supramolecular,
donor–acceptor (D–A) porphyrin (Por)-and phthalocyanine (Pc)/carbon nanostructure …

The natural photosynthetic light energy harvesting functional nano-architectures, organized
exclusively by non-covalent interactions, have inspired the design of artificial …
