Nanocrystalline cellulose-porphyrin hybrids: synthesis, supramolecular properties, and singlet-oxygen production

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Oct 4;49(76):8525-7. doi: 10.1039/c3cc44852e.

Abstract

An amino-trisulfonate tetraphenylporphyrin was conjugated to carboxylate cellulose nanocrystals giving rise to a new nanomaterial with interesting binding properties.
