Droplet-assisted fabrication of colloidal crystals from flower-shaped porphyrin Janus particles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jan 25;51(7):1367-70. doi: 10.1039/c4cc08045a.

Abstract

A facile fabrication of flower-shaped porphyrin Janus colloids with oriented arrangement was demonstrated based on the interfacial assembly and water droplet template. The as-fabricated colloidal crystals from flower-shaped Janus particles show a special optical signal produced from the hierarchical structures.
