Measurements
MALDI-TOF mass spectra were carried out on a Bruker
APEX47e ultra-high resolution. Elemental analyses were per-
formed by the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of
Sciences. Electronic absorption spectra were recorded on Hitachi
U-4100 spectrophotometer. Fourier transform ion cyclotron
resonance (FT-IR) mass spectrometer with a-cyano-4-hydroxy-
cinnamic acid as matrix. Copper elemental analysis was per-
formed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on PHI 5300
ESCA System (Perkin-Elmer, USA). The excitation source is Al
Ka radiation. Low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) measure-
ments were carried out on a Rigaku D/max-cB X-ray diffrac-
tometer. TEM images were taken on a JEOL JEM-100CX II
electron microscope operated at 100kv. SEM images were
obtained using a JEOL JSM-6700F field-emission scanning
electron microscopy. For SEM imaging, Au (1–2 nm) was
sputtered onto the grids to prevent charging effects and to
improve image clarity.

DMF was distilled from anhydrous MgSO4 under reduced
pressure prior to use. And the water used in the experiment is the
ultrapure water. Column chromatography was carried out on
silica gel (Merck, Kieselgel 60, 200–300 mesh) with the indicated
eluent. All other reagents and solvents were of reagent grade and
used as received. The compounds H2TPP, H2THPP, and
CuTHPP were prepared according to literature methods.26,28

Preparation of nanoaggregates
The nanoaggregates of the porphyrin derivatives 1–3 were
fabricated by the phase transfer method according to the
following procedure.4,8,22,23 A minimum volume (30–50 mL) of
concentrated methanol solution of compounds 1, 2 (1 mM)
(chloroform solution for 3) was injected rapidly into 1 mL water
(methanol for 3). This clear solution was used to record the
electronic absorption spectra for the aggregates. It is worth
noting that the electronic absorption spectra of the complexes in
water do not change significantly along with the increase of the
quiescent time of the solution till 8 h at room temperature (25
ꢂC). After being kept at room temperature for 24 h, suspensions
were observed in the solution. These precipitates were transferred
to the carbon-coated grid by pipetting for the TEM and SEM
observations. These procedures and results were reproducible
under the experimental conditions described above.
