Supramolecular self-assembly of a fluorinated Zn porphyrin. Molecular structure of a two-dimensional network of amine-functionalized, hexacoordinated Zn porphyrins.

[5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(4-n-propylamino-2,3,5,6- tetrafluorophenyl)porphyrinato]zinc(II) self-assembles into a two-dimensional supramolecular array in which each porphyrin is linked to four orthogonally-oriented chromophores.
