Abstract
Methods of forming a porphene polymeric material are provided. The resulting material can be a porphene or a metalloporphene polymeric material. The structure of the polymer can be selected based on a material provided in the monomer material. Methods of using the polymeric material are also provided.
Claims5
A porphene polymer, comprising:
- polymerized monomers of porphyrin, wherein the porphyrin is a macrocyclic molecule comprising four nitrogen atoms, wherein a structure of the porphene polymer is a single layer, a double layer, or a multilayer, wherein a thickness of the single layer, double layer, or multilayer is no more than about 5 nm, wherein the monomers of porphyrin are directly fused to each other, and wherein the single layer, double layer, or multilayer is at least three monomers of porphyrin in length and at least three monomers of porphyrin in width.
