A new zinc porphyrin with an adenine substituted was synthesized and charac
terized by H-1 NMR and IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The coordina
tion of adenine substituted to the central zinc leads to self-assembly, The
results of vapor pressure osmometry and visible spectroscopy and fluoresce
nce spectrophotometry revealed the presence of a stable self-assembled comp
lex.
