Research of our group is focused on the supramolecular chemistry of bio-functional materials, such as chlorophylls and lipids. We have prepared novel self-aggregated chlorophyllous pigments in solutions, gels, films and lipid membranes. These artificial supramolecular pigment assemblies provided specific optical properties and functionalities that mimic natural light-harvesting systems in nature.
