The effect of adding various kinds of acids HX (X = Cl, Br, I, CF3COO, CF3SO3, TFPB ((3,5-(CF3)(2)C6H3)(4)B) to isomeric tetra(2-pyridyl)porphyrin, tetra(3-pyridyl)porphyrin, and tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin (TpyP(2), TpyP(3), and TpyP(4)) in dichloromethane solution has been investigated through the combined use of UV/ vis absorption, fluorescence emission, and resonance light scattering (RLS) techniques. The experimental evidence points to a marked dependence of the protonation and aggregation behavior on the nature of both acids and porphyrins. In general, three different trends can be recognized: (i) formation of a fully protonated species, followed by aggregation; (ii) formation of a tetraprotonated species, which aggregates and, on further addition of acid, disaggregates; and (iii) protonation of the four pyridyl moieties, leading to a tetraprotonated ion pair, in the unique case of the bulky TFPB- anion. In all cases, the protonated species and the resulting aggregates exhibit spectroscopic features that are markedly influenced by the nature of the counteranions. A model for J-aggregation has been proposed on the basis of an interplay of hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and dispersive interactions. Kinetic control of the aggregation process allows for a fine-tuning of the spectroscopic properties of the final aggregated species.
