synthesis of porphyrin nanotubes using ionic self-assembly of two oppositely charged porphyrins in aqueous solution. A significant advantage of the ionic self-assembly approach is the ability to vary the molecular subunits (tectons) to introduce the desired functionality. In the case of the porphyrin nanotubes, [12] a tin–porphyrin complex, which operates as a photocatalyst in homogenous solution, was used as one of the tectons. The nanotubes were shown to be capable of photocatalytically reducing metal complexes and depositing the metals selectively onto the nanotube surfaces to form unique composite nanostructures, [13] thus verifying that the photocatalytic activity of the tin–porphyrin tectons in the nanotubes is preserved. In this work, we demonstrate that other synthetic approaches can also be used to produce porphyrin nanostructures by ionic self-assembly. Specifically, phase-transfer reactions are used to generate porphyrin nanofiber bundles by the phase
