Chem. 2003, 115, 1788–1791 ing Information) and the CD spectrum (Figure 2a) indicates there is only minor optical activity. This indicates clearly that the initial structure and aggregation state of ZnOEP· L in the solid state is very similar to that in solution. Subsequent measurements of the same sample after four days [5] revealed extensive changes in the UV/Vis and CD spectra. In the UV/Vis spectrum the amplitude of the initial B band was considerably diminished, with a new bathochromically shifted transition appearing at λ= 464 nm; similar but smaller changes were also clearly observed in the Q absorption region. These observations suggest an intermolecular J-type association of the ZnOEP· L molecules to form a stacked (ZnOEP· L) n species, as they are in good agreement with exciton coupling theory [6] and other literature data on various J aggregates.[1a, f, k, 7] Simultaneous CD monitoring of the same solid-state sample showed induction of extraordinarily high optical activity in the aggregated species.[8] Specifically, this includes an intense CD couplet in the region of the new lowenergy B band (Figure2a) and conspicuous monosignate Cotton effects corresponding to the porphyrin Q transitions (see the Supporting Information). Although the spectral profile of this CD signal somewhat resembles that observed for the bis (zinc porphyrin)/(S)-CHEA system under solid-state conditions [2a] and the induced chirality sign is also the same, thus indicating similarity in the structural organization and helical orientation between the chiral aggregates, there are two crucially important differences. These are a considerable low-energy shift of the first Cotton effect (λCD= 469 nm) and a remarkable enhancement of the anisotropy (g) factor at the wavelength corresponding to the first Cotton effect (g= À0. 015), which is 10–100 times greater than the g factors reported for typical allowed π–π transitions. This is apparently a result of the formation of larger J aggregates of (ZnOEP· L) n and the amplification of chirality by intermolecular excitonic coupling within the aggregates. In the case of bisporphyrin chromophores the formation of larger aggregates is less probable because of the larger molecular size in comparison to the monomeric porphyrin. Furthermore, the intermolecularly induced chirality is considerably reduced in the bisporphyrin case by intramolecular coupling of opposite orientation.[2a, b] However, all other chiral amines studied to date do not generate any supramolecular chirogenic processes upon interaction with ZnOEP in the solid state.[3] Although the precise origin of the selectivity of CHEA is not yet well understood, it is likely that the exceptionally high binding ability of these ligands among the amines used [2c] may contribute greatly to the formation of chiral aggregates in the
