Self-assembly of Zn(II) Porphyrin-1,2,3-Triazole Conjugate with Alcohol Glue

A Zn(II) porphyrin 1,2,3-triazole conjugate (1-Zn), which can be prepared by click chemistry, afforded a unique self-assembled structure with methanol molecules as glue in the crystals and in toluene solution. The resulting assembled units form a zigzag architecture due to multipoint CH-pi interactions in the solid state.
