CNDs-S or CNDs-R as templates for chiral supramolecular aggregates. Experiments performed in water at 298 K. a Schematic representation of CNDs-R acting as chiral template after pH decrease trigger (purple = free base porphyrin, green = protonated porphyrin); b UV–Vis spectra of CNDs (black line) and CNDs + HnTSPPm- solutions at different pHs (H2TSPP4- concentration = 6.0 μM); c ECD spectra of CNDs-S (red line) and CNDs-R (black line), both in the presence of H4TSPP2- (6.0 μM) at pH = 2.5
