Abstract
Long‐range structural order and alignment over different scales are of key importance for the regulation of structure and functionality in biology. However, it remains a great challenge to engineer and assemble such complex functional synthetic systems with order over different length scales from simple biologically relevant molecules, such as peptides and porphyrins. Herein we describe the successful introduction of hierarchical long‐range order in dipeptide‐adjusted porphyrin self‐assembly by a thermodynamically driven self‐orienting assembly pathway associated with multiple weak interactions. The long‐range order and alignment of fiber bundles induced new properties, including anisotropic birefringence, a large Stokes shift, amplified chirality, and excellent photostability as well as sustainable photocatalytic activity. We also demonstrate that the aligned fiber bundles are able to induce the epitaxially oriented growth of Pt nanowires in a photocatalytic reaction.
