A series of protected phenylalanine and diphenylalanine derivatives have been coupled through a peptide bond to a monoaminoporphyrin to form new materials. A comparative study in solution and in the solid state has been performed and confirmed new and interesting properties for the self‐assembled hybrid materials while conserving the electronic properties of the chromophore. Thus, they are powerful candidates for use in dye‐sensitized solar cells.
