Perfluorophenyl‐terminated porphyrin self‐assembled into exceptionally large J‐aggregates in methylcyclohexane; a solvophobic effect of methylcyclohexane on perfluoroarene enhanced a self‐complementary quadrupolar interaction between the perfluorophenyl group and the porphyrin ring, and caused nucleation growth of needles. Eventually, the longitudinal size of porphyrin J‐aggregates reached up to several millimeters. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Morisue et al. on page 7322.
