(a) Postsynthetic modification of DNA with porphyrins through click chemistry or Diels–Alder reaction; the flexibility of the linker allows the porphyrin to intercalate into the DNA.43 (b) Attachment of the porphyrins through the β-pyrrolic position reduces steric hindrances, leading to stable H-aggregates of the porphyrins in the minor groove.
