Carboxylate and ammonium functionalities—32 of each—facilitate electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged dendrimer electrolytes and porphyrin cores, which leads in protic media to a supramolecular, fluorescence‐active aggregate of two chromophores that communicate and have a predictable t...
