Characterization of electrodes chemically modified with Mn(III) porphyrin/polypyrrole films as catalytic surfaces for an azo dye
In this study we describe the electrochemical behavior of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2'-aminophenylporphyrin)manganese(III) chloride supported on a glassy carbon electrode, as well as the electrochemical preparation and characterization of thin films based on pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid. The electrocatalytic action of the electrode modified with the Mn(III) porphyrin toward an azo dye was tested, and the characteristic strong interaction between the incorporated metalloporphyrin and RR120 dye was verified.

Synthesis and characterization of a novel series of meso (nitrophenyl) and meso (carboxyphenyl) substituted porphyrins
As porfirinas aniônicas 5,10,15-tris(4-carboxifenil), 20-mono(2-nitrofenil) porfirina (1), 5,10(ou 15)-bis(4-carboxifenil), 15(or 10),20-bis(2-nitrofenil)porfirina (2) and 5-mono(4-carboxifenil), 10,15,20-tris(2-nitrofenil)porfirina (3), foram sintetizadas diretamente através da reação de pirrol com os benzaldeídos substituídos em meio de ácido propiônico/nitrobenzeno. A relação molar dos benzaldeídos foi controlada para otimizar a síntese e purificação das porfirinas desejadas. Esta nova série de porfirinas foi caracterizada por cromatografia em camada delgada, espectrometria de massas (FAB MS), RMN ¹H, UV/Vis, IV e eletroquímica. As porfirinas 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxifenil)porfirina (4) e 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2-nitrofenil)porfirina (5) também foram estudadas para comparação, tornando a série completa. A redução eletroquímica das porfirinas base livre e correspondentes ferro(III) porfirinas foi investigada em eletrodos de carbono e mercúrio. Os potenciais de redução mostraram a dependência esperada do número de grupos nitro, fortemente retirador de elétrons, presentes no anel porfirínico, fornecendo evidências adicionais para a caracterização dos compostos sintetizados.The anionic 5,10,15-tris(4-carboxyphenyl), 20-mono(2-nitrophenyl) porphyrin (1), 5,10(or 15)-bis(4-carboxyphenyl), 15(or 10),20-bis(2-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (2) and 5-mono(4-carboxyphenyl), 10,15,20-tris(2-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (3) were sinthesized directly by reaction of pyrrole with substituted benzaldehydes in nitrobenzene/propionic acid media. The benzaldehydes molar ratio was controlled to optimize the synthesis and purification of the desired porphyrins. This new series of porphyrins was characterised by TLC, mass spectrometry (FAB MS), ¹H NMR, UV/Vis, IR and electrochemistry. 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (4) and 5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(2-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (5) were also characterised for comparative purposes, completing the series The electrochemical reduction was investigated for the free base and corresponding iron(III) porphyrins on glassy carbon and mercury electrodes. The reduction potentials showed the expected dependence on the number of electron-withdrawing nitro groups present on the porphyrin ring providing additional evidences for the characterisation of the synthesised compounds.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES
