摘要:
A facile one-pot conversion of 2-formy1-5,10,15,20-tetra aryl-substituted porphyrins and their zinc derivatives to the corresponding 2-carboxy-5,10,15,20-tetra aryl-substituted porphyrins was achieved for the first time by using hydroxylamine hydrochloride and phthalic anhydride. All these substituted carboxy porphyrins were completely characterized by using mass, CHN analysis, H-1 NMR, UV-vis, Fluorescence spectroscopies, and cyclic voltammetry. Both the absorption maxima and emission maxima were red shifted by 5-7 nm. The LUMO of these porphyrins are above the TiO2 conduction band and HOMO was below the redox electrolytes. These carboxy porphyrins are potential applications as sensitizers to dye-sensitized solar cell. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
