Calcium, Na, and Fe occurred as the major elements with concentrations ranging from 9 782 μg/g for Ca to 432 μg/g for Na whereas K, Mg, Mn, Ni, Cr, Zn, Pb, and Cu, which occurred at trace levels ranged from 673.73 μg/g for Mg to 2.97 μg/g for Mn. The results of the quantitative analysis of porphyrins extracted from the coal minerals showed that Onyeama coal has the highest amount of porphyrins (ca~0.96 μg/g) while Okpara has the lowest (ca~0.30 μg/g). The porphyrins were qualitatively characterized by a combination of thin layer chromatography (TLC), infrared, and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometers. The results of the mid infrared analysis (MIR) showed the presence of absorption bands at 3 440 cm~1~3 450 cm-1 and 1 640 cm-1~1 680 cm-1 , which are owing to the stretching vibrations of N ─ H and C─ C of aromatics, with C─ H out of plane (oop) bending vibrations at wavenumbers less than 900 cm-1, all of which are characteristic absorptions of porphyrin free base. The ultraviolet-visible data showed prominent peaks at ~400 nm(Soret band) and at wavelength ranges of 535 nm~550 nm(β-band) and 565 nm~ 600 nm (α-band) for the coal porphyrins analyzed. The geochemical significance of the metals and porphyrins in coal minerals are discussed.展开更多

The UV-Vis absorption and resonance light scattering spectra of HsTPyP^6+ monomers and aggregates were also measured. The observed Raman bands of monomeric and aggregated HsTPyP^6+ were assigned on the basis of the observed deuteration shifts and by comparing with the Raman spectra of analogous porphyrin diacids. Aggregation causes moderate downshifts (2-6 cm^-1) for high-frequency modes involving the in-plane CC/CN stretches of the porphyrin core and a dramatic upshift (12 cm^-1) for the out-of-plane saddling mode of the porphyrin ring. The structural changes induced by aggregation and the possible hydrogen bonding interaction between the HsTPyP^6+ molecules in the aggregate are discussed based on the spectral observations.展开更多

Results show that each atropisomer could be successfully synthesized by controlling the acylation temperature at 0 ℃. They were characterized by 1H NMR, HRMS, IR, UV-Vis and Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film analyses. Although the results of HRMS, IR, UV-Vis analyses indicate there is no remarkable difference among the atropisomers, the results of the 1H NMR and the mean molecular areas obtained by LB film technique imply that the atropisomers are significantly discrepant. The former shows that the chemical shifts of the methyl and amide protons of each atropisomer are distinct, while the later presents that the different atropisomer molecules can occupy the different surface areas at the air/water interface.展开更多

Followed by reduction with hydrazine vapor, a series of novel 2 D MtTMPyP/rGO_n were fabricated. The as-prepared 2 D hybrids were fully characterized and tested as non-noble metal catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) in an alkaline medium. The MtTMPyP/rGO_n hybrids, especially CoTMPyP/rGO_5, demonstrated an improved electrocatalytic activity for ORR and a number of exchanged electrons close to 4-electron reaction, increased stability and excellent tolerance to methanol, showing a potential alternative catalyst for ORR in fuel cells and air batteries.展开更多

文摘The photochemical reaction of magnesium tetraphenyl porphyrin (MgTPP) with O2 was studied in CH2Cl2 by steady-state fluorescence, UV-vis absorption, FTIR and MALDI-TOF MS measurements. These spectra indicate that O2 can react with MgTPP excited by irradiation, forming the stable 1:1 coordinated adduct of MgTPP-O2. In the adduct, the oxygen atoms of O2 may insert in the Mg-N bonds in MgTPP and bind with the nitrogen atoms of MgTPP to form N-O-Mg bonds.

文摘The photochemical reaction of magnesium tetraphenyl porphyrin(MgTPP) with sulfur dioxide(SO_2) was investigated in dichloromethane(CH_2Cl_2) by steady-state fluorescence,UV-vis absorption,MS,and XRD spectroscopic techniques.These spectra showed that under irradiation MgTPP reacted with SO_2 to form 1:1 molecular adduct at first step.During the process of keeping irradiation and maintaining the flow of SO_2,SO_2 was reduced into S^(2-) by MgTPP and the results were detected using MS and XRD techniques.Understanding the photochemical reaction of MgTPP with SO_2 is of key interest in elucidating fundamental photochemical reaction mechanisms associated with this class of chlorophyll in the presence of SO_2.
文摘A mono-funtionalised tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) bearing valine moiety at the phenylring was synthesized for photocytotoxicity examination in four steps, starting from regiospecificmono-nitration of TPP at the phenyl ring. The in vitro photocytotoxicitic effect against SPC-Aladenocarcinona cell line was tested.
文摘A series of new vinylated 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrins have been synthesized and characterized by ^1H NMR, MS, UV-vis and fluorescence studies. Following selective excitation of the porphyrin compounds with UV light, the energy is transferred to the porphyrin core and reemitted as red light. In Comparison to tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP), the luminescence properties are markedly improved.
