Porphyrin metalation providing an example of a redox reaction facilitated by a surface reconstruction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presence of an oxygen reconstruction on the Cu(001) surface results in the self-metalation of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (2HTPP) below room temperature (at ~285 K), in contrast to 2HTPP on the bare Cu(001) substrate, where a temperature of ~450 K is required. This study demonstrates the decisive impact of a surface reconstruction on the redox reaction in the solvent-free ultra-high vacuum environment.

From porphyrins to pyrphyrins: adsorption study and metalation of a molecular catalyst on Au(111).
The molecular ligand pyrphyrin, a tetradentate bipyridine based macrocycle, represents an interesting but widely unexplored class of molecules. It resembles the well-known porphyrin, but consists of pyridyl subunits instead of pyrroles. Metal complexes based on pyrphyrin ligands have recently shown promise as water reduction catalysts in homogeneous photochemical water splitting reactions. In t...

Cyclic voltammogram and differential pulse polarograph of octaethyl porphyrin iron(III) chloride in dichloromethane was investigated in the presence of pyridine, imidazole and collidine. Values of E1/2 for FeIII/FeII redox reaction were monitored as a function of axial group concentration, and on the basis of these data, an overall oxidation-reduction and ligand addition scheme was formulated. ...

The recent surge of interest in non-noble-metal porphyrin and phthalocyanine catalysts has been prompted by their potential to replace Pt as cathodic catalysts in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). However, to realize the apparent benefits of the metal–N-coordinated catalysts in high-power fuel cells, advances in catalyst design and synthesis are required to produce catalysts wit...
متن کاملMassive conformational changes during thermally induced self-metalation of 2H-tetrakis-(3,5-di-tert-butyl)-phenylporphyrin on Cu(111).
Based on a combined scanning tunnelling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study we present detailed insights into pronounced changes of long-range order and intramolecular conformation during the self-metalation of 2H-5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(3,5-di-tert-butyl)-phenylporphyrin (2HTTBPP) to CuTTBPP on Cu(111). Upon metalation, the porphyrin literally "pops up" from the surface, due to ...

In this work the kinetic data demanded for kinetic modeling were obtained in temperatures 350, 400, 450 and 500 oC by conducting experimentations on a Fe-Cr nanocatalyst prepared from a novel method and a commercial Fe-Cr-Cu one. The collected data were subjected to kinetic modeling by using two models derived from redox and associative mechanisms as well as an empirical one. The coefficients o...
