Jp. Yang et Pc. Huang, A study of cobalt(II) porphyrins on their oxygen-binding behaviors and oxygen-facilitated transport properties in polymeric membranes, CHEM MATER, 12(9), 2000, pp. 2693-2697
The oxygen-binding behaviors of five cobalt(II) meso-tetrakis(substituted p
henyl)porphyrin complexes [CoTPP, CoT(2-Cl)PP, CoT(4-Cl)PP, CoT(4-MeO)PP, a
nd CoT(2,4-2MeO)PP] in chloroform solution were investigated using a UV-vis
ible spectrophotometer. It shows that the substituents and the fifth ligand
in the cobalt(II) porphyrins strongly influence the oxygen-binding rate. T
he cobalt(II) porphyrin complexes substituted with an electron-donating gro
up on the meso-phenyl ring increase the oxygen-binding rate, in contrast, t
he cobalt(II) porphyrin complexes substituted with an electron-accepting gr
oup decrease the oxygen-binding rate; as fifth ligand, both imidazole and p
yridine enhance the oxygen-binding rate of cobalt porphyrin complexes, and
the imidazole has a higher oxygen-binding rate. Meanwhile, the oxygen-facil
itated transport properties in ethyl cellulose (EC) membranes containing fi
ve cobalt porphyrins as oxygen carriers were studied, too. The oxygen-facil
itated transport in a membrane containing such complexes could be strongly
affected by the different substituents and fifth ligand of the complexes.
