Metalloporphyrins platinum porphyrinates

Platinum porphyrin complexes can be prepared by reaction with PtCl2(PhCN)2. Purification of the final complex is by medium pressure liquid chromatography on alumina. The strongly phosphorescent platinum(II) porphyrin complexes are efficient sensitizers for stilbene isomerization. The quantum yields for the cis to trans process are greater than unity because of a quantum chain process in which the metalloporphyrin serves both as an energy donor and an acceptor.1110 Picosecond laser spectroscopy has been used to obtain time-resolved excited-state spectra of platinum octaethylporphyrin complexes, and to probe the excited-state energy levels.1111 Tetrabenzoporphyrin complexes have been prepared for platinum in both the divalent and tetravalent oxidation states. The divalent complex shows strong phosphorescence at 745 nm.1112... 

Abstract Pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) is applied to the areodynamics measurement. PSP is optical sensor based on the luminescence of dye probe molecules quenching by oxygen gas. Many PSPs are composed of probe dye molecules, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pyrene, pyrene derivative etc.), transition metal complexes (ruthenium(II), osumium(II), iridium(III) etc.), and metalloporphyrins (platinum (II), palladium(II), etc.) immobilized in oxygen permeable polymer (silicone, polystyrene, fluorinated polymer, cellulose derivative, etc.) film. Dye probe molecules adsorbed layer based PSPs such as pyrene derivative and porphyrins directly adsorbed onto anodic oxidised aluminium plat substrate also developed. In this section the properties of various oxygen permeable polymer for matrix and various dye probes for PSP are described. 

The use of metalloporphyrin-based materials for the detection of molecular oxygen is well developed. One approach that has been employed extensively involves the well-known phenomenon of quenching of metalloporphyrin phosphorescence by O2. Due to their high phosphorescence quantum yields and short triplet lifetimes, platinum and palladium porphyrins were originally suggested as probes... 

Electrochemical methods for NO determination offer several features that are not available with spectroscopic approaches. Perhaps the most important is the capability of microelectrodes to directly measure NO in single cells in situ, in close proximity to the source of NO generation. Figure 2 shows sensors that have been developed for the electrochemical measurement of NO. One is based on the electrochemical oxidation of NO on a platinum electrode (the classical Clark probe for detection of oxygen) and operates in the amperometric mode [17]. The other is based on the electrochemical oxidation of NO on conductive polymeric porphyrin (porphyrinic sensor) [24]. The Clark probe uses a platinum wire as a working electrode (anode) and a silver wire serves as the counterelectrode (cathode). The electrodes are mounted in a capillary tube filled with a sodium chlo-ride/hydrochloric acid solution separated from the analyte by a gas-permeable membrane. A constant potential of 0.9 V is applied, and direct current (analytical signal) is measured from the electrochemical oxidation of NO on the platinum anode. In the porphyrinic sensor, NO is catalytically oxidized on a polymeric metalloporphyrin...
