Significant Examples of Electropolymerized Films from Aminophenyl-, Hydroxyphenyl- and Vinyl-Substituted Porphyrins 

In 1988, a pioneering work dealing with electrode characteristics of an immobilized enzyme chemically modified electrode based on bilayer-film coating for amperometric determination of glucose was reported. In this work, a substrate was coated with two kinds of polymeric films in a bilayer state, that is, first with the cobalt tetrakis(o-aminophenyl)porphyrin polymer film and then with the enzyme film consisting of bovine serum albumin and glucose oxidase that were 

Malinski s group showed in early 1990s pioneering works on the electrochemical synthesis and characterization of conductive porphyrinic polymeric and 

But the most smdied electropolymerizable porphyrins are the tetra-amino-and tetrahydroxyphenyl-substituted ones. Indeed, both of them were developed to elaborate electrodes having potentiometric responses to several kinds of anions, such as iodide for example . Co(II) tetrakis(p-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin 53-based films were used for the elaboration of potentiometric and fibre optic pH sensors with minimal interferences from anions. Zn(II)-53-based films were also used and characterized for kinetics studies of hydrogen evolution at their surface . Zn(II)-53 as well as Pd(II)-53 and free base tetra(4-methyl pyridinium) porphyrin (H2-54) were electropolymerized on indium tin oxide substrates, leading thus to starting materials for the making of donor/acceptor 

Electropolymerized films of [Co(II)-44] were investigated for their elec-trocatalytic behaviour towards dioxygen reductionand thiol oxidation. Electropolymerization of Co(II)-44 can be achieved by repeated potential scans
