- Description: Solution and solid phase electrochemical features of 5-[4-(3,4-dicyanophenoxy)phenyl],10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin complexes of iron(III) (FeCNOTPP(Cl)) and cobalt(II) (CoCNOTPP) have been described. These novel asymmetric dicyanophenoxy-derivatised cobalt and iron porphyrin complexes were electropolymerised onto glassy carbon electrodes, which in aqueous solutions, gave surface concentrations (ca. 10−10 mol cm−2) typical of monolayer coverages. The films also exhibited excellent stability and electrocatalysis towards the direct detection of important analytes as nitrite, nitric oxide, and hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions.

- Description: This communication describes the electrochemistry of a novel cobalt phthalocyanine–cobalt porphyrin (cobalt(II)phthalocyanine–cobalt(II)tetra(5-phenoxy-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin)) (CoPc-(CoTPP)4) immobilised onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The GCE-CoPc-(CoTPP)4 displayed high efficiency as a potential amperometric sensor for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in neutral and alkaline pH conditions. Electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties of the pentamer seem to depend mostly on the central CoPc, and partly, on the synergistic effect of the CoPc/CoPP units. The GCE-CoPc-(CoTPP)4 showed very fast amperometric response (∼1 s), with linearities up to ⩾1.50 mM, low detection limits (μM range) and stability (8 weeks) towards the amperometric determination of laboratory and medical solutions of H2O2.

- Description: The synthesis of a phthalocyanine-porphyrin heteropentamer (zinc(II) tetra(5-phenoxy-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin)) zinc(II) phthalocyanine, (ZnPc-(ZnTPP)4), containing four units of zinc tetraphenylporphyrin linked to a central zinc phthalocyanine macrocycle via an ether linkage is reported. The photophysical parameters of the pentamer are reported in toluene and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The observed differences in the fluorescence behavior of the pentamer in the two solvents is explained in terms of emission from different states; charge transfer state in DMSO and locally excited state in toluene. The rate constants for fluorescence, intersystem crossing, internal conversion, and of charge and energy transfer are reported for the pentamer. Quantum yields for fluorescence, internal conversion, triplet state and of charge and energy transfer are also reported for the pentamer, ZnPc-(ZnTPP)4 and the mixture of ZnPc and ZnTPP. The latter two parameters are higher in the pentamer compared to a mixture containing ZnPc and ZnTPP.
