摘要

The attachment of porphyrin molecules on electro-active surfaces opens opportunities for many different types of molecular devices. For this purpose, to achieve stable electrical contact with electrodes, S-protected thiol-derivatized tetraphenyl porphyrin molecules were synthesized in a good yield, by employing a modified Rothemund’s method. Porphyrin molecules were functionalized on all four meso-positions with S-protected p-thioacetylbenzaldehyde which underwent in situ cleavage and/or binding on a metal surface to form self-assembled molecular layers. The functionalization was characterized by H1 NMR. Sequential FTIR and Raman spectroscopy were employed to confirm the presence of functional groups. The optical activity of tetrathiol-mesotetraphenylporphyrin was recorded with UV-Vis spectroscopy. All the characterization techniques showed successful functionalization of porphyrin molecules.
