The detection of pollutant and toxic gases has attracted extensive attention due to the growing environmental issues. In the present investigation, free-based tetraphenyl porphyrin (TPP) and iron tetraphenyl porphyrin (FeTPP) are used to functionalize thermally reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and further used for the detection of carbon monoxide (CO). TPP and FeTPP functionalized rGO (FeTPP@rGO) sensors are fabricated on a glass substrate with thermally coated copper electrodes. The materials are characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics have also been studied to demonstrate the operation of the device. In addition, the FeTPP@rGO device shows high sensitivity toward the detection of CO. By testing in the chemiresistive sensing modality, the as-fabricated device shows good response and recovery of 60 s and 120 s, respectively, with a low detection limit of 2.5 ppm.

Metalloporphyrins have been widely utilized as building blocks for molecular self-assembly in organic solvents, but their application in water is less common due to competition from water molecules for the metal center. However, Co(III) metalloporphyrins are notable for their strong binding to two aromatic amine ligands in aqueous buffers. In this study, we present a comprehensive investigation of the binding behavior of Co(III) tetraphenyl sulfonic acid porphyrin with selected aromatic and aliphatic amines in aqueous solution.

It remains unclear how the collective strong coupling of cavity-confined photons to the electronic transitions of molecular chromophore leverages the distinct properties of the polaritonic constituents for future technologies. In this study, we design, fabricate, and characterize multiple types of Fabry-Pérot (FP) mirco-resonators containing copper(II) tetraphenyl porphyrin (CuTPP) to show how cavity polariton formation affects radiative relaxation processes in the presence of substantial non-Condon vibronic coupling between two of this molecule's excited electronic states. Unlike the prototypical enhancement of Q state radiative relaxation of CuTPP in a FP resonator incapable of forming polaritons, we find the light emission processes in multimode cavity polariton samples become enhanced for cavity-exciton energy differences near those of vibrations known to mediate non-Condon vibronic coupling.

The interaction between different metals (M), axial ligands (L), and ring substituents (R) in porphyrins was investigated using density functional theory. Different combinations of iron and cobalt as metal centers; imidazole, chlorine, and an n-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) as axial ligands, and unsubstituted, octaethyl-, and tetraphenyl-porphyrins were explored in their low, intermediate, and high-spin states, alongside oxygen affinity. Remarkably, the n-heterocyclic carbene enhanced the affinity of cobalt porphyrins to oxygen, with binding energies on average 4.

We have investigated the adsorption and self-metalation of free-base tetraphenyltransdibenzoporphyrin (2H-TPtdBP) on Cu(111) as a function of coverage and temperature using scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature programmed desorption, and density-functional theory calculations. At low coverages (<0.16 molecules nm), we observe isolated individual molecules with an inverted conformation and no self-metalation up to 363 K.

Coinfection of (Mtb) and human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) is a significant public health concern. Treatment is challenging due to prolonged duration of therapy and drug interactions between antiretroviral therapy (ART) and anti-TB drugs. Noniron gallium -tetraphenyl porphyrin (GaTP), a heme mimetic, has shown broad antimicrobial activity.
