A novel thiocyanate-selective electrode based on a zinc–phthalocyanine complex

A novel thiocyanate (SCN⁻)-selective PVC membrane electrode based on a zinc-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) complex as neutral carrier is described. The membrane electrode containing ZnPc with 5.1% (w/w) ionophore, 29.2% (w/w) PVC, and 65.7% (w/w) 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (o-NPOE) as plasticizer displayed an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence , and exhibited near-Nernstian potential response to thiocyanate ranging from about 1.0×10⁻¹ to 1.0×10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹ with a detection limit of 7.5×10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹ and a slope of 58.1±0.5 mV per decade in pH 3.0 phosphate buffer solution at 25 °C. This preferential response is believed to be associated with the unique coordination between the central metal of the carrier and thiocyanate.

Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of a novel zinc phthalocyanine with four 17-membered crown ether voids

A novel zinc phthalocyanine containing four 17-crown-5 ether voids(17C5ZnPc) has been synthesized and characterized. UV-visible absorption and fluorescence emission spectra and as-sociated photophysical parameters have been determined. In contrast to most of the crown ether substituted phthalocyanines, no cofacial dimer formation is observed in the presence of alkali metal salts. In addition to the fluorescence at 710 nm from S1, a strong upper excited state (Soret 52) emission around 424 nm has been detected for the first time in the phthalocyanine series. Fluorescence decay of S1 and S2 emission can be analyzed by mono- and biexponential fits respectively. X-ray structure analysis showed that the crown ether unit is conformationally deformed and oblate that may account for the unusual spectroscopic properties.     

Low-energy electron-induced processes in fluorinated copper phthalocyanine films observed by F- desorption: why so little damage?

As an indication of damage induced by hot electrons in an organic electronic material, the desorption of F- ions from a thin perfluorinated copper phthalocyanide film on SiO2 under low-energy (0-25 eV) electron impact has been recorded mass spectrometrically. Yields and damage cross sections are very low. No strong features due to negative ion resonances are found in the electron energy dependence of the desorption yield; rather the yield function rises from a threshold at about 5-6 eV continuously (with some weak structure) throughout the measured range. We discuss these findings in terms of the electronic structure of the film, as well as parameters influencing the relevant bond breaking process. We emphasize the strong influence of energy redistribution, which quenches normally long-lived negative ion resonances and selects localized and strongly repulsive excitations, as often observed in electronically induced bond breaking at surfaces. The improved understanding should be helpful in the selection of low-damage materials for organic semiconductor devices and for selection of operation parameters.

Tualang honey protects keratinocytes from ultraviolet radiation-induced inflammation and DNA damage(†)

Malaysian tualang honey possesses strong antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. Here, we evaluated the effect of tualang honey on early biomarkers of photocarcinogenesis employing PAM212 mouse keratinocyte cell line. Keratinocytes were treated with tualang honey (1.0%, v/v) before a single UVB (150 mJ cm^?2) irradiation. We found that the treatment of tualang honey inhibited UVB‐induced DNA damage, and enhanced repair of UVB‐mediated formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and 8‐oxo‐7,8‐dihydro‐2′‐deoxyguanosine. Treatment of tualang honey inhibited UVB‐induced nuclear translocation of NF‐κB and degradation of IκBα in murine keratinocyte cell line. The treatment of tualang honey also inhibited UVB‐induced inflammatory cytokines and inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expression. Furthermore, the treatment of tualang honey inhibited UVB‐induced COX‐2 expression and PGE2 production. Taken together, we provide evidence that the treatment of tualang honey to keratinocytes affords substantial protection from the adverse effects of UVB radiation via modulation in early biomarkers of photocarcinogenesis and provide suggestion for its photochemopreventive potential.

Heteroaggregation between porphyrin and phthalocyanine bearing oppositely charged substituents

Heteroaggregates composed of cationic porphyrin, meso-tetra(p-trimethylamino)-porphyrin iodide, its zinc complex and anionic phthalocyanine sodium hydroxygallium 4,4',4",4"'-tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine have been investigated by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. It has been found that both free base cationic porphyrin and its zinc complex can form very stable heterodimers with anionic phthalocyanine in water, methanol and dhnethylfonnamide. The stability of the aggregate depends on the polarity as well as the ligation ability of the solvent. No evidence of higher aggregates was detected. Besides axial coordination, steric hindrance which influence the relative orientation of the macrocycles are considered.     

Study on catalytic oxidation of planar binuclear copper phthalocyanine on 2-mercaptoethanol

Mononuclear copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and binuclear copper phthalocyanine (Cu2Pc2) were synthesized by the phenylanhydride-urea route, and their catalytic oxidation activity on 2-mercaptoethanol was studied. Based on the experimental results, a catalytic mechanism of Cu2Pc2 on 2-mercaptoethanol has been proposed. Furthermore, the effects of pH, Cu2Pc2 concentration, and temperature on the catalytic oxidation activity were evaluated. The results showed that CuPc has no catalytic activity, while Cu2Pc2 has high catalytic oxidation activity towards 2-mercaptoethanol with the optimal activity at pH 11. The reaction can further be enhanced by increasing Cu2Pc2 concentration and temperature, due to its endothermic characteristics.

Energy transfer from C-phycocyanin to phthalocyanine metal complex in reverse micelles

A new mimic system of photosynthetic apparatus was constructed from C-phycocyanin and phthalocyanine zinc. C-PC was solubilized in the reverse micelles of non ionic surfactant Tween-80, cosurfactant pentanol, and solvent cyclohexane, in which the overall concentration of surfactant was 20% (w/v) and the mass ratio of Tween-80 to pentanol was 4:1. When the molar ratio of water to Tween-80 (R_w)≥9.0, the characteristic properties of C-PC were maintained. When it was excited, the energy transfer from C-PC to phthalocyanine zinc took place. The energy transfer efficiency was only related with the concentration of phthalocyanine, but not that of C-PC. Furthermore, the energy transfer was roughly in keeping with Perrin formulation, which indicated that the energy transfer took place approximately through dipole-dipole interaction in rigid system. The radii of the quenching sphere were calculated from the experimental results. For example, when the concentration of phthalocyanine zinc was 2.10 × 10~(-4) mol/     

碳纳米纤维增强钴酞菁催化氧化染料的性能研究

将氨基钴酞菁（CoTAPc）以共价键的形式负载到碳纳米纤维（CNF）上制备碳纳米纤维负载钴酞菁催化剂（CoTAPc-CNF）,利用原子吸收光谱、紫外-可见光吸收光谱、衰减全反射-红外光谱等方法对CoTAPc-CNF进行表征.选用具有氧杂蒽结构的罗丹明6G（Rh6G）为主要研究对象,研究CoTAPc-CNF对Rh6G的催化氧化性能,考察了温度、pH、NaCl、异丙醇等对CoTAPc-CNF催化性能的影响.结果表明,CoTAPc-CNF在常温中性条件下能有效催化氧化Rh6G;随着温度和pH的增加,CoTAPc-CNF催化氧化Rh6G速率逐渐提高;NaCl和异丙醇的加入,没有抑制催化氧化反应的进行,相反大大提高了Rh6G的降解速率,这与一般羟基自由基占主导的高级氧化体系完全不同;进一步采用电子顺磁共振波谱法证实CoTAPc-CNF/H2O2体系确实为非羟基自由基催化机理.另外,研究发现CoTAPc-CNF还能有效催化氧化其他共轭结构的染料,如偶氮染料酸性橙7（AO7）、三芳甲烷染料碱性绿1（BG1）.因此,本文探索的CoTAPc-CNF/H2O2非羟基自由基催化反应体系在处理成分复杂的实际印染废水中具有较好的应用前景.

Synthesis and electrochemical behavior of novel peripherally and non-peripherally substituted ball-type cobalt phthalocyanine complexes

The syntheses of new ball-type Co(II) phthalocyanines containing 4,4′-(9H-fluorene-9,9-diyl)diphenol substituents at non-peripheral (complex 6) and peripheral (complex 7) positions are presented. These complexes were characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, mass spectroscopy and electrochemical methods. Both complexes exhibit metal and ring based redox processes, typical of cobalt phthalocyanine complexes. For 6, the metal based reduction was observed at −0.46 V followed by a ring based reduction at −1.40 V. The metal oxidation for 6 was observed at +0.16 V and the ring based oxidation at +1.05 V. For 7, reductions are easier but the oxidations are more difficult. The metal based reduction for 7 was observed at −0.38 V followed by a ring based reduction at −1.03 V. The metal oxidation for 7 was observed at +0.20 V and the ring based oxidation at +1.35 V.
