Abstract: | The quenching of fluorescence of the free-base tetraphenylporphyrin, H2TPP, and its metal derivatives, MgTPP and ZnTPP by diverse iron(III) complexes, Fe(CN)6]3−, Fe(acac)3, Fe(mnt)2]−, Fe(Salen)Cl, Fe4S4(SPh)4]2−·, FeTPPCl and Fe(Cp)2]+ has been studied both in homogeneous medium (CH3CN) and micellar media, SDS., CTAB and Triton X-100. The quenching efficiencies are analysed in terms of diffusional encounters
and it has been possible to separate static quenching components. The quenching constants are dependent on the nature of the
ligating atoms around iron(III) and also on the extent of π-conjugation of the ligands. The quenching mechanism has been investigated
using steady-state irradiation experiments. Evidence for oxidative quenching by iron(III) complexes was obtained, though the
spin multiplicities of the excited electronic states of iron(III) complexes permit both energy and electron transfer mechanisms
for quenching of the singlet excited state of the porphyrins. |
