Abstract: | We study the interaction between tin(II) porphyrin (SnPor) with platinum and
non-precious Group 8B metals (iron, cobalt and nickel) by density functional
theory and discuss the electronic properties of the resulting products. We
also model the interaction of the resulting compounds with water where
applicable. Our studies indicate that, SnPor-Ni possesses electronic
properties similar to SnPor-Pt, suggesting that it may possess similar
photocatalytic properties for reduction reactions, such as converting water
to hydrogen gas. |
