Oxidation of ascorbic acid in the presence of phthalocyanine metal complexes. Chemical aspects of catalytic anticancer therapy. 1. Catalysis of oxidation by cobalt octacarboxyphthalocyanine

The kinetics of oxidation of ascorbic acid in the presence of cobalt octa-4,5-carboxyphthalocyanine sodium salt (Teraphthal) was studied. A kinetic equation was obtained and a scheme of the process was proposed. According to the scheme, the first stage is the formation of a complex of the catalyst with dioxygen, and the limiting stage is the reaction of dioxygen with the ascorbate monoanion. The influence of the pH of the medium and the presence of a transport protein (albumin) on the state and catalytic activity of Teraphthal was studied. The involvement of hydrogen peroxide and oxygen-centered radicals in the catalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid was proved.     

双核金属酞菁类化合物催化脱硫机理研究Ⅳ──中心金属离子对MPc－PcM催化活性的影响

实验研究结果表明双核金属酞菁类化合物ＭＰｃ－ＰｃＭ（Ｍ＝Ｖ、Ｃｒ、Ｍｎ、Ｆｅ、Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、Ｃｕ）是催化Ｈ＿２Ｓ液相氧化反应的良好催化剂，且其催化活性顺序为Ｃｏ＞Ｎｉ＞Ｖ＞Ｆｅ＞Ｃｕ＞Ｃｒ＞Ｍｎ．采用量子化学理论计算方法（ＩＮＤＯ／Ｓ）分析了其前线分子轨道的构成特征，结果表明这几种ＭＰｃ－ＰｃＭ的ＬＵＭＯ轨道皆为有金属离子参与形成的π轨道，但ＨＯＭＯ轨道间的差异却很大．Ｍ＝Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、Ｃｕ、Ｃｒ时，其ＨＯＭＯ为π轨道；而Ｍ＝Ｆｅ、Ｍｎ时，其ＨＯＭＯ却为σ轨道．正是在前线分子轨道的轨道类型、共轭程度及金属轨道贡献三方面因素的协同作用下，才导致ＭＰｃ－ＰｃＭ的催化活性顺序并非按中心金属离子价电子层ｄ电子数的递变而呈现出规律性的变化．

Comparison of the photophysics of an aggregating and non-aggregating aluminium phthalocyanine system incorporated into unilamellar vesicles

The hydrophobic sensitizer, aluminium phthalocyanine chloride (AIPcCI), and the amphiphilic sensitizer, cis-disulphonated aluminium phthalocyanine (cis-AIPcS₂), were incorporated into small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) and large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). AIPcCI exhibits aggregation, which increases with increasing sensitizer concentration, whereas cis-AlPcS₂ is monomeric at all concentrations studied. Complex fluorescence decays are observed, showing decay time distributions which broaden with increasing phthalocyanine concentration. The phthalocyanine aggregate, although non-fluorescent, influences the overall photophysical behaviour of the phthalocyanine-vesicle system. The effect of aggregation on the resulting photophysics of phthalocyanines was investigated by comparing aggregated and non-aggregated phthalocyanine systems. The implications for photodynamic therapy (PDT) are briefly discussed.     

Trapping Copper Phthalocyanine in a Silica Sono-Xerogel

A copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) has been encapsulated in silica. The trapping effects were studied comparing the UV-Vis absorption spectra of some CuPc solutions and composites prepared under different conditions. The trapped organic molecules’ stability was monitored during the gelation and drying processes. Leachability test have been carried out with the aim of checking the trapping efficiency. Hydrolysis water of pH=2 and a molar ratioR _w =6 mol acid H₂O/mol TMOS leads to a higher CuPc stacking angle homogeneity. The increase of Pc induces a narrower mesopore distribution and helps the stabilization of the composite.     

Interaction of nitric oxide with cobalt(II) phthalocyanine: kinetics, equilibria and electrocatalytic studies

The coordination of nitric oxide (NO) to cobalt(II) phthalocyanine (CoPc) in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) has been studied. CoPc coordinates with NO in a 1:1 ratio, forming a CoPc(NO) species. The IR band observed at 1680 cm⁻¹ is assigned to the coordinated NO. In the presence of excess NO, pseudo first order kinetics were followed. The observed rate constant, k_f, was determined to be 15.0±0.3 dm⁻³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ and the equilibrium constant was K=5.4±0.4×10⁴dm³ mol⁻¹. Solution or adsorbed CoPc catalyses the reduction of NO. The products of reduction include NH₃ and NH₂OH.     

Studies on tetra-amine phthalocyanines

Metal(II) tetranitro phthalocyanines of cobalt, nickel and copper are synthesized in pure state by a novel modified method. The complexes are characterized using elemental, electronic and IR spectral studies. Pure metal(II) tetra-amino phthalocyanines of cobalt, nickel and copper are synthesized by reducing the nitro groups of the above complexes using sodium sulphide. These complexes are also characterized by elemental, electronic, IR spectral and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The nature of the electrical conductivities of the above three metal(II) tetra-amino phthalocyanine derivatives are studied in the temperature range 303-473 K and the data are presented. Among the effect of various substituent groups on the electrical conducting property of phthalocyanine, amine group substituent on the peripheral benzene ring of the phthalocyanine molecule has been found to increase electrical conductivity to a greatest extent. These complexes showed about 10⁵-10⁶ times higher electrical conductivities compared to their parent phthalocyanine compounds.     

Solid-contact potentiometric sensor for ascorbic acid based on cobalt phthalocyanine nanoparticles as ionophore

A novel solid-contact potentiometric sensor for ascorbic acid based on cobalt phthalocyanine nanoparticles (NanoCoPc) as ionophore was fabricated without any need of auxiliary materials (such as membrane matrix, plasticizer, and other additives). The electrode was prepared by simple drop-coating NanoCoPc colloid on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode. A smooth, bright and blue thin film was strongly attached on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. The electrode showed high selectivity for ascorbic acid, as compared with many common anions. The influences of the amount of NanoCoPc at the electrode surface and pH on the response characteristics of the electrode were investigated. To overcome the instability of the formal potential of the coated wire electrode, a novel electrochemical pretreatment method was proposed for the potentiometric sensor based on redox mechanism. This resulting sensor demonstrates potentiometric response over a wide linear range of ascorbic acid concentration (5.5 × 10⁻⁷ to 5.5 × 10⁻² M) with a fast response (<15 s), lower detection limit (ca. 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ M), and a long-term stability. Furthermore, microsensors based on different conductors (carbon fiber and Cu wire) were also successfully fabricated for the determination of practical samples.
