CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System

IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.

Two unsymmetric meso-tetraferrocenyl-containing porphyrins of general formula Fc3(FcCOR)Por (Fc=ferrocenyl, R=CH3 or (CH2)5Br, Por=porphyrin) were prepared and characterized by a variety of spectroscopic methods, whereas their redox properties were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) approaches. The mixed-valence [Fc3(FcCOR)Por]n+ (n=1,3) were investigated using spectroelectrochemical as well as chemical oxidation methods and corroborated with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Inter-valence charge-transfer (IVCT) transitions in [Fc3(FcCOR)Por]+ were analyzed, and the resulting data matched closely previously reported complexes and were assigned as Robin–Day class II mixed-valence compounds. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of a thioacetyl derivative (Fc3(FcCO(CH2)5SCOCH3)Por) were also prepared and characterized. Photoelectrochemical properties of SAMs in different electrolyte systems were investigated by electrochemical techniques and photocurrent generation experiments, showing that the choice of electrolyte is critical for efficiency of redox-active SAMs.
