Description

5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(4-Carboxyphenyl)Porphinatocopper(II) is a metalloporphyrin complex where a copper(II) ion is coordinated within a porphyrin macrocycle functionalized with four peripheral carboxyphenyl groups. This compound matters for its unique photophysical and electrochemical properties, making it a valuable functional material and catalyst precursor. It is needed by researchers and manufacturers in advanced materials science, particularly for applications in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), organic electronics, and as a building block for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Application

• Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs): Acts as a photosensitizer or a component in the light-harvesting layer due to its strong absorption in the visible spectrum.
• Catalysis: Serves as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in oxidation reactions and organic transformations, leveraging the redox-active copper center.
• Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Used as a tetravalent organic linker or a metalloligand to construct porous, functional coordination polymers for gas storage or separation.
• Chemical Sensors: Employed in the development of optical or electrochemical sensors for gases and small molecules, where its properties change upon analyte binding.
• Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Research: Investigated as a potential photosensitizer in biomedical research for cancer treatment.
• Organic Electronics: Incorporated into thin films for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) or field-effect transistors (OFETs).
• Supramolecular Chemistry: Serves as a key building block for constructing complex, self-assembled nanostructures and host-guest systems.
