Description

3,8,13-Tris(Carboxymethyl)-B2(B7-,B12 Or B18)-Hydroxy-17-Methyl-21H,23H-Porphine-2,7,12,18-Tetrapropanoic Acid is a complex, multi-functionalized porphine derivative, a key structural motif in advanced chemical synthesis and materials science. This compound matters as a sophisticated precursor or intermediate for developing specialized catalysts, photosensitizers, and functional dyes due to its tunable electronic properties and metal-chelating capabilities. It is primarily needed by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and specialty chemical manufacturers working on photodynamic therapy agents, organic semiconductors, and novel coordination complexes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a key intermediate in the synthesis of novel porphyrin-based compounds for photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents targeting cancer and antimicrobial applications.
• Catalysis: Serving as a ligand precursor for creating highly selective and efficient metal-complex catalysts used in organic transformations and industrial chemical processes.
• Advanced Materials Science: Utilized in the development of organic semiconductors, molecular wires, and components for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) due to its extended π-conjugated system.
• Analytical Chemistry: Acting as a chelating agent or a colorimetric sensor probe for the detection and quantification of specific metal ions in analytical methods.
• Specialty Dyes & Pigments: Functioning as a core structure for synthesizing high-performance, stable dyes with specific light-absorption properties for niche industrial applications.
• Biomimetic Chemistry: Used in studies modeling the active sites of heme-containing enzymes like cytochromes and peroxidases for mechanistic investigations.

Quality Control

Our 3,8,13-Tris(Carboxymethyl)-B2(B7-,B12 Or B18)-Hydroxy-17-Methyl-21H,23H-Porphine-2,7,12,18-Tetrapropanoic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high-purity standards typical for research-grade intermediates. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and should be handled with appropriate precautions for chemicals soluble in strong acid/organic solvent. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to protect from moisture and atmospheric contaminants.
