Description

Zinc(II) Tetrakis(4-Carboxyphenyl)Porphine is a metalloporphyrin complex where a zinc ion is coordinated within a porphine macrocycle functionalized with four carboxylic acid groups. This compound matters as a versatile functional material and catalyst, prized for its unique photophysical and electrochemical properties derived from its conjugated porphyrin structure. It is needed by researchers and manufacturers in advanced material science, particularly for applications in organic electronics, photodynamic therapy, and as a building block for Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs).

Application

• Photosensitizer for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): Utilized in medical research for its ability to generate reactive oxygen species upon light activation, targeting cancer cells.
• Building Block for Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Serves as a multi-dentate organic linker to construct porous, crystalline materials for gas storage, separation, and catalysis.
• Organic Semiconductor Material: Incorporated into thin films and devices for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and photovoltaic cells due to its charge transport properties.
• Catalytic Research: Acts as a model catalyst or catalyst precursor in studies of oxidation reactions and artificial photosynthesis.
• Chemical Sensor Development: Used in the fabrication of sensitive layers for optical or electrochemical sensors targeting specific gases or ions.
• Dye and Pigment Research: Investigated as a precursor for high-stability, functional dyes with specific light-absorption characteristics.
