Description

Cobalt Tetrakis(2-Aminophenyl)Porphyrin is a functionalized metalloporphyrin complex where a cobalt ion is coordinated within a porphyrin macrocycle bearing four peripheral aminophenyl groups. This molecular architecture makes it a highly versatile catalyst and a critical precursor for advanced materials synthesis. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in fields requiring precise molecular control and catalytic activity. The compound is supplied under the CAS registry number 96481-61-7.

Application

• Catalysis Research: Acts as a model catalyst for studying oxygen reduction reactions (ORR), carbon dioxide reduction, and other small molecule activation processes.
• Sensor Development: Used as a sensing element in electrochemical and optical sensors for gases and biological analytes due to its redox-active cobalt center and tunable electronic properties.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Serves as a building block for constructing Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic polymers (COPs), and other porous materials where the amino groups facilitate further functionalization.
• Biomimetic Studies: Employed to mimic the structure and function of heme-containing enzymes like cytochromes P450 for mechanistic investigations and synthetic chemistry applications.
• Organic Electronics: Investigated as a component in organic photovoltaic cells and light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to its strong absorption and charge transport characteristics.
• Dye and Pigment Intermediate: The porphyrin core and functional groups make it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing specialized dyes and pigments.

Quality Control

Our Cobalt Tetrakis(2-Aminophenyl)Porphyrin is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including spectroscopic identification and purity assessment. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity, the product should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation and stored away from strong oxidizing agents.
