Electroconductive films based on amino-substituted tetraphenylporphyrins and their metal copper complexes
Abstract
Amino-substituted tetraphenylporphyrins (5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4′-aminophenyl)porphyrin, 5-(4′-aminophenyl)–10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin) and their copper complexes in dichloromethane and ethanol were electropolymerized by the cyclic voltammetry method and their electrochemical properties were studied. The polyporphyrin films obtained by electro-oxidation transmit electricity and possess semiconductor properties of different types. The poly-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4′-aminophenyl)porphyrin films obtained from different solvents are similar to each other in chemical composition but different in morphology. The polyporphyrin film surface morphology was studied by AFM microscopy.
