Abstract:

The authors synthesized two porphyrin monomers with different substituents and four porphyrin oligomers with different bridglinked reagents according to the literatures. The electrochemical properties of the porphyrins were studied by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and compared with those of other porphyrin molecules under similar experimental conditions. It was found that porphyrin monomer linked with an electrondonating group was easy to reduce. The electrochemical properties of porphyrin oligomers were influenced by bridgelinked reagents and conjugative effect of porphyrin molecules.

Key words: porphyrin, monomer, oligomer, electrochemical property
