Investigation of Free Base, Mg, Sn, and Zn Substituted Porphyrin LB Films as Gas Sensors for Organic Analytes
文摘
The visible absorption spectra of various substituted porphyrin compounds both in chloroform solution andas Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) solid-state films have been investigated. The porphyrin compounds examinedwere the Zn, Sn, Mg, and free base derivatives of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3,4-bis(2-ethylhexyloxy)phenyl]-21H,23H-porphine (EHO). Changes in the absorption spectra of these materials induced by their exposure tovarious organic compounds are reported with a view toward determining whether this is a useful approachtoward an optical gas sensor.
