Conducting poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDT) films with metalloporphyrins incorporated as the counter ions were prepared by electropolymerization of the monomer in the presence of metal-tetra(sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin anions. Cathodic reduction of oxygen on the resulting conducting polymer films was studied. The overpotential for O2 reduction on electrodes with cobalt-porphyrin complex was significantly smaller in acidic solutions than on gold. In basic solutions, the overpotential at low current densities was close to those on platinum and gold. Polymer electrode with Co-complex yielded higher limiting currents than with Fe-complex, although the Co-complex polymer electrode was a poorer electrocatalyst for O2 reduction in the activation range of potential than the Fe counterpart. From the rotating ring-disk electrode experiments, oxygen reduction was shown to proceed through either a 4-electron pathway or a 2-electron pathway. In contrast to the polypyr-role-based electrodes, the PEDT-based metalloporphyrin electrodes were stable with wider potential windows, including the oxygen reduction potential. Their electrocatalytic properties were maintained at temperatures up to 80℃ in KOH solutions.

Incorporation of metalloporphyrins into polypyrrole (PPy) film was achieved either by electropolymerization of pyrrole in the presence of metal-tetra(sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (MTSPP, M=Co, Fe) or by metalizing hydrogenated tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (H2TSPP) doped into PPy through ion-exchange. Electrochemical reduction of oxygen on the PPy doped with metallo porphyrin (PPy-MTSPP) was studied in acidic and basic solutions. Oxygen reduction on PPy-MTSPP electrodes appeared to proceed through a 4-electron pathway as well as a 2-electron path. In acidic solutions, the overpotential for O2 reduction on PPy-CoTSPP electrode was smaller than that on gold by about 0.2 V. In basic solutions the overpotential of the PPy-CoTSPP electrode in the activation range was close to those of Au and Pt. The limiting current was close to that of Au. However, polypyrrole doped with cobalt-tetra(sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (PPy-CoTSPP) or with iron-tetra(sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin anion (PPy-FeTSPP) was found to have limited potential windows at high temperatures (above 50 ℃), and hence the electrode could not be held at the oxygen reduction potentials in basic solutions (pH 13) without degradation of the polymer.

유기용매$(CH_2Cl_2,\;C_6H_6,\;CH_3NO_2,\;(CH_3)_2CO,\;CHCl_3,\;DMF,\;DMSO)$에서 Zn(II)-, Cu(II)- 및 Ni(II)-tetrakis(o-chlorophenyl)porphyrin(o-ClTPP)과 Zn(II)-, Cu(II)- 및 Ni(II)-tetraphenylporphyrin(TPP) 착물과 질소원자를 포함한 염기성 리간드(pyridine, imidazole, 1-methylimidazole 및 2,6-lutidine)간의 결합 반응성을 이온강도 0.01M에서 연구하였다. metalloporphyrin과 염기성 리간드간의 평형상수는 온도범위 15 ~ 35${\circ}C$에서 분광광도법을 이용하여 결정하였으며, 이 때 M(II)-TPP에서 관찰된 평형상수는 입체적 장애가 더 큰 M(II)-(o-Cl)TPP에서 보다 큰 값을 나타내었다. M(II)-TPP에서 logK값은 염기성 리간드의 pKa값이 커질수록 증가하였지만 입체적장애를 받는 M(II)-(o-Cl)TPP에서 logK는 리간드의 $pK_a$값에 비례하지 않았다. 열역학적 파라미터 분석결과 M(o-Cl)TPP의 안정도는 거의 반응엔트로피에 의존하였으나, M(II)-TPPL의 안정도는 반응엔탈피와 반응엔트로피에 거의 비슷한 영향을 나타내었다. metalloporphyrin에 대한 용매의 배위능을 DMF, DMSO, $CHCl_3,\;(CH_3)_2CO$에서 측정하였고, 이들 결과로부터 평형상수에 대한 용매효과를 논의하였다.

Magnesium-protoporphyrin IX (Mg-PPn), which is formed through chelation of protoporphyrin IX (PPn) with Mg ion by Mg chelatase, is the first intermediate for the (bacterio)chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway. Interestingly, Mg-PPn provides peroxidase activity (approximately $4{\times}10^{-2}units/{\mu}M$) detoxifying $H_2O_2$ in the presence of electron donor(s). The peroxidase activity was not detected unless PPn was chelated with Mg ion. Mg-PPn was found freely diffusible through the membrane of Escherichia coli and Vibrio vulnificus, protecting the cells from $H_2O_2$. Furthermore, unlike photosensitizers such as tetracycline and PPn, Mg-PPn did not show any phototoxicity, but rather it protected cell from ultraviolet (UV)-A-induced stress. Thus, the exogenous Mg-PPn could be used as an antioxidant and a UV block to protect cells from $H_2O_2$ stress and UV-induced damage.

Visible-light irradiation of MeCN solution containing di(hydroxo)metallo(tetraphenyl)porphyrin complex $(tppM(OH)_2$: 1a; $M=Sb(V)^+Br^-$, 1b; $M=P(V)^+Cl^-$, 1c; M=Ge(IV)) and 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) as a substrate under aerated condition gave bis(2-hydroxyethyl)disulfide (2-HEDS) as an oxidative product of 2-ME. It is indicated that the oxidation of 2-ME should proceed with a photocatalytic process by 1, because the turn over number (TON) for the formation of 2-HEDS was over unit. The TON was determined to be 642 as a maximum value when 1a was used as a sensitizer. The formation of 2-HDES was extremely slow under argon atmosphere. The fluorescence of 1 was not quenched by 2-ME at all, and the free energy change (${\Delta}G$) with electron transfer (ET) from 2-ME to excited triplet state of $1(^31^*)$ was estimated as a negative value. The quenching rate constant ($k_r$) of $^31^*$ by 2-ME, obtained by the kinetics for the formation of 2-HEDS, strongly depends on ${\Delta}G$. These findings indicate that 1-sensitized oxidation was initiated by photoinduced ET from 2-ME to $^31^*$ to generate both radical cation of 2-ME ($2-ME^{+\bulle}$) and porphyrin radical anion ($1^{-\bulle}$), resulting that the formation of 2-HEDS can be proceeded by the dimerization of $2-ME^{+\bulle}$, and through a catalytic cycle due to returning to 1 by the ET from $1^{-\bulle}$ to molecular oxygen.

철(III) protoporphyrin과 망간(II) tetrakis(4-N-carboxyphenyl) Porphyrin을 polystyrene divinylbenzene 공중합체 수지와 반응시켜 고분자결합 금속포피린을 합성하였다. 고분자와 결합된 포피린은 공명라만분광기를 이용, 합성과정에서 포피린과 중심금속의 산화상태 등 여러가지 화학적 성질이 변화되지 않았음으로 확인하였다. 합성된 고분자결합 금속포피린은 싸이토크롬 P-450과 같은 산화촉매효소의 모형화합물로서 과산화수소에 의한 olefin의 epoxidation과 alkane의 oxidation의 촉매로서 사용이 가능하였다. 그 효율은 고분자와 결합하지 않은 동종의 포피린에 비하여 현저히 증가되었으며, 특히 포피린이 산화제에 의해 분해되지 않아 재사용이 가능하였다. 실제 효소에서와 같이 imidazole 유도체와 같은 전자주게 배위자가 포피린 중심금속에 배위한 경우 촉매효과가 더욱 향상되었다.
