Abstract

The synthesis of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins have become growing consistently due to their applications in technological and medical processes, which involve chemical modifications by introducing different substituents and metal ions in the macrocycle ring. These modifications cause changes in the spectroscopic properties of these compounds resulting from the disturbance of the π conjugated system. Therefore, this work involves the synthesis, characterization and investigation of the spectroscopic properties of two meso porphyrins with different side chains, the 5,10,15,20-tetra[4-(2-(3-n-pentadecilfenoxi) ethoxy] phenilporphyrin and 5,10,15,20-tetrahydro-4-[3-(3-n-pentadecilfenoxi)propoxy] phenilporphyrin, both derived from cardanol, one of the components of the cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), further obtaining the metalated complex with the Terbium ion [Tb (3-n-PDPP)(acac)]. The absorption spectrum of the UV-Vis meso porphyrins, presented a set of bands which are consistent with the meso structures: a Soret band λ = 422 and 424 nm and four Q bands between 500 and 649 nm. The fluorescence spectrum from porphyrins meso showed an intense emission band λ = 654-658 nm and another low intensity at λ = 713-716 nm. The excitation spectrum showed the same absorption spectrum profile, showing that the emission arises from absorption of the Soret and Q bands, generating fluorescent radiative transition. As for the metalated form [Tb (3-n-PDPP) (acac)], factors like the choice of Terbium salt, solvent and reaction stoichiometry were determinant to obtain it. The characterization analysis of the complex gave the following results: reduction the number of Q bands; absence of the signal relating to the central porphyrin hydrogens in the 1H NMR spectrum (-2,4 ppm); presence of a band characteristic of the axial deformation of the C=O group regarding the axial ligand acetylacetonate; the presence of three bands at λ = 597 nm, λ = 654 nm and λ = 718 nm on the fluorescence emission spectrum. It was also determined the quantum yield of the two porphyrin free base and complexes with the metal ions zinc and terbium, in order to verify the influence of metal ion and the side substituents on the spectroscopic properties of these compounds.
