Synthesis of low melting point porphyrins: A quest for new materials
Abstract
Preparation of porphyrins which do not aggregate, possessing low melting points is an endearing challenge for several applications in materials science. In this contribution a viewpoint regarding the synthesis of low melting point porphyrins, is presented. Herein we review the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical substituted porphyrins that hold the possibility to be used in several materials science applications and present new results on the spectroscopic and thermal characterization of some low melting point meso-tetrasubstituted porphyrins.
Dedicated to Professor Tomás Torres on the occasion of his 65th birthday

Experimental set-up for infrared and thermogravimetry measurements:Infrared spectra were obtained directly by reflectance on a spectrophotometer model FTIR Nicolet iS10 (Thermo Scientific), within the 4,000–600 cm range, using an attenuated total reflection (ATR) accessory with a germanium crystal as holder. Simultaneous thermogravimetry (TG)–differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves were obtained with thermal analysis system, model TGA/DSC 1 Stare System (Mettler Toledo). The purge gas was an air flow of 50 mL min. A heating rate of 10 C.minwas adopted, with samples weighing about 5 mg. Alumina crucible was used for TG–DSC curves. Power compensation DSC was carried out with Perkin-Elmer Pyris 1 instrument using dry nitrogen, N50, at a flow rate 20 mL/min for purging gas. Aluminum pans 30 l hermetically sealed were prepared for the sample (masses between 1.70 mg and 2.92 mg) and for the reference. Temperature calibration and apparatus was performed with biphenyl (CRM, LGC 2610, X >99.9%), Tfus 68.93 C and indium (Perkin-Elmer, 99.9%), Tfus 156.6 C. The indium was used in the enthalpy calibrations (fusH (3286 ± 13) J.mol. These values are in very good agreement with those reported in the literature (Refs. 26 and 27). The hot stage/DSC video microscopy study was carried out using a Linkam DSC600 system. The optical equipment attached to the hot stage system consists of a DMRB Leica microscope fitted with polarized light facilities to which a Sony CCD-IRIS/RGB video camera is attached. A Linkam system software with Real Time Video Measurement was used for image analysis. A small amount of the sample to be studied was placed in a glass crucible used as a cell, which was covered with a glass lid. Thermal cycles were followed by 200 × magnification and the images obtained by combined use of polarized light and wave compensators. The thermal program for the microscope examination was run at 10 C.min. Google Scholar
