Abstract Details

2005, Master of Science, University of Akron, Chemistry.
The photophysical properties of both the interior and exterior protonated tautomers of N-confused tetraphenylporphyrin (NCTPP) in coordinating and non-coordinating solvents were investigated using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition, a series of zinc N-confused tetraphenylporphyrins (Zn(NCTPP)) with a ligand coordinated at the axial site were synthesized from the methods of Girolami, Rauchfuss, and Angelici, and crystallized via slow solvent diffusion. The series includes Zn4 (NCTPP)2 (O2CCH3)3(OH), Zn(NCTPP)(DMSO), and Zn(NCTPP)(Pyridine). The objectives of this research were to probe the reasons normal tetrapyrroles are the macrocycle of choice in biological systems, metallate NCTPP with biologically relevant transition metals, coordinate derivatives of biological ligands to the metal center, and characterize the resultant compounds. We found that Zn4(NCTPP)2(O2CCH3)3(OH) is a model compound for the zinc-dependent aminopeptidase in Aeromonas proteolytica.
