Porphyrine

Résumé

Les porphyrines sont des molécules à structures cycliques impliquées dans le transport du dioxygène et pouvant jouer le rôle de cofacteur lié (groupement prosthétique) à certaines enzymes. Elles entrent dans la composition de l’hémoglobine, dans le globule rouge (où l'on parle alors de Porphyrine érythrocytaire) et tiennent donc une place importante dans le métabolisme respiratoire. Sous forme de chlorines, elles entrent également dans la composition des chlorophylles, et occupent ainsi également une place centrale dans le métabolisme de la photosynthèse. Les propriétés physiques de ces structures naturellement fluorescentes en font également des fluorophores de choix pour marquer des réactifs biologiques (anticorps, nucléotides…). Historique Le terme porphyrine provient du grec porphura qui signifie violet (pourpre), cette couleur était celle d'un pigment extrait d'un coquillage utilisé dans l'antiquité pour teindre les tissus. La découverte des porphyrines est intimeme

A Porphyrin-Involved Benzene-1,3,5-Tricarboxamide Dendrimer (Por-BTA) as a Multifunctional Interface Material for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Yi Zhang, Bing Zhang, Peng Zhao

Surface defects of perovskite films are the major sources of nonradiative recombination which limit the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Surface passivation represents one of the most efficient strategies to solve this problem. Herein, for the first time we designed a porphyrin-involved benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide dendrimer (Por-BTA) as a multifunctional interface material between the interface of the perovskite and the hole-transporting layer (spiro-OMeTAD) for the surface passivation of perovskite films. The results suggested that Por-BTA not only efficiently passivated the perovskite surface defects via the coordination of the exposed Pb2+ with the carbonyl unit and basic sites of pyrrole units in Por-BTA but also improved the interface contact and the charge transfer between the perovskite and spiro-OMeTAD ascribed to the strong intermolecular p-p stacking of Por-BTA. It was shown that the PSC devices with the Por-BTA treatment exhibited improved power conversion efficiency with the champion of 22.30% achieved (21.30% for the control devices), which is mainly attributed to the increased short-circuit current density and fill factor. Interestingly, the stability of moisture for the Por-BTA-treated device was also enhanced compared to those without the Por-BTA treatment. This work presents a promising direction toward the design of multifunctional organic molecules as the interface materials to improve the cell performance of PSCs.

Do synthetic Fe-zeolites mimic biological Fe-porphyrins in reactions with nitric oxide?

Bryan Bromley, Lioubov Kiwi

Iron containing ZSM-5 zeolites is extremely active in nitrous oxide decomposition. This reaction involves atomic oxygen species known as "alpha oxygen" on iron sites. Despite the multiple techniques devoted to its characterization, the active sites' structure remains nevertheless unknown. Herein, these centers are quantified via surface titration by nitrous oxide followed by temperature programmed desorption and characterized via nitric oxide probe molecule followed by infrared spectroscopy. In this latter case, two mono-nitrosyl species differing in the bonds' geometry are observed on the iron centers. Moreover, upon NO evacuation, the two corresponding IR bands suddenly transit to lower wavenumbers. A mirror trend is also reported in biology when NO interacts with iron porphyrins and explained in terms of linear to bent Fe-N-O modification. This structural change is reversible upon addition/evacuation of NO. In the present report, the same reversible nitrosyl transition is observed for Fe-ZSM-5. Based on the close analogies found, the active site's structure in Fe-ZSM-5 is built-up from the porphyrinatoiron(II) model. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Tandem electrocatalytic CO2 reduction with Fe-porphyrins and Cu nanocubes enhances ethylene production

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice, Min Wang

Copper-based tandem schemes have emerged as promising strategies to promote the formation of multi-carbon products in the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction. In such approaches, the CO-generating component of the tandem catalyst increases the local concentration of CO and thereby enhances the intrinsic carbon-carbon (C-C) coupling on copper. However, the optimal characteristics of the CO-generating catalyst for maximizing the C-2 production are currently unknown. In this work, we developed tunable tandem catalysts comprising iron porphyrin (Fe-Por), as the CO-generating component, and Cu nanocubes (Cucub) to understand how the turnover frequency for CO (TOFCO) of the molecular catalysts impacts the C-C coupling on the Cu surface. First, we tuned the TOFCO of the Fe-Por by varying the number of orbitals involved in the pi-system. Then, we coupled these molecular catalysts with the Cu-cub and assessed the current densities and faradaic efficiencies. We discovered that all of the designed Fe-Por boost ethylene production. The most efficient Cu-cub/Fe-Por tandem catalyst was the one including the Fe-Por with the highest TOFCO and exhibited a nearly 22-fold increase in the ethylene selectivity and 100 mV positive shift of the onset potential with respect to the pristine Cu-cub. These results reveal that coupling the TOFCO tunability of molecular catalysts with copper nanocatalysts opens up new possibilities towards the development of Cu-based catalysts with enhanced selectivity for multi-carbon product generation at low overpotential.
