Exploring a synthesized series of β- bromo‑substituted copper porphyrins for the degradation of Tetracycline and Ciprofloxacin from contaminated water

Key Points

• Effective degradation of tetracycline and ciprofloxacin achieved through copper porphyrins.
• Degradation rates were significant, reaching over 80% within 120 minutes of exposure.
• Experiment utilized synthesized β-bromo-substituted copper porphyrins for photocatalytic action.
• Findings highlight the potential of copper porphyrins in addressing pharmaceutical contaminants in water.
