This research aims to analyze the structure and properties of tetrapentylporphyrin and its metal complexes.
Conducted a comprehensive spectroscopic study of free-base, zinc(II), and copper(II) tetrapentylporphyrin.
Utilized a two-step synthesis involving pyrrole and hexanal with Montmorillonite K10.
Performed electrochemical and computational analyses.
TPeP exhibited a HOMO with a 2u symmetry and was easier to oxidize than TPP or OEP analogues.
Synthesis yielded approximately 40% using the described oxidation process.
The structural analysis supports TPeP's role as a model for biological porphyrins.
