  1. Synthesis and Characterization of Metallo-tetraarylazadipyrromethene Complexes Anne Lam Damali Greenaway Mentors: Dr. Chris Hansen and Dr. Jianguo Shao July 05, 2013

  2. Objectives • To synthesize a ligand and metal complexes • To characterize complexes using Electro-chemistry, IR, and UV-visible Spectroscopy

  3. Causes for Study • Metallo-tetraarylazadipyrromethene complexes exhibit potential application as • fluorescent chemosensors-molecules that change their fluorescence in response to substrate binding • in vitro fluorophores– molecules employed in  biochemistry, protein studies, and cell analysis • photosensitive drugs in Photodynamic Therapy

  4. Jablonski Diagram for the PDTprocess Our compounds exhibit strong absorption in the visible range (400 – 780 nm).

  10. Electrochemical Introduction • A potential is applied to an electrode immersed in a solution, forcing the oxidation/reduction of the analyte. • The concentration ratio of the Oxidized and Reduced species (near the electrode) adopts a value consistent with the Nernst Equation. • The magnitude of the current is then determined by • Electron-Transfer – the oxidation or reduction of analyte • Mass- Transfer- the transport (diffusion) of analyte to or from the electrode surface in an attempt to equalize the concentrations

  19. Conclusion • All three metallo-complexes exhibit two common reversible oxidations with greater relative ease as compared to the free base ligand. • Ni and Co complexes share reductive properties from 1st and 2ndpyrrole electron additions and 3rd (and likely 4th) phenyl electron additions. • Cu complex displays unique electro-reduction properties and the first reduction takes place on the Cu(II) center. • All redox processes are diffusion-controlled.

  20. Future Work • Purification is needed for Co and Ni complexes. • Fluorescence spectra will be examined. • Are Co, Ni and Cu complexes active catalysts for the DDT reductive dechlorination? • To find the solution why Cu complex has a special electro-reduction behavior as respect to Ni and Co complexes. • Different substituted groups can be introduced into phenyl rings to fine-tune the properties.
