Abstract:A method for the grafting of unsymmetrical A2BC-type 5,15-bis(4-butoxyphenyl)-10-(4-carboxyphenyl)-20-(phenanthrenoimidazolyl)-porphyrin onto the surface of nanostructured aluminum oxyhydroxide modified with a single SiO2 layer (NAOM) was successfully developed. A straightforward procedure towards surface modification of NAOM allowed us to prepare a new porphyrin-containing hybrid material. The obtained 3D heterostructure was extensively characterized using XPS, TEM and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Struct… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
