Spectrophotometric detection of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in water using water soluble porphyrins

Early events in 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) degradation by porphyrins: Binding of TNT to porphyrin by hydrophobic and hydrogen bonds

“…Porphyrins have been used for the detection of hazardous, toxic gases, environmental pollutants, nitroaromatic compounds, insecticides, and pesticides [12][13][14][15][16][17]. We are not aware of a systematic study of the dependence of the interaction of TNT with porphyrins on the temperature of the solution.…”

The electrochemical oxidation of pentachlorophenol and its sensitive determination at chitosan modified carbon paste electrode

“…Several methods have been developed for the deter mination of PCP, including gas chromatography [6], high performance liquid chromatography [7], mem brane solid phase extraction [8], solid phase microextration [9], capillary electrophoresis [10], mass spectrometry [11], spectrophotometery [12], ellipsometry [13], phosphorescence [14], fluorescence [15], electrochemiluminescence [16], photoelectro chemical immunosensor [17] and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay [18], etc. However, most of them are expensive and time consuming.…”

Development of 2-Chlorophenol Sensor Based on a Fiber Optic Oxygen Transducer via Oxidation Reaction Catalyzed by Tetranitro Iron (II) Phthalocyanine

“…Due to their high toxicity, persistence to natural biodegradation, and possible biological accumulation in plant and animal bodies, many country's environmental management departments have listed them as the priority pollutants. Therefore, some fast and sensitive methods are developed for monitoring these chlorophenol pollutants, especially the soluble chlorophenol in water environment [13]. Currently, liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy as well as gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy is suitable for selective determination of individual chlorophenol compound [14].…”
