Different J-Type Aggregates of meso-Tetrakis (4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (H_(2)THPP) Formed in Different Solvents

摘要

The aggregation of meso-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (H2THPP) in dimethyl- formamide (DMF)-water solution and in DMF-chloroform solution was studied by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The red shift of Soret band indicates the formation of J-type aggregates of H2THPP in these two solutions. However, different shift extent of Soret band, 12 nm in DMF-water solution and 32 nm in DMF-chloroform solution, implies structural difference between these two J-type aggregates. The hydrogen bond between hydroxyl group and N-H bonds in porphyrin ring is thought as the main cause to the formation of J-type aggregate in DMF- chloroform solution, whereas the π?σ interaction between two adjacent porphyrin cores is thought as the main cause of the formation of J-type aggregate in DMF-water
