A new water soluble fluorene-based polyelectrolyte containing on-chain porphyrin units has been synthesized via Suzuki coupling, for use in optoelectronic devices. The material consist of a random copolymer of poly{1,4-phenylene-[9,9-bis(4-phenoxy butylsulfonate)]fluorene-2,7-diyl} (PBS-PFP) and a 5,15-diphenylporphyrin (DPP). The energy transfer process between the PBS-PFP units and the porphyrin has been inve...
Os coloridos bordados de Castelo Branco (Portugal) constituíram o mote para o desenvolvimento de um projeto que valoriza a relação entre os contextos formais e não formais na educação em química e na formação de professores e animadores culturais. A questão central prende-se com a possibilidade de identificar e obter os corantes antigos e atuais usados para tingir a seda. Apresentam-se duas atividades experimen...
Various 5-carboxamido-7-iodo-8-benzyloxyquinolines were synthesised via selective aminocarbonylation of 5,7-diiodo-8-benzyloxyquinoline in the presence of ‘in situ’ generated palladium(0) catalysts. Under similar conditions (50 °C, 80 bar CO), 5,7-bis(N-tert-butyl-glyoxylamido)-8-hydroxyquinoline was obtained using tert-butylamine as N-nucleophile. The unprotected 5,7-diiodo-8-hydroxyquinoline underwent dehydro...
A síntese orgânica representou um marco capital no História do Química, conduzindo ao fim da filosofia vitalista que considerava que as substâncias constitutivas dos animais e das plantas eram de natureza diferente dos corpos minerais, não obedecendo as mesmas leis, nem podendo ser feitas em laboratório. Quase dois séculos volvidos, a filosofia emergente e, agora, a de uma síntese verde, ambientalmente mais sus...
A laboratory experiment that enables the professor to introduce the problematic of sustainable development in pharmaceutical chemistry to undergraduate students is proposed, using a simple synthetic procedure. Cholesteryl acetate is prepared by the esterification of cholesterol using Montmorillonite K10 as heterogeneous catalyst. Cholesterol and cholesteryl acetate are characterized by spectroscopic (¹H RMN, 13...
Kaurenic and grandiflorenic acids are naturally occurring diterpenes whose biological activity has been described. Both acids contain an exocyclic methylenic double bond that allows further functionalization on their structure. In an attempt to expand the number of derivatives of these two natural products, we have undertaken a study on the hydroformylation of the methyl esters of the two acids and the trimethy...
Porphyrins are key precursors for development of photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy. A new series of ortho-halogenated tetraarylporphyrins with sulfonamide substituents have been synthesized via chlorosulfonation reaction and characterized by MALDI-TOFMS. To predict their partition properties, log KOW of a selected range of the synthesized halogenated amphiphilic porphyrins is described. A significant ef...
Time-resolved photoacoustic calorimetry is used to measure the energy released upon injection of an electron from an electronically excited dye adsorbed to nanocrystalline TiO2 into the conduction band of this material. More energy is released when the environment of the dye is made less polar, because the energy of the dye-oxidized state has a more pronounced solvent dependence than the edge of the conduction ...
Abstract The photodegradation of the herbicides atrazine and ametryn with visible light in aerated neutral aqueous solutions and 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (2,6-dichloro-3-sulfophenyl) porphyrin or 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (4-sulfophenyl) porphyrin as sensitizers are reported for the first time. Our findings show that the degradation percentage reached 30% for atrazine and 63% for ametryn. The final photoproducts we...
