RESUMO

This work describes the preparation and characterization of metalloporphyrin-modified electrodes and their application in the reduction or/and oxidation of organic compounds. The studied metalloporphyrins were 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4’-methylpyridyl) porphyrinmanganese(III)hexafluorophosphate, [Mn(T4MPyP)](PF6)5, and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2’-aminophenyl)porphyrinmanganese(III)chloride, [Mn(T2APP)]Cl. These manganese porphyrins (MnP) were obtained through the reaction of commercial free base porphyrins: 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4’-methylpyridil)porphyrinchloride, [H2(T4MPyP)]Cl4, and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2’-aminophenyl)porphyrin, [H2(T2APP)], with the manganese(II) salt. [Mn(T4MPyP)]5+ was purified by recrystallization in methanol/chloroform and [Mn(T2APP)]Cl was purified by column chromatography on silica using dichloromethane/methanol (1%) as eluent. The manganese porphyrins were characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry. The modified electrodes were prepared using two different methods depending on the manganese porphyrin: a) pre-electropolymerization of pyrrole followed by adsorption of [Mn(T4MPyP)]5+ and b) polymerization of pyrrole-2-carboxyacid in the presence of [Mn(T2APP)]Cl. In both methods, vitreous carbon disk was used as electrode. The results have shown that polypyrrole/[Mn(T4MPyP)]5+ films obtained through electropolymerization of pyrrole followed by immersion in [Mn(T4MPyP)]5+ solution in phosphate buffer (pH=7.4) are strongly adsorbed on the electrode surface. They present high stability of the voltammetric signal in – 0,37 V vs. Ag/AgCl, due to Mn(III)/Mn(II) reduction. In order to prove the presence of the manganese porphyrin on the film, a similar film was prepared on the ITO electrode. It was possible to observe the characteristic manganese porphyrin Soret band in 466 nm in this modified electrode. Therefore, polypyrrole modified electrodes can incorporate the [Mn(T4MPyP)]5+ cation, giving rise to stable films. The phosphate ions probably act as counter-ions during film formation. This EQM/MnP was investigated as catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of the textile dye RR120 (red reactive 120). Although an increase in the current was observed due to Mn(III)/Mn(II) reduction, this was not significant enough for analytical purposes. This probably happens due to its smaller sensitivity if compared to the film current itself. The [Mn(T2APP)]Cl modified electrode was prepared by direct polymerization of pyrrole-2-carboxyacid in the presence of this manganese porphyrin. The electrocatalytic activity of this EQM/MnP was investigated for the electrochemical reduction of the RR120 dye. A significant increase in the current was observed, which enabled its use for analytical purposes in the case of this dye.
