A two-step cathodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) in aqueous solution has been reported for the first time. ECL generates upon sweeping from -0.2 V to -1.5 V using potassium peroxydisulfate (K2S2O8) as a reductive-oxidative coreactant. Two cathodic ECL peaks are found simultaneously. One appears at -0.8 V which is corresponding to the reduction of TCPP, another is at -1.1 V that is attributed to the reduction of K2S2O8. ECL efficiency (phi(ecl)) is 0.22 for TCPP using Ru(bpy)(3) (2+)/S2O82 as the standard (phi(ecl) = 1). Under the optimum conditions, ECL intensity has a linear relationship with the concentration of TCPP in the range of 2.0 x 10(-7) to 1.0 x 10(-5) mol L-1 with the detection limit of 1.7 x 10(-8) mol L-1. The practical application to determination pheophorbide which is obtained from fresh spinach leaves has been accomplished. The results demonstrate the facility and effectivity of our method for quantitative analysis of porphyrin. At the same time of building this method, the possible ECL mechanism is discussed in detail.
