Electropolymerization of cobalto(5,10,15-tris(4-aminophenyl)-20-phenylporphyrin) for electrochemical detection of antioxidant-antipyrine

Porphyrins are a kind of aromatic molecules possessing unique physic-chemical properties. In this manuscript, it was thus utilized to synthesize 5,10,15-tris(4-aminophenyl)-20-phenylporphyrin and cobalto(5,10,15-tris(4-aminophenyl)-20-phenylporphyrin). In addition, conducting cobalto(5,10,15-tris(4-aminophenyl)-20-phenylporphyrin) polymeric films were successfully prepared by electropolymerization approach on glassy carbon electrode in the presence of dimethyl formamide solution and 0.1 M tetra-n-butyl ammonium perchlorate at 100 mV/s scan rate. The synthesized polymeric films were evaluated as the active electrode materials to detect an antioxidant (Antipyrine) present in pharmaceuticals and the limit of detection is similar to 74 mu M.
