Study on aggregation of palladium-porphyrins using room temperature phosphorescence.
This paper reported room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) behaviors of meso-tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin palladium (Pd-TSPP) and meso-tetra-(4-trimethylaminophenyl) porphyrin palladium (Pd-TAPP) in bovine serum albumin (BSA) medium. It was found that Pd-TSPP self-aggregated with its increasing concentration and hetero-aggregated with Pd-TAPP when they were mixed together. The self-aggregation of Pd-TSPP resulted in the remarkably splitting of excitation spectra because of the strongly excitonic coupling and phosphorescence quenching excited by Soret band, while Q band always kept the increase in intensity. The hetero-aggregation was out of the ground-state interaction stronger than the former one owing to its electrostatic-interaction nature. It was also indicated that inorganic salts like KCl would be an aid to hetero-aggregation. The equilibrium constants of both kinds of aggregation were estimated, namely, K(hom)=1.9 x 10(5) l/mol (homo-aggregation), and K(het)=1.06 x 10(7) l/mol (hetero-aggregation).
