Application of porphyrins in flow-injection analysis: a review.
Porphyrins and metalloporphyrins fulfil a very important role in the metabolism of living organisms through biological pigments or biochromes and are therefore also employed in numerous applications in analytical chemistry. In flow-injection analysis the role of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins are centered as either that of analyte or that of a reagent or modifier in the determination of other species. This paper covers the attributes of porphyrin and metallophorphyrin complexes as enhancements in chemical analysis in flow-injection systems and points out the advantages and disadvantages in the implementation thereof.
