Abstract

The aqueous-porphyrins used in clinical studies for photodynamic therapy (PDT) are exploited as the photocatalysts for the first time in the photodegradation of rhodamine B in the acetone medium. The porphyrins such as free-base porphyrin TPPS4 and MnTPPS4Cl, FeTPPS4Cl, a dimer (FeTPPS4)2-O and SnTPPS4Cl2 were synthesized and characterized by ultraviolet-visible, infrared, 1H NMR , fluorescence spectroscopies and elemental analysis. The band-gap energies of the respective porphyrins were determined using DRS spectroscopy. They have shown 100% degradation of the dye within 25-40 min, which was confirmed by HPLC and ion-chromatography. This has revealed that semiconductor aqueous-porphyrins may be a good choice as photocatalysts in the photodegradation of rhodamine B dye.
