Abstract

The electrochemical oxidation of some substituted porphyrins and their metal complexes in organic solvent dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) leads to the formation of electroactive porphyrin films which can produce reproducible photovoltage and photocurrent on illumination. The films are stable in organic solvents but removed by concentrated acids. The films have been characterised by cyclic voltammetry and absorption spectral studies on transparent SnO2 electrodes.
