Synthesis of A(3)B zinc tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine covalently functionalized reduced graphene oxide

Abstract

In this Letter, a novel strategy was applied to the preparation of tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine-reduced graphene oxide hybrid material. Reduced graphene oxide was functionalized with carboxylic acid groups via diazotization with 4-aminio benzoic acid and subsequent amidation with the synthesized aminoalkyl-tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine. FT-IR, Raman, TGA, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectrophotometry methods were utilized for characterization of the hybrid material, which exhibited an electron/energy transfer ability.
