RESUMO

The synthesis, characterization and investigation of the molecular and supramolecular behaviour of meso-tetrapyridylporphyrins containing four chloro(bipyridine) platinum(II) complexes attached at the meta and para positions of the peripheral pyridine ligands is focused on this thesis. The isomeric supermolecules were isolated in the solid state, and extensively characterized by means of UV-visible, FT-IR and 195Pt NMR spectroscopy, as well as, by TGA and electrospray spectrometry associated with collision induced techniques. Cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemical measurements were performed to characterize the redox sites on the porphyrin and peripheral complexes, revealing a close similarity between the two isomeric supermolecules. Major differences were observed on their structural properties, as demonstrated by means of molecular simulations, and by the morphology of the molecular films probed by SPM techniques, and also by their association with DNA films, which was monitored by means of SPR techniques. In the last case, DNA was first immobilized onto the surface of the gold sensor, using suitable aminothiols and the interaction of the meta-isomer led to a contrasting response, exhibiting a strong binding to the DNA chain, presumably at the proximity of the minor grooves. The interaction of the para-isomer with DNA was too weak to be probed by means of the SPR technique. Molecular association of the tetraplatinum porphyrin species, with tetrasulphonated phtalocyanines, leading to ion pairs in solution, was also investigated. The molecular film of the para-isomer immobilized over glass carbon electrode has shown activity in the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrite. This work on the supramolecular porphyrin platinum species provided new interesting approaches for generating hybrid biological-inorganic systems, containing DNA and noble metals, for sensing applications, and molecular devices.
