Abstract

Nanosecond laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis have been used to characterise the excited states and radicals of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin tetrasulphonic acid as the tetrasodium salt (Na4TPPS) and of meso-tetra-N-methylpyridylporphyrin as the tetra-p-toluenesulphonate (TMPyrP). After 347 nm irradiation, aqueous Na4TPPS forms triplet states (ϕT= 0.76) and photoionises monophotonically (ΦI= 0.029), while TMPyrP forms only triplets (ΦT= 0.92) and does not photoionise. The difference and corrected spectra of the triplet states and the semi-oxidised and semi-reduced radicals of these molecules have been obtained.
