Abstract

Ruthenium(II) 5-(4[Formula: see text]-sulfanylmethylphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (Ru-TPP-SH) and manganese(III) 5-(4[Formula: see text]-sulfanylmethylphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (Mn-TPP-SH) were synthesized, spectroscopically characterized and drop casted to modify screen-printed electrodes (SPEs). The modified SPEs were then tested against the redox target [Fe(CN)6][Formula: see text] in comparison with the bare SPE and SPE modified with the free porphyrin. The best performing one, [Formula: see text]. Mn-TPP-SH was used for the electrochemical detection of 1,4–benzoquinone, serotonin, caffeic and ascorbic acids, the latter also in association with uric acid, showing good electrocatalytic properties. The tunability of the metal-TPP-SH through the choice of the coordinating metal, the drop casting conditions and possible further functionalization make this type of porphyrin a good candidate for further developments of porphyrin-modified SPEs.
