Abstract
The multifunctionality of an A3B mixed-substituted porphyrin, namely 5-(4-carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris(4-methylphenyl)porphyrin (5-COOH-3MPP), was proven due to its capacity to detect procaine by different methods, depending on the polymer matrix in which it is incorporated. The hybrid nanomaterial containing k-carrageenan and AuNPs (5-COOH-3MPP-k-carrageenan-AuNPs) was able to optically detect procaine in the concentration range from 5.76 × 10-6 M to 2.75 × 10-7 M, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.33 × 10-7 M. This method for the detection of procaine gave complementary results to the potentiometric one, which uses 5-COOH-3MPP as an electroactive material incorporated in a polyvinylchloride (PVC) membrane plasticized with o-NPOE. The detected concentration range by this ion-selective membrane electrode is wider (enlarged in the field of higher concentrations from 10-2 to 10-6 M), linearly dependent with a 53.88 mV/decade slope, possesses a detection limit of 7 × 10-7 M, a response time of 60 s, and has a certified stability for a working period of six weeks.
