MAGNESIUM MESO-TETRAPHENYLPORPHINE
Magnesium meso-tetraphenylporphine primarily serves as a key photocatalyst and chemical sensing material, applied in organic synthesis transformations and gas detection. It also demonstrates significant potential in emerging fields such as antimicrobial applications, photodynamic therapy, and optoelectronic devices.
Overview
Magnesium meso-tetraphenylporphine is a metalloporphyrin compound with the chemical formula [Mg(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)], formed by the complexation of a tetraphenylporphyrin ligand with a magnesium ion, commonly found as a monohydrate. Structurally analogous to natural chlorophyll, the magnesium ion sits at the center of the porphyrin ring, coordinated to four pyrrolic nitrogen atoms to form a stable planar structure, and can further axially coordinate with other molecules to adopt penta- or hexa-coordinate forms. As an important biochemical reagent and organic compound, its stable structure and tunable photophysical properties make it a versatile platform molecule bridging fundamental research and industrial applications, holding significant value in multiple cutting-edge fields including photocatalysis, sensing, biomedicine, and materials science.
