A study on the interactions of cationic porphyrin with nano clay platelets in Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self assembled films
In the present communication, interaction of tetracationic porphyrin, 5,10,15,10-tetrakis (1-methyl-4-pyrindino) porphyrin tetra (p-toluenesulfonate) (TMPyP) with anionic nano clay platelets laponite has been studied in aqueous clay dispersion and Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self assembled film. Electrostatic adsorption of TMPyP molecules on clay platelets resulted in the flattenening of meso-substituent groups which led to the development of a new adsorbed band in the UV-vis absorption spectra. J-band was also formed due to overlapped organizations of organo-clay hybrid molecules in the LbL film leading to J-aggregates. Atomic force microscopic (AFM) studies gave visual evidence of this favoured organization in the monolayer LbL film. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
