Alfa Chemistry Starts to Supply Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines for Multiple Applications

Porphyrins and phthalocyanines are synthetic dyes with unique molecular structures. Earlier this month, Alfa Chemistry announces that it starts to supply a wide range of porphyrins and phthalocyanines for customers worldwide. These two kinds of chemicals can serve multiple roles in different scenarios, either as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy of cancer, or as catalysts and photocatalysts in different reactions, or as good systems to generate free radical and excited state species.

Porphyrins constitute a class of the molecules which contain four pyrrole rings linked by the methine bridges, whereas the phthalocyanine molecules  are composed of four indole units—pyrrole rings linked by nitrogen atoms conjugated with benzene rings. Porphyrins and phthalocyanines are not only important biomolecules, they also find numerous technological and scientific applications.

“The structures, chemical characteristics, optical properties, and photo-physical/photochemical properties of porphyrins and phthalocyanine have made them applicable in vast occasions,” explains a senior scientist from Alfa Chemistry. “For example, they are perfectly suited for integration into light energy conversion systems. It is quite fair to say that porphyrins, phthalocyanines and other porphyrin-type compounds such as corroles, expanded porphyrins, pyrrole-modified porphyrins, and calixpyrroles have a tremendous impact in many scientific areas.”

The porphyrins and phthalocyanines offered at Alfa Chemistry are versatile, just to name a few here:

zinc(II) (tetra-nitro)phthalocyanine (CAS 100043-01-4), 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-(tri-4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin triammonium(CAS 1007126-46-6),  5-(phenyl)dipyrrylmethane (CAS 107798-98-1), 5,15-(di-p-tolyl)porphyrin (CAS 128374-05-0), Iron(II) phthalocyanine (CAS 132-16-1), zinc(II) phthalocyanine (CAS 14320-04-8), 5-dipyrrylketone (CAS 15770-21-5), Magnesium(II) phthalocyanine (1661-03-6),  dipyrrylmethane (CAS 21211-65-4), 5-dipyrrylthione (CAS 21401-55-8), 5,15-(diphenyl)porphyrin (CAS 22112-89-6), etc.

All products at Alfa Chemistry are strictly QC assessed so that high quality is guaranteed. Technique documents such as COA are also provided.  For more information about alfa Chemistry’s supply of porphyrins and phthalocyanines, please visit the website: https://www.alfa-chemistry.com/.

 

About Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines

Porphyrins constitute a family of macrocycles that are ubiquitous in nature, playing important roles in numerous biological functions. Phthalocyanines represent the best known synthetic porphyrin analogues, being one of the most widely studied macrocyclic compounds. The synthesis of expanded, contracted, and intrinsically unsymmetrical porphyrin and phthalocyanine analogues remains an expanding topic. The scope of porphyrin science is enormous, ranging from chemical synthesis and molecular characterization to supramolecular organization, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, photochemistry and photophysics, clinical medicine, and materials science, among others.

Resin Bond Diamond

The resin bond diamond (RBD) is mutil-stalline diamond superhard abrasive specially produced for resin bond abrasives, which is composed of many subcrystals with embedded structure. In most cases, the resin binder system is phenolic resin or polyimide resin. In special cases, special resin binder and suitable additives may be used make the resin bond diamond more widely applicable. Resin bond diamond has irregular crystal shape, rough surface, excellent brittleness and excellent self-sharpening. Characteristics The excellent quality of high grinding efficiency, long life and high finish provides the best performance for resin bond abrasives, the details are as follows: Extremely high grinding efficiency and abrasive utilization : Under a certain grinding force, multicrystal particles are easy to fracture along the interface between subgrains. After the small abrasive subgrains are separated from the crystal particles, the new irregular shape subgrains form sharp edge angles on the cry...
