Abstract

The possibility of stabilization of zinc(II) 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa[(3,5-sodium biscarboxylate)phenoxy] phthalocyaninate (ZnPc16) by its hybridization with the surface of graphene oxide (GO) sheets via van der Waals or coordination bonds with functional groups of the carbon matrix in the GO hydrosols has been investigated. A combination of physicochemical analysis methods (scanning electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy) has been employed to confirm the integration of ZnPc16 with GO nanosheets and to study the morphology and structure of the obtained hybrid materials. Using electronic absorption spectroscopy, it has been found that, regardless of the hybridization method, the binding of the macrocycles to the inorganic particles increases the stability of ZnPc16 in an aqueous medium being irradiated with visible light. The analysis of spectral kinetic data has shown that, in contrast to the system obtained by direct integration of ZnPc16 and GO, the hybrid material formed by coordination bonding of the components via zinc acetate (Zn(OAc)2) as a binding metal cluster is able to exhibit photocatalytic properties in oxidative photodegradation of some model organic pollutant substrates (rhodamine 6G, 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene, and 1,4-nitrophenol). The proposed colloid-chemical approach to the stabilization of photoactive water-soluble phthalocyaninates makes it possible to increase their resistance to photoinduced self-oxidation and can be adapted for various derivatives of tetrapyrrole compounds possessing photosensitizing properties.
