Synthesis, Characterization and Dielectric Properties of New 5-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)- 10,15,20-tri-4-[2-(3-pentadecylphenoxy)ethoxy]phenyl porphyrin and Their Ni, Co and Cu Complexes

Abstract

New asymmetric cardanol-based porphyrins, free-base and coordinated with Ni, Co and Cu, were synthesized and completely characterized as A3B type. Such porphyrins were obtained aiming improved solubility in polar solvents due insertion of an -OH phenolic group. Their thermal and dielectric properties were also evaluated. Changes in the synthetic route reduced the reaction time and improved the yields of the aldehyde precursor obtainment. Electronic absorption spectra of the new porphyrins in CH2Cl2, EtOH and acetone, indicated a decrease in the ε (molar absorptivity) values with increasing solvent polarity, except for the nickel complex which, in acetone, showed a slight increase of 2% in the ε value. The dielectric measurements showed that the conductivity (σ) and the loss tangent (tan δ) increased with frequency, but the permittivity (ε') decreased. The results showed that the coordination of the porphyrin promoted a significant change in thermal and dielectric properties, specially for to the Ni-complex compound, which presented the best dielectric properties with interesting values of permittivity and loss tangent at 100 MHz (19.46 and 0.011 a.u., respectively).

Introduction

Porphyrins are relatively planar aromatic system consisting of four pyrrole type rings joined by four methynic carbons. They have attracted scientists from many areas due to their biological importance, their fascinating physical, chemical, and spectroscopic properties.11 Birin, P.; Gorbunova, G.; Tsivadze, Y.; Bessmertnykh-Lemeune, G.; Guilard, R.; Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2015, 25, 5610. These compounds have a high electron density due to its 18 π-electrons delocalized on the macrocyclic ring, which are responsible for their spectroscopic characteristics.22 Sun, E.; Shi, Y.; Zhang, P.; Zhou, M.; Zhang, Y.; Tang, X.; Shi, T.; J. Mol. Struct. 2008, 889, 28. Porphyrin and its derivatives play multiple roles in nature, such as energy transfer and light absorption in a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Such features are of great interest to the industry of optoelectronic components, such as solar cells, due to its ability to act as photosensitizers when irradiated under visible light.33 Li, K.; Lin, L.; Peng, T.; Guo, Y.; Li, R.; Zhang, J.; Chem. Commun. 2015, 51, 12443. Thus, this is certainly one of the most promising areas of application for these compounds. The structural modeling and synthesis of new porphyrins has grown exponentially in order to control their electronic and thermal properties.44 Henriques, A.; Gonçalves, F.; Abreu, R.; Calvete, F.; Pereira, M.; J. Porphyrins Phthalocyanines 2012, 16, 290. The addition of substituents at the meso positions and metal ions in the center of porphyrins can improve the electrical and magnetic properties, protecting against auto-oxidation and reducing the formation of dimers. However, these structural modifications can promote, in some cases, a significant decrease in their planarity.55 Basova, V.; Çamur, M.; Esenpinar, A.; Tuncel, S.; Hassan, A.; Alexeyev, A.; Banimuslem, H.; Durmus, M.; Gurek, G.; Ahsen, V.; Synth. Met. 2012, 162, 735.

A simple way to obtain porphyrins is the acid catalyzed condensation reaction of pyrrole with specific aldehyde, followed by oxidation of the porphyrinogen. This procedure, originally developed by Rothemund,66 Rothemund, P.; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1935, 57, 2010. has been refined by Adler-Longo,77 Adler, D.; Longo, R.; Shergalis, W.; J. Org. Chem. 1964, 86, 3145.

-99 Adler, D.; Sklar, L.; Longo, R.; Finarelli, D.; Finarelli, G.; J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1968, 5, 669. due to the addition of metal salts to the reaction. Despite the modest yields, the relative simplicity of this method has become suited for preparation of large amounts of tetraarylporphyrins. Higher yields and milder reaction conditions using Lewis acid (TFA or BF3) as catalyst were obtained by Lindsey et al.1010 Lindsey, S.; Schreiman, C.; Hsu, C.; Kearney, C.; Marguerettaz, N.; J. Org. Chem. 1987, 52, 827. More recently, substituted asymmetrical porphyrins (A3B, A2B2, etc.) were obtained via mixed aldehyde condensations, using a mixture of two different aldehydes as starting materials.1111 Guo, C.; Xiao, W.; Mele, G.; Martina, F.; Margapoti, E.; Mazzetto, E.; Vasapollo, G.; J. Porphyrins Phthalocyanines 2006, 10, 1071.

Asymmetric porphyrins are molecules that exhibit some advantages over the symmetric porphyrins (A4) like: reduced aggregation, groups that allows the use of a wide range of solvents, and presence of dipole moment, which may facilitate the electron injection into the TiO2 conduction band.1414 Urbani, M.; Gratzel, M.; Nazeeruddin, K.; Torres, T.; Chem. Rev. 2014, 114, 12330. In addition, asymmetric porphyrins have been synthesized seeking a better efficacy in photodynamic therapy (PDT), since the cellular affinity depends on amphiphilic character, that is, dependent on the structural arrangement of groups hydrophilic (phenolic -OH or carboxylic -COOH) and hydrophobic (alkyl or aryl chains) meso-substituents in macrocycle.1515 Fagadar-Cosma, E.; Cseh, L.; Badea, V.; Fagadar-Cosma, G.; Vlascici, D.; Comb. Chem. High Throughput Screening 2007, 10, 466.,1616 Peng, L.; Lai, S.; Shieh, J.; Biomed. Eng.-App. Bas. C. 2008, 20, 9.

Some studies mention the synthesis of porphyrins using cardanol as starting material,1717 Clemente, S.; Ribeiro, P.; Sousa, A.; Maia, N.; Barreto, H.; Andrade, F.; Denardin, C.; Mele, G.; Carbone, L.; Mazzetto, E.; Fechine, A.; J. Nano Res. 2013, 15, 1739.

18 Sandrino, B.; Clemente, C.; Oliveira, F.; Ribeiro, P.; Pavinatto, J.; Mazzetto, E.; Neto, L.; Correia, A.; Pessoa, A.; Wohnrath, K.; Colloids Surf., A 2013, 425, 68.
-1919 Bloise, E.; Carbone, L.; Colafemmina, G.; D'Accolti, L.; Mazzetto, E.; Vasapollo, G.; Mele, G.; Molecules 2012, 17, 12252. which provides interesting lipophilic properties, besides being a substance derived from a renewable raw material, the cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL).2020 Attanasi, A.; Mele, G.; Filippone, P.; Mazzetto, E.; Vasapollo, G.; Arkivoc 2009, viii, 69. Cardanol is a phenolic lipid and the main constituent of the CNSL, a dark oil obtained as a by product from industrial processing of the cashew nut (Anacardium occidentale L.).2121 Júnior, C.; Barreto, H.; Rosa, S.; Maia, N.; Lomonaco, D.; Mazzetto, E.; J. Compos. Mater. 2015, 49, 2203. It is known that the presence of an alkyl chain or an aryl substituents in porphyrins are important, not just for increase solubility in organic solvents and influence the aggregation of these materials, but also to modify its chemical characteristics and photophysical properties.1111 Guo, C.; Xiao, W.; Mele, G.; Martina, F.; Margapoti, E.; Mazzetto, E.; Vasapollo, G.; J. Porphyrins Phthalocyanines 2006, 10, 1071. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of novel asymmetric cardanol-based A3B porphyrins 4a-d (4a: metal-free, 4b: Ni, 4c: Co, 4d: Cu) as well as the study of their thermal and dielectric properties. Scheme 1 shows the steps and reagents used in the preparation of asymmetric porphyrins.

Scheme 1
Synthesis of asymmetric porphyrin 4a A3B type from cardanol, where (a) KOH, dibromoethane, 70 ºC, 6 hours; (b) KOH, DMF, 100 ºC, 6 hours; (c) 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, CHCl3, BF3, DDQ, 1 hour; (d) acetate metal salts (Ni, 4b; Co, 4c; and Cu, 4d), chloroform/DMF, 3 hours, 90 ºC.

From the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) it was possible to determine that the thermal stabilities of the porphyrins 4a-d, in inert atmosphere, was in the following order: 4a > 4d > 4c > 4b. In TGA, the porphyrin 4a showed initial temperature of degradation at 352 ºC (Tonset) and other parameters as the final and the half decomposition temperature (Tendset and T*, respectively), the residual mass and the numbers of degradation stages were also evaluated.2222 Guan, C.; Li, L.; Chen, D.; Gao, Z.; Sun, W.; Thermochim. Acta 2004, 413, 31. The dielectric properties, like the loss tangent (tan δ), permittivity (ε') and conductivity (σ) are the most important parameters to determine the suitability for electronics applications.2323 Saleh, M.; Hraibat, M.; Kitaneh, L.; Abu-Samreh, M.; Musameh, M.; J. Semicond. 2012, 33, 082002-1.,2424 Canlıca, M.; Altındal, A.; Nyokong, T.; J. Porphyrins Phthalocyanines 2012, 16, 826. According to Lukichev,2525 Lukichev, A.; Chem. Phys. 2014, 428, 29. materials presenting high dielectric constant associated with low loss tangent have important applications in microelectronics. The measurements showed that 4b have good dielectric permittivity (ca. 20 a.u.) and 4d had the lowest permittivity (ca. 6 a.u.). These results suggest that the metal promoted a significant change in thermal and electrical properties of the asymmetric porphyrin.

Results and Discussion

Synthesis

The synthesis of porphyrins starting from cardanol are mentioned by many papers since 2004,2626 Mele, G.; Vasapollo, G.; Mini-Rev. Org. Chem. 2008, 5, 243.

27 Mele, G.; Del Sole, R.; Vasapollo, G.; Garcia-Lopez, E.; Palmisano, L.; Mazzetto, E.; Attanasi, A.; Filippone, P.; Green Chem. 2004, 6, 604.

-2929 Vasapollo, G.; Mele, G.; Del Sole, R.; Molecules 2011, 16, 6871. and they employed a procedure which consists in producing an aldehyde derivative as precursor. Normally, this precursor is compound 3 (4-[2-(3-pentadecylphenoxy)ethoxy] benzaldehyde), obtained by a reaction between compound 2 (1-(2-bromoethoxy)-3-pentadecylbenzene) and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde in acetone using anhydrous potassium carbonate (K2CO3) as base, stirred for 24 h and with 40% yield.

In this study, it was found that the replacement of the base, K2CO3, by KOH, promoted a decrease on the yield (about 25%), that can be associated with the deprotonation of acetone present in the reaction as solvent.3030 Clayden, J.; Greeves, N.; Warren, S.; Wothers, P.; Organic Chemistry; Oxford University Press: Oxford, USA, 2001 (with corrections in 2009), p. 690. A new reaction procedure using DMF as solvent and KOH as base at 100 ºC, provided a better yield (62%) of compound 3 in only 6 hours of reaction. Based on the result of this new procedure, it is possible to conclude that the DMF is not affected by a strong base.

Characterization

The chemical structures of the asymmetric porphyrin 4a and its metal complexes 4b-d (A3B type) were characterized using 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), elemental analysis, UV-visible absorption, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The FTIR data are listed in Table 1, which were consistent with the proposed structures of the corresponding compounds. For compound 4a, the absorption bands at 3319 and 967 cm-1 are assigned to the N-H stretching and in plane bending vibrations of the pyrrole group, respectively.22 Sun, E.; Shi, Y.; Zhang, P.; Zhou, M.; Zhang, Y.; Tang, X.; Shi, T.; J. Mol. Struct. 2008, 889, 28. These absorption bands disappeared in the spectra of metal complexes (4b-d), since the hydrogen atom of the N-H bond is replaced by a metal ion to form N-M bond, and a new metal-sensitive absorption band appeared at ca. 1000 cm-1, which further confirmed the formation of metal complexes.3131 Xu, Z.; Mei, Q.; Hua Q.; Tian, R.; Weng, J.; Shi, Y.; Huang, W.; J. Mol. Struct. 2015, 1094, 1. Moreover, the presence of aliphatic groups in porphyrins 4a-d, are also evident by the presence of absorbance peaks at 2923 and 2852 cm-1, which are characteristic of asymmetric and symmetric νC-H modes, respectively.1717 Clemente, S.; Ribeiro, P.; Sousa, A.; Maia, N.; Barreto, H.; Andrade, F.; Denardin, C.; Mele, G.; Carbone, L.; Mazzetto, E.; Fechine, A.; J. Nano Res. 2013, 15, 1739. In addition, the compounds exhibit absorption bands of the phenyl groups at ca. 1610 cm-1, assigned to the C=C stretching vibration.3232 Yu, M.; Chen, J.; Liu, F.; J. Phys. Chem. Sol. 2007, 68, 541.

The 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were in accordance with the assigned structures and presented all the expected signals for asymmetrical meso-substituted porphyrins derived from cardanol. The signals obtained in CDCl3 (1H NMR, Figure 1) for 4a-d exhibited the spectral signatures of the porphyrin core and signals typical of the peripheral cardanol units, such as the singlet at 1.26 ppm corresponding to the 72 protons of the aliphatic groups (-CH2-).

For free base porphyrin 4a, the characteristic chemical shift of pyrrole N-H located into the porphyrin ring is located at -2.73 ppm. If we assume equivalence 1 for the peak at 8.84 ppm which was assigned to 8H (β-pyrrolic), the integration of the other peaks can be related to the following hydrogens: peak at 4.48-4.54 ppm to 12H (O-(CH2)2-O), at 2.64 ppm to 6H (Ph-CH2), at 0.88 ppm to 9H (CH3) and peak at 5.29 ppm to 1H (Ph-OH). These peaks indicated that the porphyrin 4a is an asymmetric compound of A3B type. After formation of complexes (4b-d), the signal peak at -2.73 ppm disappeared, since the hydrogen atom in the N-H bond is replaced by a metal ion.3333 Brem, B.; Gal, E.; Gaina, L.; Cristea, C.; Gabudean, M.; Astilean, S.; Silaghi-Dumitresco, L.; Dyes Pigments 2015, 123, 386. In some paramagnetic metalloporphyrins the signals may be broad due to the hyperfine electron-nuclear interactions and by relaxation processes.1111 Guo, C.; Xiao, W.; Mele, G.; Martina, F.; Margapoti, E.; Mazzetto, E.; Vasapollo, G.; J. Porphyrins Phthalocyanines 2006, 10, 1071. Figure 1 shows that compounds 4c (cobalt porphyrin) and 4d (copper porphyrin) presented this phenomenon, thus indicating the paramagnetic character of these metals. 13C NMR data to 4a showed signals that confirm the presence of alkyl (13.85-35.83 ppm), ethers (66.22 ppm) and aromatic groups (111.37-158.45 ppm). Similar signals were observed for metalloporphyrins 4b-d (Figure S1). The results indicated that compounds 4a-d were obtained with good purity, which was confirmed by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF, Figure S2) and elemental analysis. The m/z for the molecular ion presented the following values: 1669.938 (4a), 1726.860 (4b), 1726.907 (4c) and 1731.889 (4d).

Electronic absorption and luminescence spectra

Electronic absorption spectra of porphyrins 4a-d in CH2Cl2, EtOH and acetone (Figure 2), show one intense band in the near-ultraviolet region of the spectrum (Soret or B band) and absorption bands at higher wavelengths in the visible region (Q bands). The free base porphyrin 4a have four Q bands denoted as IV, III, II, and I,3232 Yu, M.; Chen, J.; Liu, F.; J. Phys. Chem. Sol. 2007, 68, 541. while the metallated porphyrins presented one (4b and 4c) or two Q bands (4d) due to the increase of symmetry of the complexes.3434 Yu, M.; Zhang, J.; Shi, H.; Liu, F.; Zhang, J.; Solid State Sci. 2009, 11, 2016. Characteristic Q and B (Soret) bands of metalloporphyrins are determined by transitions of the π-electrons between two higher occupied and two lower unoccupied orbitals.3535 Wei, L.; TongShun, S.; Sci. China, Ser. B: Chem. 2007, 50, 488. Nevertheless, the changes in the molecular structure and the effect of the solvent may alter the spectra of the porphyrins.3636 Sun, J.; Sun, Y.; Yuan, M.; Wang, D.; Shi, S.; Dyes Pigments 2009, 81, 124. The molar absorptivity coefficient values (ε) of Soret band of the porphyrins 4a-d are shown in Table 2, and the results indicated a decrease in the values of ε with increasing solvent polarity, except for the nickel porphyrin (4b), in which there was a slight increase of 2% at the ε obtained in acetone. The low values of the molar absorptivity coefficient (Table 2) of the compounds in ethanol clearly indicate the formation of aggregated species, due to, probably, the poor solubility in this solvent, evidenced by decrease in the intensity of the absorption bands (hypochromic effect).

Figure 2
Electronic absorption spectra of porphyrins 4a-d, in the following concentrations: 4a 1.5 × 10-6 M; 4b 8.0 × 10-6 M; 4c 8.0 × 10-6 M and 4d 2.5 × 10-6 M.

Table 2

Specifically for compound 4c, we observe the formation of J-aggregates that showed a red-shifted absorption band at 432 nm.3737 Fagadar-cosma, E.; Vlascici, D.; Fagadar-cosma, G.; Palade, A.; Lascu, A.; Creanga, I.; Birdeanu, M.; Cristescu, R.; Cernica, I.; Molecules 2014, 19, 21239. This phenomenon indicated that the molecules of compound 4c have side-by-side interactions in an ethanolic solution. Usually, porphyrins derived from cardanol have good solubility in solvents with low polarity such as chloroform (µ = 1.04), dichloromethane (µ = 1.60) and THF (µ = 1.75), but they are insoluble in polar solvents like acetone (µ = 2.88). Therefore, these asymmetric porphyrins 4a-d allowed us to work with a greater variety of solvents, including acetone. This significant change on the solubility of these porphyrins probably occurs due to the presence of the hydroxyl group at the macrocyclic structure, which promotes a better interaction and affinity to polar solvents.

Fluorescence emission spectroscopy of porphyrin 4a and metalloporphyrins 4b, 4c and 4d were investigated in dichloromethane (10-5 M) at room temperature. The emission spectrum of the porphyrin 4a showed two bands in the red region, one intense at 658 nm (ca. 5 × 107) and a lower one at 715 nm (ca. 1 × 107) after excitation at 421 nm (Figure 3A). This spectral behavior was similar to other meso-porphyrins and indicates that these compounds can be used in optoelectronic systems working in the red spectral region, for example as catalyst, solar cells, OLEDs (organic light-emitting diode) and photodynamic therapy.3838 Valicsek, Z.; Horváth, O.; Microchem. J. 2013, 107, 47.,3939 Zheng, W.; Shan, N.; Yu, L.; Wang, X.; Dyes Pigments 2008, 77, 153. The fluorescence emission was attributed to the transition from the excited singlet state S1/S2 to the ground state S0 (S2 → S0, S1 → S0). The spectra of the complexes 4b-d showed a very weak fluorescence band, and when 4b is excited at 421 nm, this band appeared at 651 nm with intensity about 2 × 103 a.u. (Figure 3B). The decrease in the emission band intensity to porphyrins 4b-d probably occurred due to the heavy atom effect, where the presence of atoms with higher atomic numbers increases the probability of non-radiative transitions.4040 Borisevich, A.; Solov'ev, N.; Phys.-Usp. 2005, 48, 231.,4141 Nastasi, F.; Campagna, S.; Ngo, H.; Dehaen, W.; Maes, W.; Kruk, M.; Photochem. Photobiol. Sci. 2011, 10, 143. The excitation spectrum of 4a (Figure 4) showed bands responsible for emission with major wavelength at 658 nm. Comparing the excitation spectrum with the absorption spectrum is possible to observe that the emission happened from the absorption of the Soret and Q bands.

Thermal stability

In order to evaluate the thermal stability of the compounds 4a-d, TGA studies were carried out in inert atmosphere (N2) using a temperature range between 25 and 900 ºC. In general, the results showed that the order of observed thermal stabilities of the porphyrins 4a-d were: 4a > 4d > 4c > 4b. Thus, we verified that porphyrin 4a has the best thermal properties, probably due to the absence of metal coordinated to the center of the macrocycle, that can act as promoter of degradation process. Table 3 summarizes the decomposition range and maximum temperature values, as well as the weight loss of the main stages of degradation and the residual weight. The decomposition of the compounds 4a, 4c and 4d occurred in two different stages, while the porphyrin 4b presented three stages.

Table 3
Thermogravimetric parameters of the two first stages of degradation in N2 atmosphere

The first stage of degradation was attributed to the loss of the peripheral chains of cardanol attached to the macrocyclic ring of the porphyrins and the second was associated to the degradation of the macrocycle ring 4a-d.22 Sun, E.; Shi, Y.; Zhang, P.; Zhou, M.; Zhang, Y.; Tang, X.; Shi, T.; J. Mol. Struct. 2008, 889, 28. Metalloporphyrins showed initial temperature of degradation lower than the free asymmetric porphyrin 4a. Similar results was reported by Antina et al.,4242 Antina, V.; Balantseva, V.; Berezin, B.; Russ. J. Gen. Chem. 2011, 81, 1222. which related the decrease in thermal stability of porphyrins to changes in the aromaticity and π-polarization of the macrocyclic system, due to the presence of the metal ion. Clemente et al.1717 Clemente, S.; Ribeiro, P.; Sousa, A.; Maia, N.; Barreto, H.; Andrade, F.; Denardin, C.; Mele, G.; Carbone, L.; Mazzetto, E.; Fechine, A.; J. Nano Res. 2013, 15, 1739. showed that the thermal degradation of the symmetric porphyrin, derived from cardanol, started at 250 ºC (Tonset). This information indicated that the asymmetric porphyrin 4a is more thermally stable than its symmetric porphyrin analogue, due to the thermal decomposition of 4a started only at 352 ºC. Therefore, these porphyrins are suitable for applications in technological areas that require luminescent compounds (red region) and elevated thermal stability, like OLEDs and solar cells.4343 Chevrier, M.; Kesters, J.; Blayo, C.; Richeter, S.; Van Der Lee, A.; Coulembier, O.; Surin, M.; Mehdi, A.; Lazzaroni, R.; Evans, C.; Maes, W.; Dubois, P.; Clément, S.; Macromol. Chem. Phys. 2016, 217, 445. During the second stage of thermal degradation, all samples showed gradual mass loss between 29.25 and 47.11% in the temperature range of 342 to 702 ºC.

Dielectric properties

Dielectric permittivity (ε') is a measure that shows the ability of materials to store energy and have their dipoles oriented when subjected to an alternating electric field. This capacity is associated with the electric susceptibility of these compounds. The extent of the polarization is directly related to the nature of the material, shape and their structures. Therefore, if the electrical properties (dielectric permittivity) are known, it is possible to predict the influence of an electric field in the polarization of the material studied.

The dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss tangent (tan δ) of porphyrins 4a-d were obtained at room temperature using the following relationship:4444 Yazici, A.; Ünüs, N.; Altindal, A.; Salih, B.; Bekaroglu, O.; Dalton Trans. 2012, 41, 3773.,4545 Yang, J.; Yang, X.; Pu, Z.; Chen, L.; Liu, X.; Mater. Lett. 2013, 93, 199.

(1) Z = 1 / i w ε C 0 = 1 / i w ε + i ε C 0

where ε' and ε'' are the real (permittivity) and imaginary parts (dielectric loss) of the dielectric function, respectively. C0 (C0 = ε0A / d) is the empty cell capacitance, where, A is the electrode area, d is the thickness sample, ε0 is the permittivity of free space (ε0 = 8.854 × 10-12 F m-1) and w (w = 2πf) is the angular frequency. The components of the complex dielectric function was derived using the relations,

(2) ε = C / C 0 and ε = i σ / w C

where C is the capacitance and σ is the conductivity. The imaginary part of the dielectric function can be calculated as ε'' = ε'tan δ. This expression determines the dielectric loss.

It was observed a small decrease in the dielectric permittivity for all asymmetric porphyrins (4a-d), when the applied frequency was increased (Figure 5). At frequencies greater than 1 MHz it was observed that the values practically did not change. The values of dielectric permittivity at low frequencies can be assigned to different types of polarization, such as dipole or electronic.4242 Antina, V.; Balantseva, V.; Berezin, B.; Russ. J. Gen. Chem. 2011, 81, 1222. According to the data, it was observed that this slight decrease in dielectric permittivity resulted from the decrease in polarization of the molecules across electric field. When comparing the dielectric permittivity values of the analyzed molecules, we can see that the porphyrin 4b had the highest permittivity (ca. 20 a.u.), while 4d porphyrin had the lowest (ca. 6 a.u.). These results indicated that the compound 4b is more susceptible to polarization, since higher permittivity values are resulted from the dipole generation. The decrease in the dielectric permittivity value with increasing frequency can be attributed to dipole relaxation phenomenon in which the dipoles at low frequencies follow the frequency of the applied field.4646 Yu, L.; Zhang, Y.; Tong, W.; Shang, J.; Lv, F.; Ke, S.; Huang, H.; Proc. SPIE 2012, 8409, 1. However, with the increase frequency, the oscillations in the dipoles cannot follow the applied field and tend to disappear due to the limited time for its polarization.4747 Boonlakhorn, J.; Kidkhunthod, P.; Thongbai, P.; J. Eur. Ceram. Soc. 2015, 35, 3521.

Figure 5
Dielectric permittivity with frequency to porphyrins 4a-d at room temperature.

Dielectric loss tangent is characterized by the loss of energy due to the movement and orientation of electric dipoles of the material, where compounds that have low dielectric loss are considered suitable for use in microelectronics.4848 Li, Y.; Yuan, J.; Xue, J.; Cai, F.; Chen, F.; Fu, Q.; Compos. Sci. Technol. 2015, 118, 198. The dielectric loss tangent (tan δ, Figure 6) was determined as a function of frequency and the results obtained for compounds 4a-d indicated that this parameter increases proportionally with the frequency. In general, the compounds showed low loss tangent and exhibited dispersion for high values in ca. 100 kHz. Porphyrin 4b showed the best dielectric characteristics, since it combines a high value of dielectric permittivity (19.46 at 100 kHz) and a low dielectric loss tangent (0.011 at 100 kHz).

The results in Table 4 shows that when a metal ion was added in the center of asymmetric porphyrin, the dielectric properties were significantly altered.2323 Saleh, M.; Hraibat, M.; Kitaneh, L.; Abu-Samreh, M.; Musameh, M.; J. Semicond. 2012, 33, 082002-1. The increase in the dielectric permittivity (ε') of the 4b porphyrin (about three times), compared with the free porphyrin 4a (permittivity 6.96), is a proof of this influence. Another important parameter of the dielectric properties is the conductivity (σ), and it is associated with migration of charge carriers.4949 Zou, Y.; Yang, J.; Zhan, Y.; Yang, X.; Zhong, J.; Zhao, R.; Liu, X.; J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2012, 125, 3829. The conductivity in alternating current (σac) of the asymmetric porphyrins at room temperature was determined as described by Deger et al.5050 Deger, D.; Ulutaş, K.; Yakut, Ş.; Kara, H.; Mater. Sci. Semicond. Process. 2015, 38, 1. The porphyrin coordinated with nickel (4b) had the highest conductivity values at all frequencies: 1.3 × 10-8 Sm-1 (1 kHz), 2.8 × 10-8 Sm-1 (10 kHz), 1.9 × 10-7 Sm-1 (100 kHz) and 4.6 × 10-6 Sm-1 (1 MHz). For other porphyrins, the maximum conductivities were observed in 1 MHz to 4a (8.6 × 10-7 Sm-1), 4c (1.6 × 10-6 Sm-1) and 4d (6.7 × 10-7 Sm-1), respectively. These conductivities indicated that the compounds studied have low polarization when subjected to an external electric field.

Conclusions

The novel metal-free porphyrin 4a and their metallated analogs 4b-d, were successfully synthesized and characterized like asymmetric porphyrins A3B type. The results of TGA/DTA (differential thermal analysis) analysis showed that the metalloporphyrins have lower initial temperature of degradation (4b, 4c and 4d) compared to free asymmetric porphyrin (4a). The dielectric measurements indicates that the asymmetric porphyrins 4b have good dielectric properties, due to its better dielectric permittivity and low loss tangent. This study indicates that the coordination of the porphyrin nucleus with a metal promoted a significant change in thermal and electrical properties of these compounds.

Experimental

Reagents

All the starting reagents used in this work were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Chemical, Vetec, Dynamics, Synth and Acros Organic, and used as received. Solvents were previously distilled before their use.

Analyses

UV-Vis: analyses were performed on a Varian Cary 5000 spectrophotometer, where the spectrum was obtained using quartz cells of 1.0 cm optical path (CHCl3) in the following concentration: 4a 1.5 × 10-6 M, 4b 8.0 × 10-6 M, 4c 8.0 × 10-6 M and 4d 2.5 × 10-6 M. FTIR: spectra were obtained using a PerkinElmer Spectrum One spectrophotometer, and the samples were prepared as pellets (KBr). 1H NMR and 13C NMR: was obtained in a nuclear magnetic resonance Bruker Avance DPX 300 spectrometer, operating at 300 (1H) and 75 MHz (13C) (CDCl3). TGA/DTA: the thermal stability of the samples was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis It was used an equipment Mettler Toledo TGA/SDTA 851e. The decomposition analyses were performed under nitrogen atmosphere in a constant flow of 50 mL min-1, with heating rate of 10.0 ºC min-1, sample mass of 5.0 mg and a temperature program from 25 to 900 ºC. MS: samples were analyzed on a Bruker Microflex LT (MaldiTof) using alphacyano, and dichloromethane as a matrix and 5% TFA as mobile phase. Elemental analysis (CNH): the percentual composition of the samples was analyzed on a PerkinElmer 2400 Series II. Dielectric measurements: the samples were shaped in a cylinder, with metal bases (Al). They were pressed by two electrodes connected in order to perform capacitance measurements, dielectric loss, impedance real and imaginary. Measurements were made at room temperature in atmospheric air through a precision Agilent 4294A impedance analyzer connected to a microcomputer in the 1 Hz-10 MHz frequency range.

Synthesis of the asymmetric porphyrins

Cardanol precursors of the porphyrins

Hydrogenated cardanol (1) was obtained in our laboratory through chromatographic separation of the constituents of CNSL followed by hydrogenation.5151 Lomonaco, D.; Santiago, P.; Ferreira, S.; Arriaga, C.; Mazzetto, E.; Mele, G.; Vasapollo, G.; Green Chem. 2009, 11, 31. The compound 1-(2-bromoethoxy)-3-pentadecylbenzene (2) derived from 1, was prepared and characterized by FTIR, and 1H NMR according to the procedure previously described.5252 Attanasi, A.; Del Sole, R.; Filippone, P.; Mazzetto, E.; Mele, G.; Vasapollo, G.; J. Porphyrins Phthalocyanines 2004, 8, 1276.

Compound 4-[2-(3-pentadecylphenoxy)ethoxy] benzaldehyde (3) was obtained by a mix of 2 (3.0 g, 7.30 mmol) and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1.3 g, 10.90 mmol) using KOH (1.3 g, 23.30 mmol) as base in 50 mL of DMF. The system was maintained in stirring at 100 ºC for 6 h, and the progress of reaction was carried out by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The reaction mixture was subjected to a pretreatment by means of a liquid-liquid partition with distilled water (200 mL) and ethyl acetate (200 mL). The organic phase was dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, concentrated and purified in column chromatography with silica gel having as eluent hexane/ethyl acetate (95:5).
