Abstract
Methods of forming a porphene polymeric material are provided. The resulting material can be a porphene or a metalloporphene polymeric material. The structure of the polymer can be selected based on a material provided in the monomer material. Methods of using the polymeric material are also provided.
Claims20
A porphene polymer, comprising:
- polymerized monomers of porphyrin, wherein the porphyrin is a macrocyclic molecule comprising four nitrogen atoms, and wherein a structure of the porphene polymer is a single layer, a double layer, a multilayer, a coil, or a tube.
A method of making a porphene polymer material, comprising:
- providing an aqueous fluid with an exposed surface area;
- providing a monomer of porphyrin to the exposed surface area;
- providing an oxidant to the aqueous fluid;
- and
- reacting the monomer in the presence of the oxidant to produce the porphene polymer material.
