SPECTROSCOPIC PROPERTIES OF ZnPc(COOH)4/Ch/Fe3O4 SUPRAMOLECULAR ARCHITECTURES

Abstract

This paper presents the synthesis of ZnPc(COOH)4/Ch/Fe3O4 supramolecular architectures at various ZnPc(COOH)4 and Ch/Fe3O4 concentrations explored in the synthesis process. Ch/Fe3O4 composite was prepared by a simple solution mixing-evaporation method. The validation of the synthesis was achieved through FTIR analysis and UV-Vis spectroscopy. FTIR of composite indicated an interaction between chitosan and Fe3O4 NPs. The chemical interaction of ZnPc(COOH)4 with Ch/F3O4 composite is confirmed by the shift of the signal from ν(C=O)) of protonated COOH groups in the FTIR spectrum of ZnPc(COOH)4, associated with spitting, to (νsym(COO)) and (νasym(COO)) that correspond to deprotonated carboxylic group. The absorption spectra of ZnPc(COOH)₄ revealed IR Q band with two subbands situated at 640 nm 700 nm. Also, the effect of various ZnPc(COOH) and Ch/Fe3O4 concentrations on absorbance of ZnPc(COOH)4/Ch/Fe3O4 supramolecular architecture is discussed.
