Abstract
An amphiphilic porphyrin, 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra(4-hydroxyphenyl)-porphyrin (P) was solubilized in SDS micellar solutions. By taking advantage of protonation property of pyridine groups of amphiphilic porphyrin and the UV-Vis spectral sensitivity of Soret band and Q bands to the microenvironment of the porphyrin moiety, two-step protonation was studied in detail by means of UV-Vis spectroscopy. The free base, monocation and dication were described in detail in SDS micellar solution. The possibility of microphase transition was proposed to relate to the observation of two isosbestic points.
