Scanning electron microscopy images and Resonance Raman spectra demonstrated incorporation of the porphyrin monomers into a fibrous polymer network. Porphyrin/polyEDOT films catalyzed the reduction of molecular oxygen in a four-electron reaction to water with onset potentials as high as +0.14V vs. Ag/AgCl in an aqueous solution of pH7. Further, FeT3ThP/polyEDOT films showed electrocatalytic activity towards reduction of hydrogen peroxide at highly positive potentials, which was significantly enhanced by introduction of the carboxylic acid hanging group in FeH3ThP. The second coordination sphere residue promotes formation of a highly oxidizing reaction intermediate, presumably via advantageous proton supply, as observed for peroxidases and catalases making FeH3ThP/polyEDOT films efficient mimics of heme enzymes.}, language = {en} } @article{LoewBogdanoffHerrmannetal.2006, author = {Loew, Noya and Bogdanoff, Peter and Herrmann, Iris and Wollenberger, Ursula and Scheller, Frieder W. and Katterle, Martin}, title = {Influence of modifications on the efficiency of pyrolysed CoTMPP as electrode material for horseradish peroxidase and the reduction of hydrogen peroxide}, series = {Electroanalysis : an international journal devoted to fundamental and practical aspects of electroanalysis}, volume = {18}, journal = {Electroanalysis : an international journal devoted to fundamental and practical aspects of electroanalysis}, number = {23}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1040-0397}, doi = {10.1002/elan.200603664}, pages = {2324 -- 2330}, year = {2006}, abstract = {A tailor-made horseradish peroxidase (HRP) bulk composite electrode was developed on the basis of pyrolyzed cobalt tetramethoxyphenylporphyrin (CoTMPP) by modifying pore size and surface area of the porous carbon material through varying amounts of iron oxalate and sulfur prior to pyrolyzation. The materials were used to immobilize horseradish peroxidase (HRP). These electrodes were characterized in terms of their efficiency to reduce hydrogen peroxide. The heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants of different materials were determined with the rotating disk electrode method and a k(S) (401 +/- 61 s(-1)) exceeding previously reported values for native HRP was found.}, language = {en} }
