Thermodynamic and kinetic control over the oxidation mechanism of the natural vanadyl porphyrin series (DPEP)VO in methylene chloride: electrogenerat…
2006
The electrochemical behavior of the natural (DPEP)VO series (where DPEP is the dianion deoxophylloerythroetioporphyrinate) is studied in methylene chloride. The investigated compounds, which were extracted from oil shales of Tarfaya (Morocco), exhibit a typical electrochemical behavior as compared to that of related synthetic vanadyl porphyrins. The electro-oxidation of (DPEP)VO is characterized by a splitting of the peaks when carried out at a glassy carbon electrode. This can be explained by two possible paths (CE and EC mechanisms) which are characterized by a “square diagram” where the chemical step, C, corresponds to a dimerization (radical–radical or substrate–substrate reaction). The…
Correlation between the Ionicity Character and the Charge Density in Semiconductors
1994
Using the electronic charge densities obtained by the empirical pseudopotential method for tetrahedrally bonded semiconductors, an ionicity scale is established that is in good agreement with the Phillips ionicity scale.
Separation and identification of petroporphyrins extracted from the oil shales of Tarfaya: geochemical study
2002
Abstract Vanadyl and nickel porphyrins were isolated from the oil shales of Tarfaya (Morocco) by extraction followed by column chromatography. The ratios and characteristics of these porphyrin complexes were essentially obtained on the basis of UV–visible and mass spectrometry data. Geochemical information could be drawn from these data. The nature and the contents of the metals coordinated and non-coordinated to porphyrin systems were also determined in this study.
