Facile Synthesis of Polyaniline Nanoparticle Doped with Hematoporphyrin in Ionic Liquid

Polyaniline (PANI) doped with hematoporphyrin as dopant was chemically synthesized in ionic liquid (IL) with good yields. The resulting PANIs were characterized by spectroscopic and thermal analysis UV-visible and FT-IR analysis. thermogravimetric analysis suggested that PANI doped with hematoporphyrin indicated higher solubility than those with the PANI undoped. The yield and conductivity of PANI doped with hematoporphyrin were found to be higher than the PANI undoped. The PANI doped with hematoporphyrin was readily soluble in organic solvents including DMF and NMP.
