AA

  • Standard solutions were reprepared by Melissa Novy. Please refer to Melissa Novy's lab notebook for calculations and preparation

Crosslinking

  • The general protocol for crosslinking glutaraldehyde films described on 2012/09/14 was followed.
  • For the films containing porphyrin, the exact amount of H2SO4 fixant solution used, 1% aqueous HCl solution used, and sodium bicarbonate solution used was recorded. Small samples of each of the three samples used for crosslinking were saved for later UV-vis analysis

Mass of film after crosslinking (g) 2.4394 ... 3.0290

Crosslinking notes:

  • While porphyrin film was in the H2SO4 fixant solution, the film changed color from pink to yellow. Some yellow color leaked into the solution(uniformly). A good portion of color leaked out of during this step.
  • While taking out the film from the 1% aqueous HCl solution, the film did not have a frosted color to it(as other films not containing porphyrin had at this step). Instead, the film turned from yellowish to a relatively greenish tint. A good portion of color leaked out of the film during this
