MAPLE deposition of Mn(III) metalloporphyrin thin films: Structural, topographical and electrochemical investigations

▶ We deposited (5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl)porphinato manganese(III) chloride ((MnTPP)Cl) thin films by MAPLE. ▶ Globular structures with average diameters decreasing with laser fluence. ▶ Surface enhanced Raman effect was noticed on MAPLE-deposited thin films at 300 mJ/cm2. ▶ (MnTPP)Cl-coated Au-SPE is appropriate as a single mediator for dopamine sensing in the specific case of gold screen-printed electrodes.
