Nanoparticles of gold(III) porphyrin complexes that target tumor cells in humans is the focus of this research. To date, we have prepared nanoparticles of the gold(III) derivatives of meso-tetrakis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin and meso-tetrakis(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin under an inert atmosphere using methods reported by Lv et al.1 and others.2 The synthesis and spectroscopic properties of the gold(III) porphyrins along with the solution behavior of the resulting nanoparticles will be presented.
