V1 = 3mL of 20 ppm CuSO4
- Solution 2 ppm CuSO4 requires
(20 ppm CuSO4)V1 = (2 ppm CuSO4)(12mL)
V1 = 6mL of 20 ppm CuSO4
- Solution 3 ppm CuSO4 requires
(20 ppm CuSO4)V1 = (3 ppm CuSO4)(12mL)
V1 = 9mL of 20 ppm CuSO4

Fixant Solution Preparation
- Weigh out ~200g Na2SO4
(Actual Na2SO4 Mass: 199.9953g)
- Add the Na2SO4 solids to a 1000mL closed cap plastic bottle
- Next, add ~1000mL of H2O to the bottle along with large magnetic stir bar
- Place container with the solution on a stir plate and stir solution for ~20 minutes or until all solids dissipate into solution
- Add 20mL of concentrated H2SO4 to solution and continue stirring for ~10 minutes more
Crosslinking Porphyrin Films
RECALL PROTOCOL REGARDING CROSSLINKING GLUTALDEHYDE FILMS 9/21/12; however, pay attention to the two PVOH films that will not be placed in the fixant solution during the crosslinking procedure.

Notes
- For PVOH 22K glutaldehyde porphyrin films that were crosslinked, all films maintained a swirled light pink / salmon color appearance.
- During crosslinking and excessive heating, the porphyrin films began to turn lime green; most films turned green upon entering the fixant solution composed of Na2SO4 and H2SO</sub>4</sub>.
- However, the PVOH films in which two drops of HCl were added, initially started and appeared green before crosslinking.
- Most PVOH 22K glutaldehyde porphyrin films had some amount of porphyrin leach out into various solutions during crosslinking. Many solutions maintained a yellow green / mantis green appearance after the removal of porphyrin films.
- For this reason, after every switch or movement of a porphyrin film to another solution, a small amount (10mL) of each solution was collected for UV-Vis analysis. After crosslinking, all films were then stored in beakers full of distilled H2O.
- Upon entering the distilled H2O, each film reverted back and turned pink in color again (darker pink on edges).
