Mi?crowawe assisted synthesis and investigations of properties phthalocyanines containing hydroxy and azo groups

In this study, some phthalocyanine compounds containing resorcinol, guaiacol and azo groups were synthesized by microwave assisted synthesis method. Total 16 novel compounds were synthesized including 4 azo dyes derivative compounds and 12 phthalocyanines. Firstly, Compound 1-4 were synthesized by azo coupling reaction of 4-[4-aminophenoxy] phalonitrile and 4,5-bis[4-aminophenoxy] phalonitrile compounds with resorcinol and guaicol respectively. In the second part of the thesis, these obtained phthalonitrile compounds were reacted with various metal salts (Mn, Co and Zn) in the microwave medium which resulted in novel phthalocyanines as products. The microwave-assisted synthesis method reduces reaction times and enhances the yield of the reactions. Phthalocyanine compounds synthesized (Co and Zn) aggregation properties were investigated. Synthesized compounds were characterized by using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, UV-Vis, MS and IR spectroscopic methods. Keywords: Phthalocyanine, Azo Dyes, Microwave, Agregation
