Synthesis and characterization of novel bisphenoxy substituted phthalocyanines

A new mono substituted phthalonitrile derivative 4-bisphenoxyphthalonitrile (3) was prepared by a nucleophilic reaction of 4-nitrophthalonitrile with 2,2? biphenol in dry DMF in the presence of K2CO3. The metallophthalocyanines (4,5,6) were prepared by the reaction of a dinitrile derivative (3) material [Co(Ac)2.4H2O, Cu(Ac)2.H2O, Zn(Ac)2.2H2O,] by reacting with salts in the medium was obtained DMF. (3) material, Ni(Ac)2.4H2O as a result of reaction with the metal salt, which may be pure and structure elucidation of phthalocyanine complexes could not be obtained. In addition, (3) material, the addition of DBU catalyst metal-free phthalocyanine was obtained in an argon atmosphere (7). The structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been confirmed and characterized by FT-IR, UV/VIS, 1H-NMR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
