Tetra substitued phthalocyanines containing phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfide groups with oxygen bridge

Phthalocyanines are dark-bluish or greenish macro-ring compounds containing four pyrrole rings. They show intense absorption in their electronic spectra. Two imino hydrogen in the center of the molecule can be replaced with almost any metal in the periodic table to form compounds known as phthalocyanine. In this study, oxygen bridged functional phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfide substituted phthalocyanines were synthesized and characterized. Ligands and their zinc, cobalt and copper phthalocyanine complexes are synthesized from the α-position by the oxygen bridge and followed by various purification methods (washing with various hot and cold organic or inorganic solvents, column chromatography etc.). Then, elemental analysis, 1H-NMM, 13C-NMR, MS (Maldi-TOF) and UV-Vis spectral techniques were used to characterize the purified substances. Antioxidant activities of the characterized substances were determined by three different antioxidant analysis methods and determination of antibacterial activities were made by using agar well diffusion method with the help of Doç.
