Synthesis and characterization of metallic phthalocyanines containing cyclohexene ring

A new disubstituted phthalonitrile derivative the 4,4'-[(cyclohex-4-ene-1,2 diylbis(methylene)bis(oxy)]diphthalonitrile (4) was prepared by a nucleophilic reaction of 4-nitrophthalonitrile with cyclohex-4-ene-1,2-diyldimethanol (3) in dry DMF in the presence of K2CO3. The metallophthalocyanines (4a, 4b, 4c) were prepared by the reaction of the 4,4'-[(cyclohex-4-ene 1,2-diylbis(methylene)bis(oxy)]diphthalonitrile (4) material [Co(Ac)2.4H2O, Zn(Ac)2.2H2O, Cu(Ac)2.H2O] by reacting with salts in the medium was obtained DMF. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been confirmed and characterized by FT-IR, UV/VIS, 1H-NMR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
