The synthesis, characterization and investigation of photocatalytic properties of novel hybrid ZnO materials additive with novel peripherally Zinc(II) phthalocyanine

In this thesis, 4-(4-(1,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazo-2-yl)phenoxy phthalonitrile was firstly synthesized from 4- (1,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)phenol and the peripheral tetra substituted phthalocyanine Zn (II) complex was synthesized from this new phthalonitrile derivative. The structures of the compounds are characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, ESI-MS, MALDI-TOF, elemental analysis and UV-Vis methods. In the second step of the study ZnO materials were prepared by Zn(CH3COO)22H2O using different N, N-dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) concentrations in isopropanol solvent at 150 ° C by solvotermal method for a reaction time of 18 hours. As a result of SEM investigations, increasing DMAE concentration changed the ZnO particle morphology. In the third phase of the study, the phthalocyanine Zn (II) complex (TFI-Zn) doped on ZnO materials. The photocatalytic effect of the doped materials on the Rhodamine B was compared with the pure ZnO to determine appropriate catalyst concentration. Finally the parameters of pH, rhodamine B concentration, light intensity of hybrid ZnO materials were investigated.
