Synthesis, characterization and aggregation behavior of Ni(II) and Zn(II) phthalocyanines with peripheral monoazacrown ethers
Abstract
The synthesis of metallo derivatives (Ni, Zn) of phthalocyanines (pcs) obtained from 4,5-dicyanobenzomonoazacrown ether substituted with long alkyl chains (5a-d) are described. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, 1H, 13C NMR, MS, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy techniques. The aggregation properties and alkali metal interaction of the pcs (6a-d and 7a-d) were investigated.
