Phthalocyanine Complexes (phthalocyanine + complex)
Selected AbstractsPhotophysical and Photochemical Properties of Fluorinated and Nonfluorinated n -Propanol-Substituted Zinc PhthalocyaninesEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2010lke Gürol Abstract The synthesis of symmetrical fluorinated and nonfluorinated zinc(II) phthalocyanine derivatives obtained from 4,5-dichlorophthalonitrile, 4-nitrophthalonitrile and 3-nitrophthalonitrile substituted with 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propanol and n -propanol are described. The comparison of the photophysicochemical properties of fluorinated and nonfluorinated substituted zinc(II) phthalocyanines is reported for the first time. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and 19F NMR spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy and mass spectra. The photophysical and photochemical properties of the compounds were studied in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The complexes were quenched with benzoquinone (BQ), and their fluorescence-quenching properties were investigated in the same solvent. The effects of the number of the substitution and the position on the photophysical and photochemical parameters of the zinc(II) phthalocyanines 1a,7a are also reported. Photophysical and photochemical properties of phthalocyanine complexes are very useful for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer applications. In particular, high singlet-oxygen quantum yields are very important for Type II mechanisms. These complexes have good singlet-oxygen quantum yields and show potential as Type-II photosensitizers.

Zhou Abstract The synthesis, characterization, and photophysics of a series of solution-processable and tractable di-, oligo-, and polymetallaynes of some group 10,12 transition metals are presented. Most of these materials are colorless with very good optical transparencies in the visible spectral region and exhibit excellent optical power limiting (OPL) for nanosecond laser pulse. Their OPL responses outweigh those of the state-of-the-art reverse saturable absorption dyes such as C60, metalloporphyrins, and metallophthalocyanines that are all associated with very poor optical transparencies. On the basis of the results from photophysical studies and theoretical calculations, both the absorption of triplet and intramolecular charge-transfer states can contribute to the enhancement of the OPL properties for these materials. Electronic influence of the type, spatial arrangement, and geometry of metal groups on the optical transparency/nonlinearity optimization is evaluated and discussed in detail. The positive contribution of transition metal ions to the OPL of these compounds generally follows the order: Pt,>,Au,>,Hg,>,Pd. The optical-limiting thresholds for these polymetallaynes can be as low as 0.07,J,cm,2 at 92,% linear transmittance and these highly transparent materials manifest very impressive figure of merit ,ex/,o values (up to 22.48), which are remarkably higher than those of the benchmark C60 and metal phthalocyanine complexes. The present work demonstrates an attractive approach to developing materials offering superior OPL/optical transparency trade-offs and these metallopolyynes are thus very promising candidates for use in practical OPL devices for the protection of human eyes and other delicate optical sensors. [source] Comparative Reactivity of Hypervalent Iodine Oxidants in Metalloporphyrin-Catalyzed Oxygenation of Hydrocarbons: Iodosylbenzene Sulfate and 2-Iodylbenzoic Acid Ester as Safe and Convenient Alternatives to IodosylbenzeneADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 5 2009Abstract A comparative study of the reactivity of 2-iodylbenzoic acid isopropyl ester (IBX-ester), oligomeric iodosylbenzene sulfate [(PhIO)3,SO3]n, and iodosylbenzene in the oxygenation of anthracene in the presence of metal porphyrin or phthalocyanine complexes is reported. Results of this study demonstrate that oligomeric iodosylbenzene sulfate and the IBX-ester are the most reactive oxygenating reagents that can be used as a safe and convenient alternative to the thermally unstable and potentially explosive iodosylbenzene. [source] Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity of novel Co(II) and Pd(II)-perfluoroalkylphthalocyanine in fluorous biphasic system; benzyl alcohol oxidationAPPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2009Metin Özer Abstract Tetrakis[heptadecafluorononyl] substituted phthalocyanine complexes were prepared by template synthesis from 4-(heptadecafluorononyloxy)phthalonitrile with Co(CH3COO)·2H2O or PdCl2 in 2- N, N -dimethylaminoethanol. The corresponding phthalonitrile was obtained from heptadecafluorononan-1-ol and 4-nitrophthalonitrile with K2CO3 in DMF at 50 °C. The structures of the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, UV,vis and MALDI-TOF MS spectroscopic methods. Metallophthalocyanines are soluble in fluoroalkanes such as perfluoromethylcyclohexane (PFMCH). The complexes were tested as catalysts for benzyl alcohol oxidation with tert -butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) in an organic,fluorous biphasic system (n -hexane,PFMCH). The oxidation of benzyl alcohol was also tested with different oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide, m -chloroperoxybenzoic acid, molecular oxygen and oxone in n -hexane,PFMCH. TBHP was found to be the best oxidant for benzyl alcohol oxidation since higher conversion and selectivity were observed when this oxidant was used. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] |
