Abstract

The synthesis of novel, unsymmetrical, octasubstituted metal-free and metallophthalocyanines (zinc, cobalt) bearing one chlorine, one morpholine moieties and six 4-tert-butylphenoxy substituents was achieved by a statistical condensation reaction of two corresponding phthalonitriles. The new compounds have been characterized by using elemental analyses, UV-vis, IR, (1)H NMR and mass spectroscopic data. Voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical studies are in harmony with the reported metallophthalocyanine complexes, which support the proposed structure of the complexes. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
