Denekamp, Ilse M. published the artcileA simple synthesis of symmetric phthalocyanines and their respective perfluoro and transition-metal complexes, Product Details of C8H4N2, the main research area is phthalocyanine transition metal complex preparation.
The authors report a simple synthesis protocol for making phthalocyanines (Pcs) starting from phthalonitriles. This method is general and requires no specialized equipment. The complexes are isolated and characterized using x-ray diffraction, NMR, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry. First, the authors study and present a 1-step synthesis route to a metal-free Pc (H2PcH16), as well as to the corresponding MPcH16 complexes of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn. Then, this route can also be used to make the fluorinated Pc analogs (MPcF16). Finally, the authors present a new and useful procedure for inserting a metal ion into a metal-free H2PcH16 ring, by direct metalation, yielding the corresponding MPcH16 complex. This last method is especially useful if you want to make different MPcH16 complexes.
