- Experimental and theoretical insights into molecular and solid-state properties of isomeric Bis(salicylaldehydes)
-
A series of five bis(salicylaldehydes), including four isomeric compounds based on a benzene scaffold and a closely related naphthalene derivative, were investigated in order to elucidate the impact of resonance effects and intramolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs) on the macroscopic properties of these systems. Density functional theory (DFT) computations revealed important differences between isomers on the molecular level, which was reflected in different charge distributions, aromatic C-C bond orders, and aromaticity characters. The consequences of these features were evidenced by the UV-vis absorption spectra: for 1,3-diformyl-4,6-dihydroxybenzene (2), the longest wavelength absorption band is observed at 285 nm, while its isomers 1,4-diformyl-2,5-dihydroxybenzene (1), 1,4-diformyl-2,3-dihydroxybenzene (3), and 1,2-diformyl-3,6-dihydroxybenzene (4) are characterized by absorption in the visible range (379-407 nm). The specificity of 2 results from simultaneous lowering and elevation of HOMO and LUMO energy levels, respectively. We have found that the HOMO/LUMO energy variations follow trends observed in isomeric dihydroxybenzenes (HOMO) and phthalaldehydes (LUMO), and these effects operate separately to some extent. Furthermore, theoretical calculations indicate that the UV-vis spectral properties of bis(salicylaldehydes) are directly transferable to the corresponding bis(salicylaldimines) and their boron complexes. Finally, the influence of structural and molecular stabilization effects was analyzed by means of X-ray structural analysis and periodic DFT computations.

- The synthesis of symmetrically octa-substituted phthalocyanines and their physical and photo-physical properties
-
A series of symmetrically substituted phthalocyanines have been synthesized from 3,6-dialkoxy-phthalonitrile and the corresponding metal salts. All of these complexes are extremely soluble in chloroform. Their melting points vary greatly with their different substituents. Their structures are confirmed by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, UV-VIS.

- Octa-alkoxy Phthalocyanine and Naphthalocyanine Derivatives: Dyes with Q-band Absorption in the Far Red or Near Infrared
-
The lithium alkoxide-catalysed cyclic tetramerisation of various 3,6-dialkoxy-4,5-dichlorophthalonitriles, 1,4-dialkoxynaphthalene-2,3-dicarbonitriles and 3,6-dialkoxyphthalonitriles to give the corresponding metal-free octa-alkoxyoctachlorophthalocyanines, octa-alkoxynaphthalocyanines and octa-alkoxyphthalocyanines is described.An unexpected trans-alkoxylation reaction occurs during the cyclisation of the first two series of precursors.Metal-free phthalocyanines and naphthalocyanines have been converted into derivatives containing various metal ions.Compounds show Q-band absorption in the region 739-862 nm in toluene solution.The fluorescence spectra of selected examples are reported.The solubility of some of the compounds has been measured in a formulation of liquid crystal materials.
