Regioisomer-free C4h β-tetrakis(tert-butyl)metallo-phthalocyanines: Regioselective synthesis and spectral investigations

Metal β-tetrakis(tert-butyl)phthalocyanines are the most commonly used phthalocyanines due to their high solubility, stability, and accessibility. They are commonly used as a mixture of four regioisomers, which arise due to the tert-butyl substituent on the β-position, and to the best of our knowledge, their regioselective synthesis has yet to be reported. Herein, the C4h-selective synthesis of β-tetrakis(tert-butyl)metallophthalocyanines is disclosed. Using tetramerization of α-trialkylsilyl phthalonitriles with metal salts following acid-mediated desilylation, the desired metallophthalocyanines were obtained in good yields. Upon investigation of regioisomer-free zinc β-tetrakis(tert-butyl)phthalocyanine using spectroscopy, the C4h single isomer described here was found to be distinct in the solid state to zinc β-tetrakis(tert-butyl)phthalocyanine obtained by a conventional method.

Efficiency enhancement of P3HT/PCBM bulk heterojunction solar cells by attaching zinc phthalocyanine to the chain-end of P3HT

A new solution processable zinc phthalocyanine dye (ZnPc), as an interface modifier between poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C 61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) in bulk heterojunction solar cells, was successively synthesized an

Some peculiarities of metal exchange reactions in porphyrin and phthalocyanine complexes

Kinetics of metal exchange reaction Cd(II) → Zn(II) and Cd(II) → Cu(II) in Cd complexes with tetraphenylporphyrin in DMSO is studied. Reaction with Cu(II) nitrate occurs in both cases more vigorously as compared to that with Zn(II) nitrate. Conditions for metal exchange reactions are studied depending on the nature of metal porphyrinate, a salt (nitrates, acetates, and chlorides of Zn(II), Cu(II), and Co(II), and of organic solvent (DMSO, CH 3CN). It is shown that Zn(II) complexes with nonplanar porphyrins do not show metal exchange Zn(II) → Cu(II) or Zn(II) → Co(II) under mild conditions in DMSO and CH3CN.
