4-(4¢-Dioctylaminocarbonylbiphenyloxy) phthalonitrile was synthesized from 4-(4¢-carboxybiphenyloxy)phthalonitrile and dioctylamine in the presence of Et 3 N. Metallophthalocyanines (Zn, Co and Cu) substituted with four dioctylaminocarbonyl biphenyloxy groups on the peripheral positions were prepared from 4-(4¢-dioctylaminocarbonylbiphenyloxy)phthalonitrile and the corresponding divalent metal salts (Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 , CoCl 2 and CuCl 2 ). The new phthalocyanines are soluble in common organic solvents. These compounds were characterised by 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis and mass spectroscopies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
