4,4Ј-(1,4-Phenylenebis(oxy)diphthalonitrile was synthesized by reaction of hydroquinone with 4-nitrophthalonitrile. Binuclear metallophthalocyanines 2-4 were obtained by the reaction between 4,4Ј-(1,4-phenylenebis(oxy)diphthalonitrile and 4-(benzo [d] [1,3] dioxol-5-ylmethoxy)phthalonitrile in the presence of metal salts. These new compounds were characterized by using elemental analysis, FTIR, 1 H-NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopic data. Thermal properties of * Prof. Dr. M. S. Agırtaş
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.
