We have reported, the synthesis, characterization, aggregation, and investigation of anti-microbial and anti-fungal activity properties of new octasubstituted metallophthalocyanine compounds containing dibutyl 4,4'-[(1,2-phenylene)bis(oxy)dibenzoate)]2,3dicarbonitrile units. CoPc and MnPc were synthesized by the cyclotetramerization of dinitrile with anhydrous CoCl 2 or Mn(OAc) 2. Eight bacteria and one fungus were used to test antimicrobial activities of the newly synthesized CoPc and MnPc compounds. MnPc has two times effective than the compound CoPc for against bacteria and fungus. MnPc showed antifungal activity against Candida albicans. It has been previously proved in the literature that the isoindole ring in the structure of the compounds play an important role in antimicrobial activity.
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.
