Unsymmetrically substituted (phthalocyaninato)nickel(II) ylphthalonitrile (1) and separated by column chromatogracomplexes 3-7 were synthesized by statistical condensation phy. The obtained phthalocyanines 3 -7 were characterized of 4,5-dipentoxy-(2a), 4,5-diheptyl-(2b), 3,6-dihexoxy-(2c), by UV-, IR-, and 'H-NMR spectroscopy. and 3,6-diheptylphthalonitrile (2d) with 3,4,5,6-tetraphen-
