Design of N-heterocycle based-phthalonitrile/metal phthalocyanine–silver nanoconjugates for cancer therapies

Abstract

This study reports the anticancer properties of carbazole-containing phthalonitrile/phthalocyanine-modified silver nanoparticles for the first time. In this study, a new mono-substituted phthalonitrile namely 3-[9H-Carbazole-9-ethoxy]phthalonitrile and its metal phthalocyanines {M =...

Supercapacitive properties of carbazole-containing cobalt(ii) phthalocyanines/reduced graphene oxide composites

“…The higher peak current and peak position of Oxd 1 indicated that this process arose from the oxidation of the carbazole substituent and cationic electropolymerization of compound 2 on the electrode surface. 37,68 After Oxd 2 , the redox responses of the oxidation processes completely changed during the consecutive CV scan owing to the electropolymerization of the compound on the electrode surface. The green electropolymerized film was easily observed with the naked eye.…”

“…Since the effects of carbazole groups on the chemical, physical, and optical properties of phthalocyanines have been rarely studied, our group has been interested in research on scientific features of novel carbazole-containing phthalocyanines in recent years. 37–40…”

“…Since the effects of carbazole groups on the chemical, physical, and optical properties of phthalocyanines have been rarely studied, our group has been interested in research on scientific features of novel carbazole-containing phthalocyanines in recent years. [37][38][39][40] Carbazoles include an aromatic nitrogen-containing tricyclic structure and exhibit high charge transfer, environmental resistance, chemical stability, and ease of functionalization, which make them efficient agents for many applications. 41 Recently, their potential utility in electrochromic rechargeable batteries has been investigated owing to their excellent electrochromic and photoconductive properties.…”
