Functional fluoro substituted tetrakis-metallophthalocyanines: Synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry

Investigation of photocatalytic properties of cobalt phthalocyanines on benzyl alcohol photoxidation

“…The solvent plays, however, a significant role in stabilizing these species, and a given phthalocyanine can be monomeric in a given solvent. [63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] The aggregation studies of pyridine/quinoline substituted cobalt phthalocyanines (P-CoPc and Q-CoPc) were searched in diverse solvents such as THF, DMSO, and DMF to select a convenient solvent for investigation of their photocatalytic properties. These phthalocyanines did not show any aggregation in the given solvents (Figure 2).…”

Preparation of non‐aggregating novel silicon phthalocyanines axially disubstituted with fluorinated functions

“…In spite of the fact that phthalocyanines bearing electron‐donating substituents have frequently been described, phthalocyanines with electron‐withdrawing groups, especially those containing fluorine atoms, have not been extensively studied . Also, fluorine‐atom‐containing phthalocyanines attract a great deal of attention owing to their thermal and chemical stability; they also possess electron‐transporting characteristics . In particular, SiPc complexes substituted with polyfluoro, perfluoroalkanoyloxy and polyfluoroalkyloxy groups have been reported to show improved solubility .…”
