Metal ion sensing soluble α or β tetrasubstituted gallium and indium phthalocyanines: Synthesis, characterization, photochemistry and aggregation behaviors

Slipped-cofacial J-type phthalocyanine dimers as potential non-linear absorbers for optical limiting applications

“…29 Both the monomeric and dimeric complexes demonstrate common chemical properties. These compounds readily react with nucleophiles under similar conditions 14,26 to produce peripherally substituted derivatives, which were found to have advanced spectral properties, allowing their use in NLO technologies. All NMR and mass spectra obtained for the compounds can be found in the ESI, † (Fig.…”

“…12 However, aggregation can be controlled, for example, by the host-guest assembly strategy 13 or by the introduction of polar substituents in the macrocycles. In addition, the unsymmetrical arrangement of the substituents on the periphery leads to the formation of constitutional isomers, resulting in high dipole moments 14 that are very important for creating NLO materials. 4,15 Lowering of the macrocyclic symmetry opens up new possibilities for controlling the aggregation processes.…”

Novel type ketone-substituted metallophthalocyanines: synthesis, spectral, structural, computational and anticancer studies

“…8 Especially, scientists have aimed to synthesize the phthalocyanines (Pc) that have diamagnetic ions (Zn 2+ , Si 4+ , In 3+ , Ga 3+ , etc.) because of high ROS yields for PDT 9 such as gallium phthalocyanines (GaPcs) 10 and indium phthalocyanines (InPcs). 11 The enhancement of the solubility in organic solvents is very indispensable in the applications of phthalocyanine complexes.…”

Interactions of amino acids with aluminum octacarboxyphthalocyanine hydroxide. Experimental and DFT studies

“…Pcs compounds can form complexes with most elements [2]. Due to their spectroscopic and photoelectric properties, as well as excellent chemical and thermal stability in different environments, substituted Pcs have been studied extensively, especially in recent years [3]. Metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) have been used, for example, as oxidation catalysts, chemical sensors, organic light-emitting diodes, semiconductors, molecular organic photovoltaics, photosensitizers in dye solar cells, photoactive elements in photocopiers, electrochromic displays and in liquid crystalline materials [2, 4].…”
