Metallophthalocyanines bearing four 3-(pyrrol-1-yl)phenoxy units as photosensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cells

Recent investigations into synthesis and pharmacological activities of phenoxy acetamide and its derivatives (chalcone, indole and quinoline) as possible therapeutic candidates

“…Phenoxy acetic acid exists as solid crystals that have needle-shaped, colourless, readily soluble in ether, glacial acetic acid, as well as in ethanol solvent with medium-strong acid (pKs = 3.17). Further, it is used throughout the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fungicides and dyes [ 41 – 44 ]. Phenoxy acids and their derivatives are associated with a variety of biological activities such as herbicidal activity [ 45 ], anti-mycobacterial agents [ 46 ], anti-inflammatory activity [ 47 ], anti-leishmanial [ 48 ] and anti-viral activity [ 49 ].…”

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

“…Therefore, the possibility and potential of their utility have been studied in a wide range of scientific applications including chemical sensors, 12 electrochromic devices, 13 nonlinear optics, 14 electrocatalytic reagents, 15 and solar cells. 16 Although a lack of solubility is a disadvantage for Pcs, this problem can be overcome with the substitution of bulk/long groups such as alkyl, phenoxy, alkoxy, and alkylthio groups. 17–21 Also, the replacement of the two hydrogen atoms located in the central cavity with more than seventy metals leads to further enhanced properties and applications.…”

Near-infrared absorbing π-extended hexadeca substituted phthalocyanines

“…Near-infrared (near-IR) dyes are required for various advanced technologies and phthalocyanine (Pc) is one of the most important and well-studied of the near-IR absorbing dyes. [1,2] Pc derivatives have a wide array of applications, varying from their conventional use as green or blue dyes and pigments to more recent applications in photovoltaic cells [3][4][5], photodynamic therapy of cancer [2], catalysis [6], organic semiconductors [7], and nonlinear optics [8][9][10].…”
