“…Various spectroscopic properties can be altered by changing the central metal ion as well as by introducing the different substituents at the peripheral positions of the phthalocyanine ring. Even though the information on synthesis and structural investigations of metal (II) 2, 9, 16, 23-tetra-amino phthalocyanines (19) and the synthesis and properties of some novel salicylaldehydeÁtetra-amino phthalocyanine Schiff base metal complexes were documented (20) in the literature, to our knowledge no evidence is available on the syntheses and structural studies on metal (II) 2, 9, 16, 23-tetra-imino phthalocyanines starting from the respective amino phthalocyanine complexes.…”
