The novel 4-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole)]phthalonitrile
and its peripherally tetra substituted zinc phthalocyanine complex
[2,9(10),16(17),23(24)-tetrakis(4-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole)
phthalocyaninato]zinc(II) (ZnPc) were synthesized and characterized
by elemental and spectroscopic analysis techniques. The inverse gas
chromatography (IGC) method was used to obtain secondary transition,
surface properties, and thermodynamic interaction parameters of the
phthalocyanine glass. Phthalocyanine selectivity was investigated
using the acetate and alcohol isomers by IGC method at temperatures
between 313.2 and 423.2 K. The secondary transition temperature was
obtained by IGC method and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
The dispersive component of the surface free energy, γS
D, of adsorbent
surface was calculated in the infinite dilution region. The specific
enthalpy of adsorption, ΔH
A
S, the specific free energy of
adsorption, ΔG
A
S and the specific entropy of adsorption, ΔS
A
S of solvents on ZnPc were determined. The acidic K
A and the basic K
D parameters
of the ZnPc surface were calculated. The values obtained for K
A and K
D parameters
indicated that the ZnPc surface has a basic character. The specific
retention volume, V
g
0, Flory–Huggins interaction parameter,
χ12
∞, equation-of-state interaction parameter, χ12
*, weight fraction activity coefficient,
Ω1
∞, and effective exchange energy parameter, X
eff of ZnPc were determined. Then, the partial molar heat of
sorption, ΔH

∞, at infinite
dilution were determined.
