Synthesis of axially di- and peripherally tetra-(4-{[(1E)-(4-methoxyphenyl)methylene]amino}phenoxy) group substituted metallophthalocyanines and their electrochemistry

Abstract

In this study, the new phthalonitrile derivative, axially di- and peripherally tetra-(4-{[(1E)-(4-methoxyphenyl)methylene]amino}phenoxy) group substituted metallophthalocyanines have been synthesized and characterized. Then electrochemical measurements of axially di- and peripherally tetra-(4-{[(1E)-(4-methoxyphenyl)methylene]amino}phenoxy) group substituted metallophthalocyanines were investigated with cyclic voltammogram (CV) technique. Phthalocyanine ring based redox processes are recorded owing to the redox inactivity of the Si4+, Cu2+ central cation of NP2-Si, NP2-Cu. NP2-Mn demonstrated both metal-based and Pc ring-based reduction processes, in contrast to NP2-Si and NP2-Cu.
