Crystal Structure of 3-(3-Methyl-1H-indole-1-yl)phthalonitrile

Abstract

Indoles are naturally occurring heterocycles and thousands of derivatives have been reported so far.1–3 The chemistry has been developing from a biological perspective, and the research objective has been gradually shifting toward advanced materials chemistry because the electron-donating nature and the rich photo-excited state of indoles are suitable for applications in this field. We previously synthesized an indole-substituted phthalocyanines for photodynamic therapy.4 In this study, we synthesized a new indole derivative, 3-(3-methyl-1H-indole2020 © The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry
