Synthesis and characterization of 1,2-benzenedimethyloxy substituted novel ball-type and mononuclear metallo phthalocyanines

The phthalodinitrile derivative 1 was synthesized by the reaction of 1,2-benzenedimethanol and 4-nitrophthalonitrile in dry dmf in the presence of k2co3 by the common method of nucleophilic substitution of an activated nitro group in an aromatic ring. the template reaction of 1 with the corresponding metal salts gave the novel mono-nuclear znpc 2 and ball-type metallophthalocyanine lupc23. in this study,we have used the heating of the solid phasemethod for the synthesis of novel ball-type lupc23 phthalocyanines. mono-nuclear znpc 2 phthalocyanine was prepared by reflax in solvent. mono and ball-type phthalocyanines were characterized by elemental analyses,ft-ir,1h-nmr,13c-nmr,uv-vis and maldi-tof ms spectral data.
