ABSTRACT:The microwave heating synthesis of (phthalocyaninato)bis(chloro)silicon(IV) prepared from diiminoisoindolene and silicon tetrachloride in quinoline has been shown to be rapid (5 min reaction time compared to 30 min with thermal heating) and results in a high yield (91% compared to 71% using thermal heating). A modified microwave ashing furnace was used to heat the reaction mixture. The high yield has led to a reduction in the purification time to 1 h (compared to 4 h or more using conventional heating).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
