The novel four lead phthalocyanines were prepared from three different phthalonitrile derivatives, namely 3,4-dicyanophenylmalonate, 1-chloro-3,4-dicyano-6-(1,1-dicarbethoxymethyl)benzene, 1-hexylthio-3,4-dicyano-6-(1,1-dicarbethoxy-methyl) benzene and metal salts (PbO or Pb(OAc) 2 Á3H 2 O). Transesterification occurred when the reaction was carried out in hexanol in the presence of DBU. These new lead-phthalocyanines have been characterized by 1 H NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis and mass spectra. Two common points in these lead phthalocyanines are intense Q band absorptions in the near-IR region and relatively lower stability of the metal ion in the phthalocyanine cavity.
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.
