Fluorinated/non-fluorinated bisphenoxy benzyl ether zinc(II) phthalocyanine: Synthesis, photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer and intermolecular energy transfer

Synthesis and Applications of Selected Fluorine-Containing Fluorophores

“…Scheme 12. Synthesis of fluorinated phthalocyanine using 4-thiophenylphthalonitrile[53].As shown in Scheme 13, relevant phthalonitriles are synthesized in potassium carbonate and acetone using 4-nitrophthalonitrile and corresponding phenols 61 and 62, respectively[54]. The phthalocyanines 63 and 64 are formed from a reaction mixture of compound 61 or 62 in n-pentanol and DBU mix with Zn(OAc)•2H 2 O supplying the center chelating metal.…”
