Phthalocyanine Metal Complexes in Catalysis

(24-Сrown-8)-Linked Dimeric Phthalocyanines and Their Metal Complexes

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Tetrapyrrolic macrocycles, such as porphyrins and phthalocyanines, attract interest in this area as promising compounds with unique chemical, coordination, optical, photophysical and other physico-chemical properties. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The stability of metal complexes with these classes of ligands allows to mention them as promising molecules for the development of novel homogeneous catalysts [15][16][17][18][19] as well as efficient receptors and sensors. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] The dimeric phthalocyanines, linked by rigid or labile linker are in the scope of modern research.…”

Synthetic approaches to asymmetric phthalocyanines and their analogues

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Initially after their discovery, phthalocyanines were predominantly used as pigments and dyes in the textile and paper industries because of their chemical, photochemical, and thermal stabilities. 8,9 In more recent decades the chemistry of substituted phthalocyanines has undergone tremendous growth, [10][11][12] and, in addition to traditional applications, substituted and unsubstituted phthalocyanines have found potential applications in industrial catalysis, [13][14][15][16][17][18] photosensitizers for photodynamic cancer therapy, 16,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] markers for bioimaging, 27,28 antibacterial composites, [29][30][31][32] materials for ink-jet printing, 33 chemical sensors, [34][35][36][37] semiconductors, 38,39 functional polymers and liquid crystals, [40][41][42][43] light-harvesting modules for dye-sensitized solar cells and organic photovoltaics, …”

A novel porphyrazine ligand tailored to homogeneous metal catalyzed transformations

“…oxidation, synthesis of nitrogencontaining compounds, C-C bond formation, reduction and many other useful synthetic procedures). 5 The application of MPcs as catalysts is an emerging strategy and has attracted broad interests due to their accessibility in terms of the cost and straightforward preparation on a large scale as well as their chemical and thermal stability. Porphyrazines (Pzs) represent a structural analogue of porphyrines in which the meso carbons of porphyrines are replaced with N atoms.…”
