Polymer square planar metal chelates for science and industry

The microwave-assisted synthesis and characterization of novel metal-free and metallophthalocyanines peripherally fused to four 13-membered diazadithia macrocycles

“…Metal phthalocyanines and their peripherally substituted derivatives were found to be of great technological and commercial interest as dyes and printing inks [4]. Recently, intensive research work was initiated in this field to develop the substituted metal phthalocyanine derivatives as catalysts [5], photoconductors [6], photosenstizers [7], photovoltaic materials [8], and semiconductors [9]. Recently, metal phthalocyanines attracted a great deal of interest in medicine in photodynamic therapy [10][11][12] and as electronic carpets with deodorizer properties for indoor air [13].…”
