Substituted Co(II) and Cu(II) metallophthalocyanines from new Schif base containing pyrrole units: Synthesis, characterization and investigation of photocatalytic activity on 2,3‑dichlorophenol oxidation

In this article, novel Schif base compound 1 bearing pyrrole moiety has been synthesized from the reaction of 1-hydroxybenzaldehyde with 1,2-aminophenylpyrrole for the frst time. The cobalt phthalocyanine and copper phthalocyanine (3–4) were prepared by the cyclotetramerization of the novel phthalonitrile compound 2 and the corresponding metal salts. The new phthalonitrile compound 2 was synthesized by the reaction between 4-((E)-{[2-(1H-pyrro-1-yl)phenyl]imino}methyl) phenol 1 and 4-nitrophthalonitrile in DMF. The all new compounds (1–4) have been characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, 1 H-NMR/13C-NMR, mass, UV–Vis spectroscopy techniques and elemental analysis (for metallophthalocyanines). Chlorinebearing phenols are of a class of pollutants. They have been regarded as a potential risk to environment and human health. It is important to advanced efective techniques to remove chlorinated phenols in wastewater. For this purpose, we investigated that diferent parameters infuenced the photooxidation process were determined and 2,3-dichlorophenol oxidize to the less harmfull products with high conversion and yield in the presence of Cu(II) and Co(II) phthalocyanine catalysts

Synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic activity of Co(II) and Cu(II) phthalocyanines linked with thiophene-Schiff base substituents for 4-nitrophenol oxidation

A phthalonitrile derivative 4-{4-[(E)-(thiophen-2-ylmethylidene)amino]phenoxy}phthalonitrile (2) and its Co(II) and Cu(II) phthalocyanine derivatives (2a, 2b) are reported. The compounds have been characterized by spectroscopic techniques (IR, NMR, UV-Vis, and MS) and elemental analyses (for the metallophthalocyanines). Photocatalytic activities of 2a and 2b on 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) oxidation are reported. Parameters influencing the photooxidation process were determined; 4-NP oxidizes to less harmful products with high conversion and yield in the presence of Co(II) and Cu(II) phthalocyanine catalysts
