mixed donor macrocyclic moieties

The new phthalocyanine peripherally substituted with a twelve-membered dioxadiaza macrocycle was synthesized by cyclotetramerization of 1,2-bis(2-{4'-[(4'-methylphenyl)sulphonyl]- 1',7'-dioxa-4',10'-diazacyclododecane})-4,5-dicyanobenzene (4) which was obtained from 1,2-bis(2-{4'-[(4'-methylphenyl) sulphonyl]-1',7'-dioxa-4',10'-diazacyclododecane})- 4,5-dibromobenzene ( 3). Metallophthalocyanine was also prepared by the reaction of the dicyano-substituted macrocycle in the presence of anhydrous CuCN. The new compounds were characterized by a combination of elemental analysis, H-1 and C-13 NMR, IR, electronic and mass spectroscopies

Synthesis and characterization of metal-free and metallophthalocyanines containing N2S2-type macrocyclic moieties linked ferrocenyl groups

The new metal-free (4) and metallophthalocyanines (5) carrying macrocyclic moieties linked ferrocenyl groups have been synthesized by direct cyclotetramerization of the pre-cursor, 12,13-dicyano-4,7-bis(ferrocenylmethyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9-octahydrocyclobenzo[k]-4,7-diaza-1,10-dithiacyclododecine (3) which has been prepared by the macrocyclization reaction of 1,2-bis(2-iodoethylmercapto)-4,5-dicyanobenzene (1) with N,N'-ethylenebis-(ferroceneylmethyl)amine (2), in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as a strong organic base. Nickel (II) phthalocyanine (5) was synthesized by the reaction of metal-free phthalocyanine with anhydrous NiCl2 in dry quinoline. The target compound and its intermediates have been characterized by a combination of elemental analysis and 1H, 13C NMR, IR, UV-Vis and MS spectral data. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
