Synthesis and Characterization of New Phthalocyaninato Cobalt Complexes Containing Crown Ether Linked 1,8-Disubstituted Anthraquinones

Abstract

The synthesis of novel cobalt(II) phthalocyanine complexes, peripheral symmetrically derived from 5,28-dioxo-5,11,12,14,15,22,23,25,26,27-decahydro-10H-4,6-methanotribenzo [e,n,q][1,4,7,10,13,19] tetraoxadiazacyclohenicosine-18,19-dicarbodinitrile or 5,28-dioxo-11,12,14,15,22,23,25,26-octahydro-5H-4,6-methanotribenzo [h,q,f] [1,4,7,10,13,16]hexa-oxacyclohenicosine-18,19-dicarbodinitrile were performed. These compounds were prepared starting 4,5-dihydroxy-1,2-phthalonitrile and 1,8-bis{[2-[2-{[(4-methylphenyl) sulfonyl]oxy}ethoxy]ethyl]amino}-9,10-anthracenedione or 1,8-bis[2-(2-iodoethoxy)ethoxy]-9,10-anthracenedione. Cobalt phthalocyanine complexes were prepared from dinitrile compounds and anyhydro cobalt(II)chloride. The novel compounds were characterized by a elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-vis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 2016.
