Xb. Wang et al., Synthesis, spectral and aggregation properties of a novel water-soluble tetracarboxynaphthalocyaninatozinc, DYE PIGMENT, 41(3), 1999, pp. 193-198
A water-soluble tetracarboxynaphthalocyaninatozinc was prepared by hydrolys
is of a novel tetracyano naphthalocyaninatozinc for the first time. Some fa
ctors affecting the kinds and yields of product are discussed and solvent e
ffects affecting their visible absorption spectra are also reported. The co
mpound showed a great tendency to form aggregate in NaOH solution. However,
CTAB dissociated the aggregates to form cationic micelles. In DMSO, the de
gree of aggregation was different, and the aggregates were demonstrated to
be dimers. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
