Kh. Schweikart et M. Hanack, Synthesis of nickel phthalocyanines with one aldehyde group and preparation of a bisvinylene-phenylene-bridged bisphthalocyanine, EUR J ORG C, (14), 2000, pp. 2551-2556
The synthesis and characterization of two soluble, unsymmetrical nickel pht
halocyanines with one aldehyde group in the alpha- (10b) and beta-position
(10a), respectively, is reported. The beta-functionalized phthalocyanine (P
c) (10a) was used in a Wittig reaction to afford the first "real" bisvinyle
ne-phenylene-bridged bisphthalocyanine 11. The properties of the new Pcs ar
e compared with those of the corresponding tri benzonaphthoporphyrazino (TB
NP) nickel analogues 1 and 3.
