Lc. Liu et al., Synthesis of soluble metallophthalocyanines from a metal-free phthalocyanine by microwave irradiation, J PORPHYR P, 5(11), 2001, pp. 806-807
We report a fast, simple, safe, and effective procedure for the synthesis o
f several soluble metal tetrakis(tert-butyl)phthalocyaninates, M(TBPc) (M =
Zn, Mg, Co, Cu) and M(TBPc)(2) (M = Tb, La), from the respective metal-fre
e phthalocyanine by microwave irradiation. Metal chlorides and acetates are
used as metal sources. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
