The synthesis of novel, A[Formula: see text]B type unsymmetrical metal-free and metallophthalocyanines bearing one aza dye group Sudan IV and three nitro terminal moieties was achieved by cyclotetramerization of novel 4-((1-((E)-(2-methyl-4-((E)-[Formula: see text]-tolyldiazenyl)phenyl)diazenyl)naphthalen-2-yl)oxy)phthalonitrile and 4-nitrophthalonitrile. The new unsymmetrical metal-free and metallophthalocyanines have been characterized using elemental analyses, [Formula: see text]H NMR, FT-IR, UV-vis and mass spectroscopic data. The aggregation properties of the compounds were investigated in a concentration range of 1.0 × 10[Formula: see text] M–6.25 × 10[Formula: see text] M. General trends were also studied for fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes of these phthalocyanine compounds in tetrahydrofuran. The fluorescence of the synthesized unsymmetrical metal-free and metallophthalocyanines is effectively quenched by 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) in THF. In-depth investigation of the electrochemical properties showed that nitro groups extended the reduction potentials.

The synthesis of novel, symmetrical zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) bearing four ethynylcyclohexyloxy terminal moieties was achieved by cyclotetramerization of novel 4-(2-ethynylcyclohexyloxy) phthalonitrile in pentanol in the presence of DBU and zinc acetate without any protective/deprotective chemistry. Subsequently, this new zinc(II) phthalocyanine derivative was reacted with 6-azido-hexanoic acid under "click-chemistry" conditions to give phthalocyanine-hexanoic acid conjugates linked by 1,2,3-triazole units. The new compounds have been characterized by using elemental analyses, UV-vis, FTIR, 1 H NMR and mass spectroscopic data. The aggregation properties of the compounds were investigated in different concentrations. General trends are also described for fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes of novel zinc derivatives in tetrahydrofuran. The fluorescence of the tetrasubstituted zinc(II) phthalocyanine complexes is effectively quenched by 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) in THF.

The novel zinc(II) phthalocyanine complexes bearing tetra or octa-[7-oxy-3-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxyphenyl)coumarin] moieties were synthesized for the first time in this study. These phthalocyanines were characterized by different spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, electronic absorption spectra, MALDI-TOF mass and elemental analyses as well. The photochemical properties such as singlet oxygen generation, photostability and photophysical properties such as fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes were investigated in [Formula: see text],[Formula: see text]-dimethylformamide (DMF) solutions. The effect of the structure (the position and number of the coumarin groups on phthalocyanine framework) of novel phthalocyanines on these properties was also determined in this study.

In this work, Zn(II) phthalocyanine derivative (TTU-Pc) bearing 13-membered tetrathia macrocycles was synthesized, and the novel Zn(II) phthalocyanine derivative was fully characterized by elemental analysis and general spectroscopic methods such as MALDI-TOF mass, FT-IR, UV-vis and [Formula: see text]H-NMR. The synthesized phthalocyanine derivative has quite limited solubility in most of the common organic solvents. Fluorescence measurement was conducted for this Zn(II)phthalocyanine to estimate its fluorescence quantum yields. The singlet oxygen generation ability was also examined to investigate its photosensitizer properties. General trends were described for quantum yields of fluorescence, photodegradation and singlet oxygen quantum yields of this compound. The electrochemical properties of the molecule were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). In addition, the lowest energy structure, the electronic structure and frontier molecular orbitals were calculated in DFT and the excitation spectrum was obtained by TDDFT calculations. We found that our computational and experimental results were in agreement.

In this study, the monomeric subphthalocyanines bearing azido (2) and terminal ethynyl (3) groups were synthesized. These subphthalocyanines were converted to their dimeric derivatives using azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition and palladium-catalyzed Glaser–Hay coupling reactions subphthalocyanine (4) and (5), respectively. The novel subphthalocyanines were fully characterized by elemental analysis and general spectroscopic methods such as MALDI-TOF mass, FT-IR, UV-vis and [Formula: see text]H-NMR. All synthesized subphthalocyanines showed quite good solubility in the most of common organic solvents. The fluorescence measurements were conducted for these subphthalocyanines to estimate their fluorescence quantum yields. The singlet oxygen generation abilities were also examined to investigate their photosensitizer properties.

Silicon (IV) phthalocyanines bearing one or two biotin groups on the axially positions were synthesized, and these novel phthalocyanines were characterized by elemental analysis and standard spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR, [Formula: see text]H NMR, UV-vis and MALDI-TOF. The synthesized compounds are the first examples of axially biotin substituted silicon (IV) phthalocyanines. These phthalocyanines were designed as targeting photosensitizers for the treatment of cancer by photodynamic therapy (PDT) technique. The phthalocyanine ring was selected for its photosensitizer ability and the biotin group was selected as a targeting agent for increasing accumulation of these photosensitizers in tumor cells. The photophysical (fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes) and photochemical (singlet oxygen generation) properties of the target silicon(IV) phthalocyanines were investigated in DMSO. The photosensitizing efficiency of the studied phthalocyanines was tested against human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells at different photosensitizer concentrations. Both axially mono- and bis-biotin substituted silicon(IV) phthalocyanines present high photocytotoxicity against HeLa cancer cells with the cell survival degree ranging from 13% to 50%. The photosensitivity and the intensity of damage were found to be directly related to the concentration of the used photosensitizers. According to the obtained results, both silicon(IV) phthalocyanine derivatives could be promising as photosensitizers for treatment of cancer by PDT technique.

The synthesis, photophysical and photochemical properties of nonperipherally (α) mercaptoquinoline substituted Zn(II) , TiO(IV) and Mg(II) and quaternized Zn(II) phthalocyanines are described for the first time. These complexes (2 to 5) and their precursor are characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, electronic spectroscopy as well as mass spectroscopy. Complexes 2, 4 and 5 have good solubility in organic solvents such as CHCl3 , DCM, DMSO, DMF, THF and toluene and are not aggregated in all solvents within a wide concentration range. Complex 3 showed very good solubility in water as well as DMSO and DMF. General trends are described for singlet oxygen, photodegradation and fluorescence quantum yields of these complexes in DMSO and DMF. While complex 2 has higher singlet oxygen and fluorescence quantum yields than 3, 4 and 5, complex 4 has higher fluorescence quantum yields in DMF and DMSO than 2, 3 and 5. The effect of the solvents and metal on the photophysical and photochemical parameters of the metallophthalocyanines are also reported.

In this study, ethyl 7-hydroxy-6-chloro-4-methylcoumarin-3-propanoate (1), ethyl 7-(2,3-dicyanophenoxy)-6-chloro-4-methylcoumarin-3-propanoate (2), ethyl 7-(3,4-dicyanophenoxy)-6-chloro-4-methylcoumarin-3-propanoate (3), ethyl 4-chloro-5-(7-oxy-6-chloro-4-methylcoumarin-3-propanoate)phthalonitrile (4) were synthesized. The phthalonitrile derivatives (2, 3 and 4) were converted to their peripheral tetra, non-peripheral tetra and peripheral chlorocta substituted zinc(II) and chloroindium phthalocyanine derivatives. All novel compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, [Formula: see text]H-NMR, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and UV-vis spectral data. Additionally, the spectral, photophysical (fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes) and photochemical (singlet oxygen generation and photodegradation under light irradiation) properties of the resulting substituted phthalocyaninatozinc(II) and indium(III) chloride complexes (5–10) were investigated in DMF, and the obtained results were compared for determination of the effects of the substituents’ positions and the variety of the central metal atom on these properties. The fluorescence quenching behavior of these phthalocyanines (5–10) were also investigated using 1,4-benzoquinone as a quencher. The obtained ethyl 7-oxy-6-chloro-4-methylcoumarin-3-propanoate bearing phthalocyaninatozinc(II) (5, 7 and 9) and indium(III) chloride (6, 8 and 10) complexes showed excellent solubility in most organic solvents. They produced high singlet-oxygen and showed appropriate photodegradation which is very important for photodynamic therapy applications.

Reaction of Ce3+with p-tert-butylcalix[n]arene (n=4,6,8) yields purple crystalline complexes structurally as [Ce(p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-3H)2(NO3)(DMF)x](2 −x)DMF (1), [Ce(p-tert-butylcalix[6]arene-4H)2(NO3)(DMF)x](3 −x)DMF (2), and [Ce(p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene-7H)2(NO3)(DMF)6] (3), whereDMF=N,N-dimethylformamide. The properties and coordination characteristics of the three calixarene complexes were determined by elemental analyses, electronic absorption, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS), TG-DTA, FT-IR, SEM, and1H-NMR spectroscopy. The effect of various organic solvents on complexes1,2, and3has been discussed based on results from electronic absorption spectra. The polar protic solvents showed the most significant molar extinction coefficients in comparison with those of nonpolar and polar aprotic solvents. The Ce3+ions in the complexes are proved to combine with the ligand phenolic groups, oxygen atoms of DMF molecules, and/or OH−ions.
