Synthesis and Spectroscopic Properties of a Series of New tetra-Substituted Metal Phthalocyanines

A new class of metal phthalocyanines(MPcs) containing four 8-quinolinol(8-QH) derivative moieties were successfully synthesized and characterized by mass spectroscopy, IR, UV-Vis and element analysis, the results of which were consistent with the proposed structures. All of them can dissolve in common organic solvents, such as dichloromethane, chloroform, and acetone. The effect of metal ion on the absorption of Q band was studied with UV-Vis spectra. The fluorescent properties for those complexes were also investigated.
