Synthesis and photophysical properties of metal anthraquinone phthalocyanine

A novel anthraquinone phthalocyanine Al(III) 4 and Co(II) 5 were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV/vis, 1H NMR, HPLC and MS. The photophysical properties of the two metal complexes were studied and compared by fluorescence spectrum method.
