Synthesis, photophysical and electrochemical properties of novel hexadeca-substituted phthalocyanines bearing naphthoxy groups

The synthesis of novel tetra-substituted phthalonitrile and hexadeca-substituted phthalocyanines are described. Aggregation properties of phthalocyanine compounds were investigated. The energy transfer to phthalocyanine core and radiative decays of the naphthol emission and phthalocyanine core were examined. Besides, electrochemistries of the complexes were studied with cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry techniques.227
