Cobalt β-tetra(3-oxyflavone/2-(2-oxyphenyl)benzoxazole)phthalocyanines and their carbon nanotube conjugates: Formation, characterization and dopamine electrocatalysis

Novel flavone (flav) and benzoxazole (bo) tetrasubstituted cobalt phthalocyanines [CoPc-flav (3) and CoPc-bo (4)] were formulated, characterized and electrochemically analyzed. Electrocatalytic behaviors of the CoPcs and their carbon nanotubes conjugates were explored towards dopamine.56
