This review summarizes the synthetic strategies for substituted phthalonitriles and
phthalocyanines. Preparation of alkyl-, aryl-, halo-, nitro-, alkoxy-, aryloxy-, alkylthio-, arylthio …

Water-soluble phthalocyanines are promising photosensitizers for application in cancer
therapy and in the photoinactivation of viruses. The water-soluble zinc (II) phthalocyanines 5 …

Metal-free phthalocyanines and metal phthalocyaninates (M= Ni, Cu, Co or Zn) carrying
eight alkylthio-groups on peripheral positions have been synthesised from 4, 5-bis (alkylthio) …

Compound 1 has been prepared by the reaction of 4-nitrophthalonitrile and 2-nitro-2-methyl-
1, 3-propanediol by the common method of nucleophilic substitution of an activated nitro …

A novel tert-butylcalix [4] arene bridged bis double-decker lutetium (III) phthalocyanine
(Lu2Pc4)(5) has been synthesized by the reaction of dimeric lutetium (III) phthalocyanine (4) …

The synthesis of new metal-free and nickel (II) phthalocyanines substituted with four alkylthio
groups SR (R= dodecyl or hexadecyl) is described. The new compounds have been …

A novel macrocycle has been synthesized from 4′-(α-bromoacetyl) benzo-15-crown-5, 4-
nitrophthalonitril and diethyl malonate; its cyclotetramerization gives Cu (II), Co (II) and Pd …

A new generation of soluble metallophthalocyanine derivatives (5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7b, 8b and
8b· 2KSCN) bearing four 14-membered [1, 4, 8, 11] dioxadiaza macrocycles, 14-membered …

1, 4, 7, 10-Tetrathia (12-crown-4)-bridged new polymeric phthalocyanines 9 and 10 have
been synthesized by the reaction of tetracyanodibenzo [1, 4, 7, 10-tetrathia (12-crown-4)] in …

Two new 4, 5-disubstituted phthalonitrile derivatives have been prepared from tridentate
amine thiol reactants obtained by reducing directly two different benzothiazolines. Novel …
