Novel Zn(II) phthalocyanine and naphthalocyanine DBU complexes have been prepared in a one-pot synthesis reacting phthalonitrile precursors with an excess of DBU (1,8- diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene). For the first time, it has been well evidenced that DBU played the role of coordinating axial ligand together with the well known role of strong base. Also, DBU complexes showed better solubility in organic solvents due to the coordination of the bulky axial DBU ligand, compared to the Zn(II) phthalocyanines and naphthalocyanines without coordinated DBU. The coordinating properties of DBU toward ZnPcs (DBU free) complexes have also been investigated along with the ZnPc(pyridine) complex. Thermal analysis results reflecting the stability of the synthesized complexes under air are also presented.

Abstract

Novel Zn(II) phthalocyanine and naphthalocyanine DBU complexes have been prepared in a one-pot synthesis reacting phthalonitrile precursors with an excess of DBU (1,8- diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene). For the first time, it has been well evidenced that DBU played the role of coordinating axial ligand together with the well known role of strong base. Also, DBU complexes showed better solubility in organic solvents due to the coordination of the bulky axial DBU ligand, compared to the Zn(II) phthalocyanines and naphthalocyanines without coordinated DBU. The coordinating properties of DBU toward ZnPcs (DBU free) complexes have also been investigated along with the ZnPc(pyridine) complex. Thermal analysis results reflecting the stability of the synthesized complexes under air are also presented.
