Phthalocyanine (H2Pc) is a large,
Properties
Phthalocyanine and derived metal complexes (MPc) tend to aggregate and, thus, have low solubility in common solvents.
There are many derivatives of the parent phthalocyanine, where either carbon atoms of the macrocycle are exchanged for nitrogen atoms or the peripheral hydrogen atoms are substituted by functional groups like
History
In 1907, an unidentified blue compound, now known to be phthalocyanine, was reported.[6] In 1927, Swiss researchers serendipitously discovered copper phthalocyanine, copper naphthalocyanine, and copper octamethylphthalocyanine in an attempted conversion of o-dibromobenzene into phthalonitrile. They remarked on the enormous stability of these complexes but did not further characterize them.[7] In the same year, iron phthalocyanine was discovered at Scottish Dyes of Grangemouth, Scotland (later ICI).[8] It was not until 1934 that Sir Patrick Linstead characterized the chemical and structural properties of iron phthalocyanine.[9]
Synthesis
Phthalocyanine is formed through the cyclotetramerization of various
More often, MPc is synthesized rather H2Pc due to the greater research interest in the former. To prepare these complexes, the phthalocyanine synthesis is conducted in the presence of metal salts. Two copper phthalocyanines are shown in the figure below.
.Applications
At the initial discovery of Pc, its uses were primarily limited to dyes and pigments.
Toxicity and hazards
No evidence has been reported for acute toxicity or carcinogenicity of phthalocyanine compounds. The LD50 (rats, oral) is 10 g/kg.[11]
Related compounds
Phthalocyanines are structurally related to other
2Pc.
