Synthesis and characterization of di-disubstituted phthalocyanines

Abstract: An improved approach to the synthesis of di-disubstituted phthalocyanines from two different phthalyl precursors is described. The method combines substituted 1,3 diiminoisoindoles and 6/7-nitro-1,3,3-trichloroisoindolenine to synthesize phthalocyanine. The method can be applied to the synthesis of hydrogen and metallo phtahlocyanine. The yields are variable, ranging from 17% to 72% depending on the substituents.

Synthesis and Nonlinear Optical, Photophysical, and Electrochemical Properties of Subphthalocyanines

Abstract: Novel boron(III) subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) soluble in organic solvents containing a variety of donor and acceptor substituent groups have been synthesized by boron trihalide-induced cyclotrimerization of adequately substituted derivatives of phthalonitrile in 1-chloronaphthalene. The choice of the substituents on the 1,2-dicyanobenzene derivatives has been made taking into account the high reactivity of the Lewis acid BCl3 toward many functional groups. Considering this limitation, we set out to synthesize phthalodinitriles equipped with iodo, nitro, alkyl- or arylthio, alkyl- or arylsulfonyl groups that are sufficiently stable under the required reaction conditions and also provide an easily accessible set of acceptor/donor substituents. The quadratic and cubic hyperpolarizabilities of these compounds as well as their linear optical and electrochemical properties have been measured by several techniques, including EFISH (at two wavelengths), HRS, and THG, steady-state and time-resolved absorption and f...

Phthalonitrile‐based high temperature resin

Abstract: An aromatic, diether-linked phthalonitrile resin, prepared from 4,4′-bis(3,4-dicyanophenoxy)biphenyl, exhibits excellent thermo-oxidative properties. The resin is easily processed from the melt of the monomer in a controlled manner as a function of the amine curing agent and processing temperatures. Polymerization occurs by a cyclic addition reaction without the formation of volatile by-products. The polymerization reaction can be stopped at a prepolymer stage. The prepolymer can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without further reaction. The modulus and viscoelastic properties of the resin were found to be a function of the postcuring conditions.

Synthesis and properties of a bisphenol A based phthalonitrile resin

Abstract: A multiple aromatic ether linked phthalonitrile was synthesized and characterized. The oligomeric phthalonitrile monomer was prepared from the reaction of an excess amount of bisphenol A with 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone in the presence of K 2 CO 3 as the base in an N,N-dimethylformamide/toluene solvent mixture, followed by end capping with 4-nitrophthalonitrile in a two-step, one-pot reaction. The monomer properties were compared to those of the known resin 2,2-bis[4-(3,4-dicyanophenoxylphenyl]propane after being cured in the presence of bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)-phenyllsulfone. Rheometric measurements and thermogravimetric analysis showed that the oligomeric phthalonitrile resin maintained good structural integrity upon heating to elevated temperatures and exhibited excellent thermal properties along with long-term oxidative stability. The ether-linked phthalonitrile resin absorbed less than 2.5% water by weight after exposure to an aqueous environment for extended periods.
