Photophysical and photochemical study on the tetra 4-isopropylbenzyloxy substituted phthalocyanines

Yalcin, Izzet/0000-0001-6780-1054; AKCAY, Hakki Turker/0000-0002-8502-9608;WOS: 000413037400107In this study, the novel peripherally tetra 4-isopropylbenzyloxy substituted metal-free (4) zinc(II) (5) and oxotitanium(IV) (6) phthalocyanine complexes were synthesized. Furthermore, the axially 4-isopropylbenzyloxy substituted silicon(IV) phthalocyanine derivative (7) was also synthesized. These novel compounds were characterized by different spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, H-1 NMR, UV-vis and mass. the spectroscopic, photophysical and photochemical properties including electronic absorption, steady state fluorescence, singlet oxygen generation and photostability were studied in toluene.Karadeniz Techincal University [FHD-2016-5630]This study was supported by Karadeniz Techincal University - Research Funding (Project no FHD-2016-5630)
