First row transition metal complexes of phthalocyanine are employed as catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexene and cyclooctene using iodosylbenzene and pentafluoroiodosyl benzene. The catalysis was performed in dichloromethane: methanol:water (80:18:2) solvent mixture.  The products of the catalysis for cyclohexene are epoxycyclohexane, 2-cyclohexene-1-ol and 2-cyclohexene-1-one whereas ...

Heterogeneous molecular catalysts, such as metal phthalocyanines, are efficient electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). However, the rational design and synthesis of a catalyst-based heterostructure CO2RR remains challenging. Herein, we developed crystalline bimetallic phthalocyanine electrocatalyst (CoPc/FePc HS), which achieved an excellent CO2-to-CO conversion efficiency (99%) o...

The research presented in this dissertation is aimed at the development of electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) based on ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs). The ORR is a key reaction in electrochemical energy devices such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Because of its sluggish kinetics compared to its counterpart reaction (i.e., hydrogen oxidation reaction in fuel cell...

Considerable efforts have been made in recent years to identify an optimal treatment method for the removal of antibiotics from wastewaters. A series supramolecular organic-inorganic magnetic composites containing Zn-modified MgAl LDHs and Cu-phthalocyanine as photosensitizers were prepared with aim removing β-lactam aqueous solutions. The characterization these materials confirmed anchorage on...

For a long time biomimetic oxidation catalysis was mainly associated with metal porphyrin complexes. Phthalocyanine complexes, also belonging to large family of macrocyclic complexes have been under-investigated as catalysts until recently. In this review, we present the development phthalocyanine catalytic chemistry at IRCELYON topical focus on contributions from our group during last 20 years...

In this paper it is shown that the charge transfer kinetics of the oxidation of sodium dithionite at a gold electrode in alkaline solution can be increased by modifying this electrode with cobalt(II)tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine, sodium salt (CoTSPc) or 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin cobalt(II), tetrasodium salt (CoTSPor). Electrodeposition of these catalysts is discussed as ...

The great potential of organic heterostructures for organic device applications is exemplified by the targeted engineering of the electronic properties of phthalocyanine-based systems. The transport properties of two different phthalocyanine systems, a pure copper phthalocyanine (CoPc) and a flourinated copper phthalocyanine-manganese phthalocyanine (F16CoPc/MnPc) heterostructure, are investiga...
