Copper (II) phthalocyanine and 2,9,16,23 tetrakis nitro copper (II) phthalocyaninehas been synthesized respectively from phthalonitrile and 4-nitro phthalonitrile under solvent-free condition using two different catalystsovernanodimensionalzeolites. 4-Nitro phthalonitrile synthesized from phthalimide in three steps. The newly prepared compounds have been characterized by IR, UV-Vis, 1</sup...

The introduction of new reactivity into living organisms is a major challenge in synthetic biology. Despite an increasing interest in both the development of small-molecule catalysts that are compatible with aqueous media and the engineering of enzymes to perform new chemistry in vitro, the integration of non-native reactivity into metabolic pathways for small-molecule production has been under...

In this study, novel phthalonitrile 3 and their corresponding metal-free 4 and metallophthalocyanine derivatives 5-7 bearing 2-isopropenyl-4-methoxy-1-methylbenzene groups were synthesized and characterized. 3,4-Dihydropyrimidinones have been synthesized by a modified Biginelli-type reaction with various metallophthalocyanines 5-7 as catalysts. Compared to the classical Biginielli reaction, the...

Recent interest in electricity production using microbial fuel cells makes it important to better understand O2 reduction in neutral solutions with non-precious metal catalysts. Higher O2 reduction activity was obtained using iron phthalocyanine supported on Ketjen black carbon (FePc-KJB) than with a platinum catalyst in neutral pH. At low overpotentials, a Tafel slope close to -0.06 V/dec in b...

The development and implementation of technology that can capture transform carbon dioxide (CO2) is ongoing interest. To end, the integration molecular electrocatalysts into devices appealing because desirable features molecules, such as ability to modify active sites. Here, we explore how identity aliphatic group in 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octaalkoxyphthalocyanine cobalt(II) affects catalytic beh...

Electrocatalysis has become an important topic in various areas of research, including chemical catalysis, environmental and engineering. There have been a multitude different catalysts used the electrocatalytic reduction CO2, which include large classes materials such as transition metal oxide nanoparticles (TMO), (TMNp), carbon-based nanomaterials, sulfides (TMS), well porphyrins phthalocyani...

Three novel substituted zinc (II) phthalocyanines (one anionic, one cationic and one neutral) were compared to two clinically used photosensitizers, 5,10,15,20-tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (m-THPC) and polyhematoporphyrin (PHP), as potential agents for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Using the RIF-1 cell line, photodynamic efficacy was shown to be related to cellular uptake. The cationic phthalocy...
