Four polymorphs of the bis-phthalocyanine lanthanoid( iii ) double-decker complexes are crystallized by solution evaporation methods, and their structures determined single-crystal X-ray crystallography.

the interaction of bovine serum albumin ( bsa) and egg albumin with water solublephthalocyanine, cobalt (ιι) 4, 4′ , 4′′, 4′′′- tetrasulfophthalocyanine ( cotspc) , has been studiedby the uv- vis method at ph 7.0 and five different temperatures 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40°c. theformation constants have been elucidated by using spectrophotometric titration and computersquad program data refinement. th...

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 for ...

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, 1hnmr and m...

We investigate a recently developed approach [P. L. Silvestrelli, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 053002 (2008); J. Phys. Chem. A 113, 5224 (2009)] that uses maximally localized Wannier functions to evaluate the van der Waals contribution to the total energy of a system calculated with density-functional theory. We test it on a set of atomic and molecular dimers of increasing complexity (argon, methane, ...

An organic bulk heterojunction (BHJ) was fabricated using a blended film containing Copper (II) tetrakis(4cumylphenoxy)phthalocyanine (Tc-CuPc) along with [6,6]-Phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). Weight ratio between TcCuPc and PCBM was 1:1. The electrical properties of TcCuPc:PCBM BHJ were examined. Rectifying nature of the BHJ was displayed by current-voltage (I-V) curves, recorded ...

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide with renewable energy is a sustainable way of producing carbon-neutral fuels. However, developing active, selective and stable electrocatalysts is challenging and entails material structure design and tailoring across a range of length scales. Here we report a cobalt-phthalocyanine-based high-performance carbon dioxide reduction electrocatalyst materi...

Gold nanoparticle assemblies possess diverse application potential, ranging from industrial nanotechnology to medical biotechnology. Because the structures and properties of assemblies are directly affected by the stabilization mechanism between the organic molecules serving as protecting ligands and the gold nanoparticle surface, it is crucial to find and investigate new stabilization mechanis...

Metal-substituted phthalocyanine thin films such as copper-phthalocyanine (CuPc) are often used as photo-active and hole transporting layers (HTLs) in fully organic photovoltaic devices. In this work, CuPc is vacuum sublimated on an electron acceptor layer of mesoporous titania (TiO(2)) for the formation of hybrid TiO(2):CuPc solar cell devices. The performance of these hybrid solar cell device...

The synthesis of tetrakis(tetrathiafulvalene)-annulated metal-free and metallophthalocyanines 5-8 via the tetramerization of the phthalonitrile derivative 4 is reported. All of them have been fully characterized by electronic absorption spectroscopy, thin-layer cyclic voltammetry, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Their solution electrochemical data show two reversible four-electron ox...
