Abstract

3,6-Dibromophthalonitrile was successfully synthesized from 3,6-dihydroxyphthalonitrile using triphenylphosphine dibromide as bromation reagent. Starting from 3,6-dibromophthalonitrile, synthesis of 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octakis(4-dodecylthiophen-2-yl)phthalocyaninatozinc(II) (ZnPc) was described. TGA demonstrated the perfect stability of ZnPc. The newly prepared ZnPc that was symmetrically substituted with thienyl substituents results in an intensively red-shifted Q-band. The HOMO and LUMO values of ZnPc were acquired by CV.
