Abstract

Tetramerization of substituted phthalonitriles in task-specific 2-hydroxylethyl-based imidazolium and ammonium ionic liquids at 100 °C gave corresponding phthalocyanines in moderate yield. Further the reaction of substituted phthalonitriles in the presence of transition-metal salts in ionic liquids gave the corresponding metallophthalocyanines. The 2-hydroxylethyl ammonium ionic liquids gave better yields of phthalocyanines than 2-hydroxylethyl imidazolium and nonhydroxyl functionalized ionic liquids. The isolation and separations of different phthalocyanines were accomplished by silica-gel column chromatography, and products were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques.
