| Abstract: | Nucleophilic substitution of the bromine atom and nitro group in 4-bromo-5-nitrophthalodinitrile and reduction of 4-benzoylamino-5-nitrophthalodinitrile gave, respectively, tribenzo[b,e,g][1,4]dioxocine-7,8-dicarbonitrile and 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5,6-dicarbonitrile. These compounds were used to synthesize new structural analogs of phthalocyanine, having oxygen- and nitrogen-containing heterorings, (tetratribenzo[b,e,g][1,4]dioxocino[7,8-b,g,l,q]-5,10,15,20-tetraazaporphyrinato)copper(II) and (23,73,123,173-tetraphenyl-tetrabenzimidazolo[5,6-b,g,l,q]-5,10,15,20-tetraazaporphyrinato)cobalt(II). Spectral properties of the resulting complexes were studied. |
