Synthesis of zincic phthalocyanine derivative functionalized with four peripheral tetrathiafulvalene units

A zincic phthalocyanine (Pc) derivative functionalized with four peripheral substituted tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) units has been synthesized. The intermediates and target compound have been characterized by ¹H‐nmr, ¹³C‐nmr, ms, EA, uv‐vis and mp. The molecular weight of H₂Pc‐TTF₄ can not be found in mass spectra. ¹H‐nmr spectra and mp determination show both H₂PC‐TTF₄ and ZnPc‐TTF₄ are isomer‐mixtures. Uv‐vis spectra indicate that the aggregation of H₂PC‐TTF₄ is solvent dependent and the introduction of Zn atom affects the solubility of the assembly.
