Thus, it is important to prepare derivatives of phthalocyanines, which have an important place in macrocyclic chemistry, substituted with biologically active thiol groups. Within the scope of this study, novel phthalonitrile derivative 3-(4-bromobenzylthio)phthalonitrile (1) and its metallophthalocyanine derivatives [ZnPc (2), CuPc (3), and CoPc (4)] were synthesized. The synthesized compounds were characterized by the combination of standard spectroscopic methods. The molecular structure of the synthesized phthalonitrile derivative and its related crystallographic features were determined by the single-crystal X-ray data analysis. The substitution with the thiol group of phthalocyanine molecules gives them high solubility features in organic solvents. Thus, the effect of self-aggregation behaviors on electronic spectra was determined in organic solvent media. Also, optical sensor properties in the presence of valuable metal ions were investigated by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Furthermore, the photochemical and photophysical properties of newly synthesized phthalocyanines were studied. Finally, the effect of Ag+ and Pd2+ ions on the singlet oxygen quantum yield was performed. According to the results, the newly synthesized ZnPc (2) is a good candidate for PDT as a photosensitizer. Also, the singlet oxygen quantum yield is highly improved in the presence of valuable metal ions such as Ag+ and Pd2+ ions.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144154275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional syntheses via Lewis-acid-base reactions or metathesis reactions suffer from the high Lewis acidity and high oxophilicity of Zr4+, Hf4+ and Sc3+. Therefore, a redox approach using nanoparticles of zerovalent zirconium, hafnium, and scandium is suggested here. Zr(0), Hf(0), Sc(0) nanoparticles, 2-8 nm in size, are prepared by reduction of ZrCl4, HfCl4 and ScCl3 with sodium naphthalenide in a liquid-phase synthesis. The as-prepared Zr(0), Hf(0), Sc(0) nanoparticles are reacted in ionic liquids with 12-crown-4 (12c4), 15-crown-5 (15c5) and 18-crown-6 (18c6) exhibiting ring-opening diameters of 140 to 300 pm. As a result, four new crown-ether coordination complexes are obtained and characterized by single-crystal structure X-ray analysis. The structural variety ranges from the layered structure [AlCl2(12c4)][NaAl2Cl8] (1) over the chiral chain-type compounds [ZrCl2(15c5)][Na2Al4Cl16] (2) and [HfCl2(15c5)][Na2Al4Cl16] (3) to [ScCl2(18c6)][AlCl4] (4) with isolated ions.

Exemplarily, this was confirmed via second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurements of [ZrCl2(15c5)][Na2Al4Cl16] and [ScCl2(18c6)][AlCl4], whereof the latter shows a strong SHG signal (comparable to KH2PO4/KDP) and implies to be phase matchable.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":"132 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144145433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The series encompasses a range of structural variations: different ligand substituents, molecular symmetry, and co-ligands. Structural characterization, including in some cases single-crystal X-ray diffraction, was combined with detailed thermal analysis using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under both atmospheric and reduced pressure conditions. The results reveal clear correlations between thermal properties and ligand architecture, with features such as alkyl chain type, methyl group presence, and overall symmetry playing key roles in determining volatility and stability. Importantly, both symmetric and dissymmetric complexes were found to possess the desired thermal characteristics for vapor-phase deposition processes.
