ChemInform Abstract: The Norphthalocyanines Bearing Two TTF Units: Synthesis, Photophysical and Electrochemical Properties

Two new norphthalocyanine derivatives (III) and its free base, which are composed of two TTF units as electron donor and a norphthalocyanine ring as acceptor moiety, covalently linked with two ethylenedithio spacers, are synthesized by mixed condensation of phthalonitrile (II) in excess with dithiomaleonitrile (I) using Mg(II) as a template.
