- Description
- The synthesis and characterization of 2,9,16,23-chloro-3,10,17,24-triethyleneoxysulphanylphthalocyaninato zinc(II) (CTESZnPc) is described. The photophysics and photochemistry of CTESZnPc and those of tetrakis(triethyleneoxysulphanyl)zinc phthalocyanine (TTESZnPc) and octakis(triethyleneoxysulphanyl)zinc phthalocyanine (OTESZnPc), are presented and compared with those of unsubstituted zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc). The presence of triethyleneoxysulphanyl substituents on the ZnPc ring gave rise to higher values of singlet oxygen (ΦΔ) and photodegradation (ΦPd) quantum yields in DMF. However, TTESZnPc, OTESZnPc and CTESZnPc are less fluorescent than ZnPc, judging from their fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF) values. Fluorescence was lower in toluene than in DMF due to aggregation in the former solvent. Triplet quantum yield (ΦT) values were found to increase with the presence of substituents on the ZnPc ring, while triplet lifetimes (τT) were found to vary linearly with the logarithms of solvent viscosities. The fluorescences of the substituted ZnPc complexes were effectively quenched by benzoquinone (BQ), and the quenching data analyzed by the Stern–Volmer equation. The Stern–Volmer constants and the diffusion-controlled bimolecular rate constants were calculated.
