Synthesis and Characterization of Octakis (hydroxyethylthio)-substituted Phthalocyanines

Key Points

• The aim is to synthesize new phthalocyanines that incorporate hydroxyethylthio groups and evaluate their electrical properties.
• Synthesize metal-free and metal-substituted phthalocyanines using anisotropic metal salts or hydroquinone.
• Characterize the synthesized compounds through chemical analysis and conductivity measurements.
• Establish complexes with palladium(II) salt and measure metal ratios.
• The synthesized phthalocyanines exhibit semiconductor-level electrical conductivity.
• Complex formation was successful with specific metal ratios observed in the palladium(II) derivatives.
