Synthesis of soluble functional dye phthalocyanines and perylene tetracarboxylic derivatives by microwave irradiation and their photoelectric performances

Soluble phthalocyanines, including organo-soluble tetrakis(2,9,16,23-tert-butylphthalocyanines) ( M ( TBPc ), M = H 2, Cu , Mg ; M ( TBPc )2, M = Tb , Dy ) as well as the water-soluble sodium salt of sulfonated phthalocyanines (( MPc ( SO 3 Na )4), M = Cu , Zn , Mg ), and perylene tetracarboxylic derivatives (N,N'-bis(1,5-dimethylhexyl)-3,4: 9,10-perylenebis(dicarboximide)) have been prepared by microwave irradiation. Their photoelectric performances have also been investigated. Among lab-made cells, the SnO 2glass / MgPc ( SO 3 Na )4 / PDHEP / Al photoelectric cell exhibits the best photoelectricity conversion effect with a short-circuit photocurrent (116.0 μA / cm 2) under illumination of white light 1.201 mW/cm2.
