Synthesis, Spectral, and Fluorescence Studies of Fluorophenyl Methoxy Substituted Nickel Phthalocyanine Complex

The synthesis, characterization, spectral, fluorescence properties of bis(4-fluorophenyl)-methoxy substituted nickel phthalocyanine were reported for the first time. The new compound has been characterized by elemental analysis, UV–Vis, FT-IR, 1 H-NMR and mass spectra. The aggregation behaviour of this compound was investigated in the different solvent and concentrations of in CHCl 3 . Phthalocyanine complex did not show any aggregations. The fluorescent properties of the compound in five different solvents such as CHCl 3 CH 2 Cl 2 THF, DMF, DMSO were explained. Phthalocyanine complex gave the highest fluorescence quantum yield in CHCl 3 and the lowest fluorescence quantum yield in DMSO.
