Phthalocyanine Building Blocks — contains aromatic dinitrile compounds such as phthalonitrile, naphthalonitrile, and dicyanopyrazine, which serve as building units for the synthesis of phthalocyanine macrocycles and their derivatives. The double cyano groups at the ortho positions enable tetramerization cyclization to form the characteristic conjugated macrocyclic ring.
Phthalocyanine building blocks are used by functional materials researchers to synthesize metal and metal-free phthalocyanines applied in dyes, photosensitizers, organic solar cells, and optoelectronic devices. Substituents on the aromatic ring such as chlorine, bromine, or alkoxy groups are selected to control the electronic properties and solubility of the final phthalocyanine product.
Example products in this collection: TCI T3067 1953-99-7 Tetrachlorophthalonitrile, TCI C1163 83482-57-9 4-(4-alpha-Cumylphenoxy)phthalonitrile, TCI T1472 36023-64-0 1,4,5,6-Tetrahydro-5,6-dioxo-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitrile, TCI D1610 4733-50-0 2,3-Dicyanohydroquinone, TCI T1402 1835-65-0 Tetrafluorophthalonitrile, TCI D1751 13481-25-9 2,3-Dicyanopyrazine, TCI B5509 70484-01-4 4-Bromophthalonitrile, TCI D1977 22856-30-0 2,3-Dicyanonaphthalene.
Pay attention to the position and type of substituents on the aromatic ring (halogen, alkoxy, phenoxy), as they determine the symmetry and the optical and electronic properties of the phthalocyanine formed. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on the page of each item.
