Abstract
Novel tetrakis [(4-(hydroxymethyl)-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxyl)] substituted zinc(II), cobalt(II) and iron(II) phthalocyanines were synthesized by the reaction of (4-(hydroxymethyl)-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy)phthalonitrile with suitable metal salts in 2-N, N-dimethylaminoethanol. The phthalonitrile ligand was prepared from 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy benzyl alcohol and 4-nitrophthalonitrile using potassium carbonate as catalyst in N,N-dimethylformamide at 50
