Abstract

Nine fluoroalkoxyl phthalocyanine metal complexes (Zn, AlCl, Mg, Co, Cu, FeCl) were synthesized from 4-(polyfluoroalkoxyl) phthalic anhydride. The fat-soluble phthalocyanines were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and fast-atom-bombardment mass spectroscopy. Zinc and aluminum chloride complexes show higher photooxidation ability in solution containing 20% perfluorocarbons than in hydrocarbon solvents.
