Description:

Metal (II) phthalocyanines (for example MgPc, ZnPc, MnPc, FePc, CoPc), although they have been known for several decades, are still of great interest due to their various applications. The properties of metallophthalocyanines of the transition metals, as representatives of the metallophthalocyanine family with the metal at +2 oxidation state, differ significantly from magnesium and zinc phthalocyanine (Mg, d0, Zn, d10) due to the electronic structure of the central ion (Mn2+ (Ar)3d5; Fe2+, (Ar )3d6,  Co2+, (Ar)3d7). The aim of the work will be to obtain and characterize new functionalized metallophthalocyanines by axial coordination of N- and O-donor ligands, their crystallization, performing diffraction measurements on single crystals and carrying out their structural analysis, as well as investigating their optical properties in the so-called "therapeutic window". In addition, performing DFT calculations of the geometry of the obtained derivatives and TD-DFT calculations and correlation with experimental UV-Vis spectra.
