CAS 100043-01-4: ZINC(II)TETRANITROPHTHALOCYANINE

Zinc(II) tetranitrophthalocyanine is a macrocycle that can be used as a photosensitizer. It has been shown to have high activity in the singlet state and is polychromatic, which means it can generate light over a wide range of wavelengths. Zinc(II) tetranitrophthalocyanine has been immobilized on silica gel and alumina, which are two materials that are commonly used for immobilizing macrocyclic compounds. Immobilization of this compound may be due to its high affinity for silica gel and alumina. The mechanism of Zn(II) tetranitrophthalocyanine's activity is not well understood, but it is thought to be related to electron transfer from the metal cation to the quinoid ring system. Mesoporous materials are often analysed using techniques such as X-ray diffraction or UV-vis spectroscopy. Metalloporphyrins are also studied
