New metal-free (5, 8) and metallophthalocyanines (6, 9) containing four diazatetrathiamacrobicycles or crosswise-disubstituted attached with two nitro and two macrobicyclic groups were synthesized by cyclotetramerization of 7,8-dicyano-4,11,22,23-tetrathia-1,14-diazapentacyclo[12.10.10.0(5,10).0(16,21).0(26,31)]tetratriconta-5,7,12,19,20,21, 28 30,32-nonane (3), 8,10-dihydro-8,11-diimino-4,14, 24 34,-tetrathia-1,17-diazapentacyclo[15.13.13.0(5,13).0(19,23).0(28,33)]tetratriconta-5,7,12,19,20,22,28,30,32-nonaisoiminoindoline (4) or 6-nitro-1,3,3-trichloroisoindolenine (7) in the presence of the corresponding metal salt or a strong organic base. The new compounds were characterized by a combination of elemental analysis and H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, IR, UV-Vis and MS spectral data.
