Tetranitrile monomer (3) was synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 1,5,9,13-tetrathiacyclohexadecane- 3,11-diol (1) onto 4-nitrophthalonitrile (2). The metal-free phthalocyanine polymer (4) was prepared by the reaction of a tetranitrile monomer with 4-({11-[3-cyano-4-(cyanomethyl) phenoxy]-1,5,9,13-tetrathiacyclohexadecan-3-yl}oxy) phthalonitrile in 2-(dimethylamino) ethanol. Ni(II), Co(II), Cu(I)-phthalocyanine polymers were prepared by the reaction of the tetranitrile compound with the chlorides of Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(I) in DMAE. Zn(II)-phthalocyanine polymer was prepared by the reaction of the tetranitrile compound with the acetates of Zn(II) in DMAE. The new compounds were characterized by a combination of IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis and MS spectral data. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
