- Description
- We report on the syntheses of three asymmetrical zinc(II) phthalocyanine endowed with benzoic acid, phenylpropanoic acid, and phenylacetic acid units: (1), (2), and (3), respectively. Metal tungstate nanoparticles, capped with glutathione were prepared and characterized using analytical techniques. Complexes were covalently linked to nickel tungstate (NiWO4) and bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6) through an amide bond. The complexes and the conjugates with nanomaterial were evaluated for singlet oxygen generating ability. Complexes 1–2 and their conjugates generate higher singlet oxygen compared to 3 and its corresponding conjugates. The conjugates show degradation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in fuel with shorter half-lives and greater initial rate values compared to phthalocyanines alone.
