- Description
- Asymmetrical Zn(II) phthalocyanines: mono (4-carboxy phenoxy) tris (phenylazo phenoxy) (1), mono (4-amino phenoxy) tris (phenylazo phenoxy) (2), mono (4-propanoic acid phenoxy) tris (phenylazo phenoxy) (3) zinc(II) phthalocyanines are synthesized and covalently linked to mercaptohexanol (mph) or mercaptopropionic acid (mpa) functionalized dimerized silver-magnetic nanoparticles (Ag-M). Complexes 1 and 3 are covalently linked to nanomaterials via ester bond whereas complex 2 is covalently linked to nanoparticles (NPs) via amide bond. The conjugates of complexes 1–3 with NPs gave higher singlet oxygen quantum than the Pcs alone. Electrospun fibers were fabricated from polystyrene (PS) solutions containing complexes 1 to 3 and their conjugates. The functionalized PS fibers were used for the phototransformation of dibenzothiophene. The increase in photocatalytic properties of phthalocyanines was observed in the presence of Ag-M with 3 alone and its conjugate with mph capped silver-magnetic nanoparticles showing the larger catalytic activity towards the transformation of dibenzothiophene.
