Abstract

Attention was paid to the synthesis, chemical modification (sulphonation), characterisation and practical catalytic utilisation of metal free phthalocyanine and a series of phthalocyanines (PHCs) with Zn, Al, Si, Co, Ni, Cu and Ti central atoms. These organometallic compounds are referred to as highly active species due to their ability to produce singlet oxygen upon energy absorption. Photocatalytic efficiency of the prepared ...
