Synthesis, characterization and ethanol sensing properties of peripheral and non-peripheral tetrakis-(3,6-dihexyl-7-oxy-4-methylcoumarin)substituted zinc(II), cobalt(II), and copper(II) phthalocyanines

Abstract

Phthalocyanines bearing coumarin moiety may exhibit interesting properties and also can soluble in organic solvents, easily. In this work, the phthalocyanine compounds bearing tetra-(3,6-dihexyl-7-oxy-4-methylcoumarin) units were synthesized and character
