Conclusions
-
1.
Some new tert-butyl-substituted azaanalogs, possessing increased solubility in organic solvents, were synthesized for a study of the influence of azasubstitution on the electronic absorption spectra of phthalocyanin.
-
2.
Azasubstitution in the phthalocyanin molecules does not change the position of the absorption bands in the near UV region, while the long-wave absorption bands undergo a substantial hypsochromic shift, the value of which depends on the number of supplementary nitrogen atoms and on their position.
-
3.
These peculiarities of the spectra of phthalocyanins are explained by the nature of the molecular orbitals, between which the correspondingπ-electronic transitions occur.
