Abstract

In order to include phthalocyanine macromolecule in MCM-41 molecular sieve, a inclusion-suitable phthalocyanine derivative tetra-β-(2-(diethylamino)ethoxy) nickel phthalocyanine was synthesized, in two steps, from 4-nitrophthalonitrile and 2-(diethylamino)ethanol, and characterized by mass spectra, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis, which confirmed the proposed molecular structure. The inclusion of synthesized phthalocyanine compound in MCM-41 was carried out by the in situ synthesis method using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as structure template and tetraethyl orthosilicate as silica source in presence of this phthalocyanine compound. The inclusion material was studied by means of X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption isotherm measurements, etc. Results showed that the macromolecular compound was successfully included into MCM-41, the obtained inclusion material displayed mainly prisms and globes, and the material was a kind of mesoporous materials with regularly hexagonal honeycomb array of uniform cylindrical pores and high surface area.
