Synthesis, characterization and investigation of homogeneous oxidation activities of peripherally tetra-substituted Co(II) and Fe(II) phthalocyanines: Oxidation of cyclohexene

Synthesis of axially disubstituted silicon phthalocyanines and investigation of their in vitro cytotoxic/phototoxic anticancer activities

In this study, two SiPcs have been selected and the photodynamic therapy potentials were evaluated of the Pcs. Synthesis of Axially 2-decyn-1-oxy disubstituted Es-SiPc-2 was newly synthesized by the reaction of SiPcCl2 with 2-decyn-1-ol in the presence of NaH in toluene. Furthermore, their nuclear imaging potentials were evaluated in human colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) and human lung fibroblast cell (WI-38) cell lines. The uptake results have indicated that Es-SiPc labeled with [Formula: see text]I radionuclide ([Formula: see text]I-Es-SiPc) was approximately 2-fold higher in the HT-29 cell line than the WI-38 cell line. In other words, the target/non-target tissue ratio is defined as two in the HT-29/WI-38 cell lines. Besides, the uptake values of [Formula: see text]I-Es-SiPc were found to be higher than [Formula: see text]I-Es-SiPc-2. [Formula: see text]I-Es-SiPc and [Formula: see text]I-Es-SiPc-2 are promising for imaging or treating colon adenocarcinoma. In vitrophotodynamic therapy (PDT) studies have shown that both compounds are suitable and can be used in this field. Also, Es-SiPc has been shown to have higher phototoxicity than Es-SiPc-2.

Application of response surface methodology for optimization of oxytetracycline hydrochloride degradation using hydrogen peroxide/polystyrene-supported iron phthalocyanine oxidation process

Inspired by metalloporphyrin-based enzymes, a biomimetic catalyst, R-N-Fe, was prepared by grafting iron phthalocyanine (FePc) covalently onto a macroporous chloromethylated polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin (R), which was pre-functionalized using 4-aminopyridine (4-ampy) as an axial ligand. The novel catalyst was used for the degradation of oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTCH). The response surface methodology was employed to optimize the independent operating parameters, including temperature, catalyst amount, H₂O₂ dosage, and initial pH value. The results displayed that the initial pH and temperature had the most significant effect on the removal efficiency. Under optimum conditions, the OTCH removal efficiency was 93.98%. Additionally, the classical quenching experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) test indicated that R-N-Fe could generate hydroxyl radicals by decomposing H₂O₂, which was the main active species for eliminating OTCH. Furthermore, R-N-Fe can be easily recycled and can maintain high stability in the reusability test, rendering it a good potential for practical application.

Theoretical Studies of the Zeolite-Y Encapsulated Chlorine-Substituted Copper(II)phthalocyanine Complex on the Formation Glycidol from Allyl Alcohol

Density functional theory (DFT) used to study the encapsulation of copper(II)phthalocyanine and chlorine-substituted copper(II)phthalocyanine to a zeolite-Y framework. Changes occurring in the redox properties, as well as the red shift of the time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) spectra, point out the influence of encapsulation on the geometric parameters of the complexes. Also, the TD-DFT calculations show good agreement with the energy changes occurred in the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. DFT-based descriptors are used for scrutinizing the reactivity of the encapsulated complexes and a mechanism of the glycidol formation is proposed based on the energetics involved in the transformation.

Iron phthalocyanine supported on amidoximated PAN fiber as effective catalyst for controllable hydrogen peroxide activation in oxidizing organic dyes

Iron(II) phthalocyanine was immobilized onto amidoximated polyacrylonitrile fiber to construct a bioinspired catalytic system for oxidizing organic dyes by H₂O₂ activation. The amidoxime groups greatly helped to anchor Iron(II) phthalocyanine molecules onto the fiber through coordination interaction, which has been confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy analyses. Electron spin resonance studies indicate that the catalytic process of physically anchored Iron(II) phthalocyanine performed via a hydroxyl radical pathway, while the catalyst bonded Iron(II) phthalocyanine through coordination effect could selectively catalyze the H₂O₂ decomposition to generate high-valent iron-oxo species. This may result from the amidoxime groups functioning as the axial fifth ligands to favor the heterolytic cleavage of the peroxide OO bond. This feature also enables the catalyst to only degrade the dyes adjacent to the catalytic active centers and enhances the efficient utilization of H₂O₂. In addition, this catalyst could effectively catalyze the mineralization of organic dyes and can be easily recycled without any loss of activity.
