Introduction

Development of functional materials in modern chemistry deals with polytopic multicentered receptors.[1-6] Tetrapyr-rolic macrocycles, such as porphyrins and phthalocyanines, attract interest in this area as promising compounds with unique chemical, coordination, optical, photophysical and other physico-chemical properties.[7-14] The stability of metal complexes with these classes of ligands allows to mention them as promising molecules for the development of novel homogeneous catalysts[15-19] as well as efficient receptors and sensors.[20-35]

The dimeric phthalocyanines, linked by rigid or labile linker are in the scope of modern research.[810] The origin of the linker, its geometry and rigidity allows development of ditopic molecules with particular arrangement of phthalocyanine fragments - linear, angular or cofacial. Various molecular fragments were used as linkers in these types of compounds. Thus, substituted aromatic moieties,[10'24,36] ethyleneglycol and thia-ethyleneglycol,[37] ferrocene,[38] metal cation,[39] acetylene,[40] calixarenes,[4142] alkyl chain,[12] annulated arenes [943-45] were applied as spacers.

Crown ethers are of particular interest in this respect, since they present conformationally labile spacer, which configuration can be altered upon chemical impact, i.e. coordination of alkali or ammonium cations. While crown ether substituted phthalocyanines have attracted much interest in past decades,[4647] the crown ether linked dimeric phthalocyanines provide the completely different type of receptors. In this case the preparation of complexes of metals with coordination difficiency provides access to multicentered pincer-type binding site for electron donating molecules or molecular fragments, while the crown-ether acts only as conformationally labile linker.

Several papers were published, dealing with crown or thiacrown ether linked phthalocyanines. They are partly devoted to crown ether linked phthalocyanine polymers,[1448-50] while other describe the preparation of discrete ditopic crown ether linked phthalocyanines.[1351-53] The application of polymeric phthalocyanine networks linked by crown ethers is complicated by the low solubility of the products of the reaction, the irregularity and varied number of linked phthalocyanine fragments. The mentioned peculiarities

result in difficulties of physico-chemical characterization of the products, the broadening of the UV-Vis spectra and inapplicability of mass-spectrometry. Moreover, all the published data report low yields not exceeding 10% for the dimeric crown-ether linked phthalocyanines, either in template-free[53] or Zn-templated[13] mixed condensation of phthalonitriles. Moreover, further separation of the mixture of closely related products is required.

Considering all the mentioned peculiarities of the dimeric phthalocyanines, in present work we focused on the development of the efficient selective synthetic approach for the preparation of crown ether linked dimeric phtha-locyanines with 24-crown-8 spacer. The influence of various factors onto the yield and selectivity of the reaction is revealed. The structures and designations of the target compounds are shown in Chart 1.

Results and Discussion

The unsymmetrical phthalocyanines can be prepared as products of cross-condensation of phthalonitriles. In the case of the crown ether bridged phthalocyanine macrocycles, the key starting material is tetracyanodibenzo-(24-crown-8) 1, which presents two sites for phthalocyanine ring formation. The starting substituted phthalonitriles were prepared according to described procedures (Scheme 1). i54 55] The tetranitrile 1 was prepared starting from dibenzo-(24-crown-8), which was brominated with NBS giving rise to corresponding tetrabromide. The obtained tetrabromodibenzo-(24-crown-8) was further involved in the palladium-promoted cyanation to produce the desired tetranitrile 1. Two dialkyloxyphthalonitriles were selected as counterparts in the cross-condensation, bearing peripheral butoxy- and 2-ethoxy-ethoxy-groups. These phthalonitriles 2 and 3 were synthesized from catechol in three-step procedure, which included alkylation, bromination of the corresponding dialkoxybenzene and either Rosenmund-Braun or Pd-promoted cyanation of the aromatic dibromides.

Typical conditions of phthalonitrile cross-condensation consist in interaction of components in stoichiometric ratio and further separation of the desired phthalocyanine from by-products with different ratio of phthalonitrile residues. This approach is reasonable in the case of mono-nucleus phthalocyanines, since the molar fraction of the desired phthalocyanine is maximal at the stoichiometric ratio of phthalonitriles in the case of statistical interaction of components with equal reactivity.156,57

In the case of the binuclear phthalocyanines under discussion, the A3B-type phthalocyanine, containing single residue of 1 is the semi-product of formation of the target dimeric phthalocyanines. The excess of the phthalonitrile 2 or 3 should be applied to suppress the formation of phthalocyanines of A2B2 and other types on the first stage, since their further condensation leads to crown ether linked oligomers.

The phthalonitriles 1 and 2 in 1:10 molar ratio were involved in the condensation in isoamyl alcohol upon reflux in the presence of DBU for two days. Unfortunately, the formation of the desired dimeric phthalocyanine was determined only by MALDI-TOF MS in trace amounts. The reason for this result is extremely low solubility of the tetranitrile 1 in neat alcohol even upon reflux. The other observed problem was low overall conversion of phthalo-nitriles to phthalocyanines under applied conditions. These peculiarities require the additional solvent to be applied to solubilize 1 in the reaction media, while introduction of metal cations as templates may facilitate the conversion of nitriles to phthalocyanines.

Scheme 1. Synthesis of starting phthalonitriles.[54,55]

The application of chloro- or 1,2-dichlorobenzenes as co-solvents allowed to achieve the solubility of 1 upon reflux of reaction mixture. Magnesium cation was chosen as template since it can be easily removed from the phthalocya-nine producing metal-free ligand. The template cation can be introduced into the reaction mixture in two different ways: by application of magnesium alkoxide as nucleophile in the synthesis[58,59] or by addition of magnesium salt[60,61] to the reaction mixture. We have tested both approaches for preparation of the target dimeric phthalocyanines.

Figure 1. MALDI-TOF MS monitoring of the formation of 5Mg with Mg(i-C^iO)2.

The main disadvantage of the application of magnesium alkoxide in the synthesis is the prolonged dissolution of magnesium filings in dry isoamyl alcohol, that takes up to 24 hours. The contrary approach, consisting in application of Mg(OAc)2 as template and DBU does not possess this disadvantage, while the chemical behavior of these systems is similar. The application of lithium alkoxyde as nucleophile in the condensation is disfavored in the presence of alkoxy-substituents, since their partial substitution under reaction conditions is reported.[62] The formation of the target compound occurs in two steps (Scheme 2). The mass-spectral monitoring of the reaction path allowed to observe both steps, i.e. the formation of mononucleus phtha-locyanine semi-product (SP) and its further conversion to the target dimeric phthalocyanine, as well as formation of traces of phthalocyanine oligomers (Figure 1). At the first stage of the reaction, e.g. ca. 12 hours of interaction, the peaks of magnesium octa-substituted phthalocyanine, SP and traces of the target dimeric magnesium phthalocyanine are observed in the mass spectra. Further interaction results in gradual decrease of the relative intensity of the semi-product peak. The reaction was continued until the SP peak in the mass-spectrum of the reaction mixture disappeared, testifying the complete conversion of the semi-product. Two main side-processes should be mentioned for this reaction - the formation of symmetrical side-product (RO)8PcMg on the first step and the solvolysis of the phthalonitrile moiety of the (24-crown-8) substituted phthalocyanine on the second step.

It was found, that the yield of the reaction is virtually independent from Mg-cation source and Mg(OAc)2/DBU

system can be used instead of magnesium alkoxide with slight decrease of yield. In contrast, the origin of peripheral substituents significantly alters the yield of the target dimeric phthalocyanine and 5Mg is formed with lower yield, compared to 4Mg. The decrease of yields can be attributed to aggregation of (2-ethoxyethoxy) substituted phthalocyanine, compared to butoxy substituted analogy, resulting in its precipitation and further destruction under reaction conditions. Nevertheless, the obtained yields for 4Mg (39-43 %) and 5Mg (26 %) 2-4 times exceed the published yields of related compounds.[13,53] Other reaction media were tested in the synthesis in search for phthalonitriles solubility and increase of yields of products. We applied dimethylaminoethanol, morpholine, DMF and DMAA as

co-solvents with i-amyl alcohol in Mg(OAc)2-templated condensation of dibuthoxyphthalonitrile as model reaction. Unfortunately, in all cases only traces of Mg-phthalocyanine were detected.

The chromatographic separation of the mixture of products at silica allowed to obtain dimeric Mg-phthalocyanines 4Mg and 5Mg as pure compounds. It should be mentioned that chromatographic mobility of 4Mg and (BuO)8PcMg is similar and partial coelution is observed, requiring repeated chromatographic separation. In the case of 5Mg and the corresponding symmetrical phthalocyanine the difference in mobility is sufficient for complete separation. The crown-linked phthalocyanine oligomers are efficiently retained at silica and can not be eluted.

Scheme 3. Synthesis of metal complexes of (24-crown-8)-linked dimeric phthalocyanine.

With the determined optimal synthetic conditions the influence of the template metal cation onto the yields of the obtained complexes was investigated (Scheme 3). We attempted to prepare Zn and Ni complexes of butoxy-substituted dimeric phthalocyanine, namely 4Zn and 4Ni. The yield of Ni complex was decreased twice, compared to Mg complex, while Zn complex was determined only in trace amounts under these conditions. This peculiarity testifies Mg to be better template in the synthesis. Moreover, the separation of 4Ni from the monomeric phthalocyanine

by-product, (BuO)8PcNi, was significantly complicated by their co-elution at silica. Surprisingly, the application of size exclusion chromatography was inefficient for their separation, revealing the similar molecular size of these complexes in solution. The similarity of the molecular size and shape can be achieved in the case of closed cofacial conformation of dimeric phthalocyanine, which can be expected to be favorable in solution because of stabilization by intramolecular n-n-stacking interaction. The possible explanation for specific behavior of Mg as a template in this reaction may

consist in its covalent radius (1.41 A), compared to Zn (1.22 A) and Ni (1.24 A),[63] which can be the most appropriate for phthalonitrile molecules coordination in transition state and further tetramerization. It should be specially mentioned, that the choice of appropriate metal cation in this reaction results in 3-4 times increased yield of target compound, compared to previously reported ones.[13,53]

We have performed demetallation of the prepared Mg complexes under acidic conditions to prepare metal-free dimeric phthalocyanines (Scheme 4). A variety of methods for the demetallation of Mg-phthalocyanines is reported, [61'64,65] which differ in origin of applied acid, from dissolution of the complex in concentrated sulphuric acid to reflux in acetic acid. We applied the mild conditions and performed the demetallation upon reflux either in 80 % acetic acid or 5 % trifluoroacetic acid in chloroform. Both approaches allowed complete demetallation of Mg complexes, differing only in reaction time. The complete conversion with acetic acid was achieved in 6 hours, while in the case of trifluoroacetic

acid only two hours required for the reaction completion. The yields of metal-free complexes are found to be scarcely dependent from demetallation conditions and phthalocyanine peripheral substituents.

The preparation of metal complexes from metal-free crown-linked dimeric phthalocyanines was demonstrated with Ni as example. The treatment of metal-free ligand 4H2 with Ni(OAc)2 upon heating in DMF resulted in formation of 4Ni with 72 % yield. It should be mentioned, that the obtained overall yield for the preparation of 4Ni in 3 steps is even higher, than in the case of Ni-templated synthesis.

The obtained crown-linked dimeric phthalocyanines demonstrate high tendency to aggregation, compared to analogous octasubstituted monomeric phthalocyanines. It can be determined by UV-Vis spectra of the complexes in chloroform (Figure 2). The Q-bands of dimeric Mg-phthalocyanines 4Mg and 5Mg are broadened, compared to (BuO)8PcMg and (EtOC2H4O)8PcMg, respectively. Moreover, the half-width of Q-band of 5Mg twice exceeds that of 4Mg.

We have performed the preliminary semi-empirical AMI calculations in order to analyze the receptor properties of the (24-crown-8)-linked dimeric phthalocyanine with Zn metal center as example (Figure 3). The calculations have shown that in the case of small ditopic molecules - DABCO, pyrazine or even piperazine, the axial coordination to the metal center of the receptor and thus pincer-type binding can be implemented without considerable distortion of the phthalocyanine macrocycle or crown ether fragment. It testifies, that the size of 24-crown-8 linking unit is sufficient for adaptation of the receptor to the guest molecule. The detailed investigation of binding properties of this type of receptors is to be published elsewhere.

Conclusions

The efficient approach for the preparation of dimeric phthalocyanines, linked by crown ether macrocycle, as well as corresponding metal complexes is developed. It is demonstrated, that application of Mg cation as template in the mixed condensation of phthalonitriles increases the yield of the phthalocyanine products of the reaction, compared to other cations and template-free synthesis. The obtained Mg complexes can be efficiently demetallated under mild acidic conditions affording metal-free phthalocyanines. In turn, metal-free dimeric phthalocyanines may further undergo complexation, thus making the developed approach general for the preparation of various metal complexes of dimeric crown ether linked phthalocyanines. The possible application of the prepared type of complexes for the development of pincer-type multicentered receptors is demonstrated by means of AM1 semi-empirical calculations.
