Introduction

Design of novel liquid-crystalline (LC) materials is an actual area of study in organic chemistiy.[1"6] Phthalocyanine derivatives are quite interesting objects for such studies and widely used on many fields of science and technology.[7-9] Particularly phthalocyanines with volumetric substituents are very prospective materials for optoelectronic devices due to the ability of glass-like state formation[10] and light absorb-tion in strongly fixed spectrum region.[7] Herewith it is desirably for them to be mesogen at a temperature which is as low as possible. It is achieved by introducing aliphatic chains on phthalocyanine molecule periphery.[5,9] Moreover, possibility to form lyomesophases in binary systems with different solvents is a very important property of this phthalocyanine derivatives.^^ Solubility of this compounds in water is valuable property for their investigation and application. The simplest way for designing water-soluble phthalocyanines is sulfona-tion. As it was previously shown,[12] sulfoderivatives of phthalocyanine have lyotropic mesophase in aqueous media.[7]

It is known[13,14] that benzotriazolyl substituted phtha-locyanines readily form sulfochlorides at room temperature. This makes possible to obtain readily, on the one hand, sulfo derivatives by hydrolisys of sulfochlorides and, on the other hand, alkylsullfamoyl derivatives (sulfonamides) with extended aliphatic chains by reaction of sulfochlorides with alkylamines.

Previously it was found[15] that 2,9,16,23-tetrakis(1-benzotriazolyl)-3,10,17,24-tetrakis[4-(1-methyl-1-phenyl-ethyl)phenoxy]phthalocyanines of copper and nickel without extended aliphatic chains exhibit enantiotropic mesomor-phism and ability of glass-like state preserving texture of mesophase' formation.

Thus, further modification of metal complexes of mesogenic 2,9,16,23-tetrakis(1-benzotriazolyl)-3,10,17,24-tetrakis[4-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy]phthalocya-nine by forming sulfo and alkylsulfamoyl derivatives is of interest for investigation of effect of their structure on liquid-crystalline behavior.

But the synthesis of these phthalocyanine derivatives is complicated. Therefore it is important to assess how

these compounds are promising from the point of view of the appearance of liquid- crystalline properties. Therefore, anticipating the synthesis, design and prognosis of these compounds' mesomorphism was carried out.

Thereby synthesis of water-soluble sulfoderivatives and high organic-soluble sulfonamides of copper and nickel complexes of 2,9,16,23-tetrakis(1-benzotriazolyl)-3,10,17,24-tetrakis[4-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy] phthalocyanines which can form a low-temperature mesophase is relevant.

Therefore, the aim of this work is the prognosis of mesomorphism, synthesis of modified copper and nickel complexes of 2,9,16,23-tetrakis(1-benzotriazolyl)-3,10, 17,24-tetrakis[4-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy]phthalo-cyanines (compounds with structures 1, 2) and study of their liquid-crystalline properties.

Results and Discussion

This work consists of several logical steps. The possibility for compounds 1a,b and 2a,b to form mesophases was evaluated on the first stage of the investigation. Synthesis of the objects studied was carried out on the second stage. Finally, liquid-crystalline properties of the target compounds 1a,b and 2a,b were experimentally studied and compared with the results of prognosis.

Prognosis of Mesomorphism on Compounds 1a,b and 2a,b

On the first stage design of discotic molecules and prognosis of columnar mesomorphism for compounds 1a,b and 2a,b was performed by method which was previously used for other phthalocyanine derivatives.116,171 This methodology is based on the construction of molecular models of the compounds and analysis of molecular parameters (MP).[18,19] MP

are dimensionless quantities which are calculated on the basis of structure of individual molecule of compound investigated. Preliminary construction and optimization of models of molecules 1a,b and 2a,b were carried out by Molecular Mechanic (MM+) method from the HyperChem software package.

Then calculation and analysis of MP was performed by using geometrical characteristics of the compounds, as well as a number of other indicators. Obtained values were compared with classification number (1).

K = 2-8.5; Kc =1-2.6; Kp = 0.2-0.7; K = 0.25-1.00;

M = 0.2-0.8; M = 0.15 -0.80; K = 0.08-0.30 (1)

m 7 r 7 ar v '

K characterizes anisometry of molecule as a whole. Kc and Kp parameters characterize anisometry of central core and periphery of molecule, respectively. Ks indicates the degree of substitution of the central fragment by the peripheral substituents. Mm parameter takes account the mass ratio of the central core and peripheral fragments. Mr parameter takes account the degree of the environment of the central core of the molecule by peripheral substituents. Parameter Kar is proposed to account for the packing density of peripheral substituents. Detailed description of the parameters and their application for predicting of mesomorphism in different compounds are given in works.[16-20] Deviation of each value of the calculated MP from the limiting values of the classification number (1) illustrated the failure of investigated compounds exhibit mesomorphism characteristic for DM. Results of prognosis for 1a,b - 2a,b are shown in Table 1.

Prognosis was positive for sulfoderivatives of phthalocyanine 1a,b, equally probable for alkylsulfamoyl derivative of copper phthalocyanine 2a and negative for nickel complex 2b.

Synthesis

Synthesis of sulfo and alkylsulfamoyl derivatives of 2,9,16,23-tetrakis(1-benzotriaolyl)-3,10,17,24-tetrakis[4-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy]phthalocyanines of copper and nickel (1a,b, 2a,b) was performed by methods visualized in Schemes 1-3 for verification of results of the prognosis.

Initial metallophthalocyanines 4a,b were synthesized by heating of 4-(1-benzotriazolyl)-5-[4-(1-methyl-1-phe-nylethyl)phenoxy]phthalonitrile (3) with copper or nickel acetate at 190-220 °C (Scheme 1).[21] All physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized compounds 4a,b coincide with previously published data.[21]

Next step was the synthesis of sulfochlorides 5a,b by interaction of metallophthalocyanines 4a,b with mixture of equimolar quantities of thionyl chloride and chlorosulfonic acid at room temperature for 2 h (Scheme 2). Reaction mixture was poured into mixture of ice and NaCl. Precipitate was collected on a Shott filter and thoroughly dried in a desiccator over concentrated sulfuric acid for 3 days.

Subsequently, compounds 5a,b obtained at this stage were extracted with acetone. The solution was filtered for removal of inorganic impurities and then acetone was removed.

Sulfoderivatives 1a,b were obtained by hydrolysis of sulfochlorides 5a,b with 78-82 % (Scheme 3). Compounds

5a,b were refluxed in water for complete dissolution and then water was removed.

Sulfonamides 2a,b were synthesized by refluxing of acetone solution of compounds 5a,b and octadecylamine with 80-83 % yield (Scheme 3).

Purification of sulfo (1a,b) and alkylsulfamoyl (2a,b) derivatives of copper and nickel phthalocyanines was carried out by column chromatography.

Synthesized phthalocyanines 1a,b, 2a,b were identified by the data of elemental analysis, NMR 'H, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

According to elemental analysis 4 sulfo or alkylsulfa-moyl groups were entered on the periphery of molecule of compounds 4a,b.

The IR spectra of compounds 1a,b and 2a,b maintain the bands of stretching vibrations of hydroxyaryl (1200-1240

cm-1) and benzotriazolyl (at 1040-1050 cm-1 and 740-750 cm-1) substituents previously noted[21] in the spectra of their synthetic precursors 4a,b.

Bands of stretching and deformation vibrations of C-S (1090-1110 cm-1) and S=O (1150-1170 cm-1) bonds of sulfonic groups[22] appear in the IR spectra of sulfoderivatives 1a,b. Bands of stretching (1310-1350 cm-1) and deformation (15501650 and 1510 cm-1) vibrations of secondary aminogroups and band at 3050-3150 cm-1 of N-H appear in IR spectra of sulfonamides 2a,b. Bands of symmetric (1160-1180 cm-1) and unsymmetric (1330-1360 cm-1) vibrations of S=O, as well as the band of valence vibrations of the C-S are also observed.

'H NMR spectra of phthalocyanines 1b,2b contained signals of protons of aryloxy (6.90-7.90 ppm), benzotriazolyl (8.20, 7.88, 7.55, 8.00 ppm) fragments and benzene rings (8.57 and 8.10 ppm). The position of these signals did not affect on the introduction of sulfo or alkylsulfamoyl groups into aryloxy substituents of compound 4b. This fact confirms the modification of compounds 4a,b in para-position of phenyl ring of 4-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy groups because signal of proton in the ortho-position of the aryloxy fragment (key 2 in Scheme 3) is observed practically in the same range (8.13 ppm in spectrum of 1b, 8.10 ppm in spectrum of 2b) as in the spectrum of the starting compound 4b (8.10 ppm).[21] Introduction of sulfogroups into ortho-position relatively the oxygen bridge would result in a noticeable shift of these signal in the 8.30-8.36 ppm region. Shift of signal 2 is not observed in this case.

The signal of sulfo protons of sulfo substituted phthalocyanine 1b appears in low field (9.49 ppm) of 1H NMR spectrum. Intensive signals of protons of methylene groups of octadecyl chains of sulfonamide 2b are observed in the upfield region (3.2-1.2 ppm). Signal of four protons of terminal methyl groups are fixed at 0.92 ppm. Singlet signal of protons of secondary aminogroups of octadecylsulfamoyl substituents presents at 4.87 ppm.

Synthesized sulfoderivatives 1a,b are soluble in DMF, water and aqueous-alkaline media, unlike the initial compounds 4a,b. Sulfonamides 2a,b are soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, chloroform and acetone. Results of studies of the electronic absorption spectra of the synthesized phthalocyanine derivatives (1a,b and 2a,b) are summarized in Table 2 and shown in Figures 2-5.

Hypsochromic shift of long-wavelength absorption Q bands in concentrated sulfuric acid is observed at substitution

of aryloxyfragments of 4a, b by sulfogroups (Table 2). This shift is slightly increased at transition from sulfo substituted phthalocyanines 1a,b to sulfonamides 2a,b (Table 2). It should be noted that the nature of Q bands in sulfuric acid under such modification remains unchanged (broad un the case of nickel complexes and cleaved into two parts in the case of copper complexes).

Sulfosubstituted phthalocyanines 1a,b are not associated in DMF media. The position of Q bands of these compounds is identical to that in UV-Vis spectra of their synthetic precursors 4a,b.[21] Additional absorption band (Figure 3) is observed in spectrum of compound 1b in DMF solution and is not observed in water and aqueous-alkaline media. This band was previously fixed[21] in the spectra of other nickel complexes of benzotriazolyl substituted phthalocyanines. It should be noted that compounds 1a,b are in associated form in water and aqueous-alkaline media according to its UV-Vis spectra (Figures 2, 3).

Compounds 2a,b are not associated form in organic solvents (Figures 4, 5). In the spectrum of 2b in DMF an additional absorption band is fixed at 760 nm (Figure 5, Table 2) as in the case of sulfosubstituted phthalocyanine 1b.

Investigation of Mesomorphic Properties of Compounds 1a,b and 2a,b

Liquid crystalline properties of the synthesized compounds 1a,b and 2a,b were studied by method of thermal polarization microscopy. Results of investigation (Table 3, Figures 6-10) were compared with results of prognosis obtained in the analysis of molecular parameters (Table 1).

Sulfosubstituted phthalocyanine 1a is able to form ly-otropic mesophase in binary system with dimethylsulfox-ide (Figure 7) at heating and to form thermotropic meso-phase at 183-227 0C in heating cycle and at 209-184 0C in cooling cycle.

Thus, substitution of aryloxy groups of compound 4a by sulfo group does not lead to the disappearance of mesogenic properties and leads to a shift of existence interval of the mesophase of compound 1a in the region of higher temperatures (Table 3). Furthermore, we have found that sulfosubstituted phthalocyanine 1a forms mesophase at heating in binary systems with dimethylsulfoxide (Figure 7).

Nickel complex of this structure 1b does not exhibit mesomorfic properties (Table 3). Thus, the introduction of

sulfo groups into mesogenic molecule of compound 4b is negatively affected on the ability of sulfo derivative 1b to form mesophase.

Observation of sulfonamide samples' texture of 2a in cycles of heating and cooling shows that the mesophase is detected only after several cycles of heating and cooling. This compound shows enantiotropic mesomorphism.

Apparently, multiple heating and cooling cycles are necessary to achieve the thermodynamically stable state. This is probably related with the high viscosity of the sample 2a. Orientational ordering is manifested at shear deformation (Figure 8a-c).

Mobility of the sample increases durning heating. Big domain texture[23] with characteristic spherulites[24] in some

areas was shown. This testifies the possible formation of SmA phase (Figure 9a,b).

Sample of compound 2a was glassed upon cooling preserving mesophase texture (Figure 10).

Compound 2a forms mesophase in a wider temperature range than its synthetic precursor 4a. The phase transition Cr ^ Mes of 2a is observed at a significantly lower temperature than that of compound 4a. Apparently this fact is due to increasing of the length of 4-[1-methyl-1-phenylethyl] phe-noxy group at introduction of octadecylsulfamoyl chain.[25]

Influence of the nature of the central metal on mesomorphism of the synthesized compounds is also observed in this case. It was found that nickel phthalocyanine 2b, unlike its synthetic precursor 4b, is non-mesomorphic.

Conclusions

Thus, the sulfo or alkylsulfamoyl derivatives of 2,9,16,23-tetrakis-(1-benzotriazolyl)-3,10,17,24-tetrakis-[4-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy]phthalocyanines of copper and nickel were synthesized at first time.

Design and prognosis of column mesomorphism characteristic of discotic mesogens for these compounds were held. The results of prognosis were positive for sulfoderivatives 1a,b, equally likely to alkylsulfamoyl substituted copper phthalocyanine 2a, and negative for nickel complex 2b.

Study of UV-Vis spectra of compounds 1a,b and 2a,b shows influence of substitution in 4-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenoxy fragments on the position of Q bands in spectra in concentrated sulfuric acid. Introduction of sulfo groups causes hypsochromic shift of the Q bands. Replacing of sulfo groups instead of alkylsulfamoyl increases this shift. Position of absorption bands in the organic solvents does not change.

In the study of liquid-crystalline properties of the sulfoderivatives 1a,b a shift of interval of 1a mesophase existence towards higher temperatures was found.

Alkylsulfamoyl derivative 2a shows enanthiotropic mesomorphism. Presence of octadecyl chains in the periphery of 2a causes the decrease in the mesophase transition temperature and significant expansion of the range of existence of liquid-crystalline state in comparison to the parent compound 4a. In addition, the temperature interval of existence of the mesophase alkylsulfamoyl substituted phthalo-cyanines 2a was much wider than that of the corresponding sulfo substituted phthalocyanine 1a. This is probably due to the significant increase of the length of 4-[1-methyl-1-phe-nylethyl]phenoxy fragments by introduction of octadecylsul-famoyl chains.
