benzene. The IR spectra were registered on an Avatar
360 FT–IR spectrophotometer from KBr pellets. The
elemental analysys was carried out on a CHNS-O
Flash EA, 1112 series analyzer. The mass-spectra were
taken on a Saturn 2000 GC/MS instrument. The 13С
NMR spectra were registered on a TESLA BS 587 A
spectrometer.
carbamide was heated to 230–240°С and kept at this
temperature for 30 min. After cooling, the reaction
mixture was ground to powder, washed with distilled
water to the absence of chloride ions, dried and
purified by chromatography on Al2O3 (1st grade of
activity) with the eluent benzene–ethanol, 20:1. The
eluent was distilled off and the residue was dried in a
vacuum at 100°С.
Synthesis of aryloxychlorophthalonitriles IIa,
IIb (general procedure). To a mixture of 1.8 mmol of
tetrachlorophthalonitrile (I) and 8.5 mmol of phenol or
1-naphthol in 30 ml of dimethylsulfoxide at 20–25°С
was added within 2 h 8.5 mmol of lithium hydroxide.
The mixture was stirred for 7 days at room temperature
and then it was poured to 100 ml of water with ice.
The precipitate formed was filtered off and washed
with 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide and then with
water to neutral medium. The completeness of washing
out phenol was verified by negative reaction with a
diazo compound. The compound obtained was dried in
a vacuum at room temperature and then recrystallized
from acetone. Final purification was carried out by
column chromatography with aluminum oxide of 1st
grade of activity, eluent benzene–acetone, 10:1. The
eluent was distilled off and the residue was dried in a
vacuum at room temperature.
Tetra(4,5-diaryloxy-3,6-dichloro)phthalocyanines
(Va, Vb). A mixture of 0.8 mmol of 4,5-diaryloxy-3,6-
dichlorophthalonitrile (IIа, IIb) and 0.1 mmol of
magnesium acetate [Mg(OAc)2·4H2O] was heated to
230–240°С and kept at this temperature for 30 min.
The magnesium complexes IVа, IVb obtained were
extracted with chloroform from the cooled reaction
mixture. After distilling off chloroform the residue was
dissolved in 20 ml of acetic acid (for preparation of
Vа) or in a mixture of acetic acid with pyridine in 1:1
ratio by volume (for preparation of Vb), the solution
was heated at 75–80°С for 1 h, cooled to room
temperature, and poured to 100 ml of water. The
precipitate formed was filtered off, washed with water,
dried, and then purified by chromatography (sorbent
aluminum oxide of 1st grade of activity, eluent
benzene–ethanol, 20:1). After distilling the eluent off
the residue was dried at 90–100°С.
4,5–Diphenoxy-3,6–dichlorophthalonitrile (IIa).
Prepared along the general procedure from 8.5 mmol
of phenol. The product is light-beige powder insoluble
in water, soluble in acetone, chloroform and benzene.

Erbium and itterbium tetra(4,5-diaryloxy-3,6-
dichloro)phthalocyanine acetates and acetyl-
acetonates (VI–VIII). 1 mmol of compound (Va, Vb)
was dissolved in DMF, 1.5 mmol of metal salt (acetate
or acetylacetonate) was added, and the mixture was
refluxed for 1 h. DMF was then distilled off, the
complexes obtained were extracted from the residue
with benzene and purified by chromatography on a
column with aluminum oxide of the 1st grade of
activity, eluent benzene–ethanol 20:1. The eluent was
then distilled off and the residue was dried in a vacuum
at 50°С for 1 h.
4,5-Dinaphthyloxy-3,6–dichlorophthalonitrile (IIb).
Prepared similarly to compound IIа from 8.5 mmol of
1-naphthol. Light-beige powder insoluble in water,
soluble in acetone, chloroform and benzene. Yield
