The lithium alkoxide-catalysed cyclic tetramerisation of various 3,6-dialkoxy-4,5-dichlorophthalonitriles, 1,4-dialkoxynaphthalene-2,3-dicarbonitriles and 3,6-dialkoxyphthalonitriles to give the corresponding metal-free octa-alkoxyoctachlorophthalocyanines, octa-alkoxynaphthalocyanines and octa-alkoxyphthalocyanines is described.An unexpected trans-alkoxylation reaction occurs during the cyclisation of the first two series of precursors.Metal-free phthalocyanines and naphthalocyanines have been converted into derivatives containing various metal ions.Compounds show Q-band absorption in the region 739-862 nm in toluene solution.The fluorescence spectra of selected examples are reported.The solubility of some of the compounds has been measured in a formulation of liquid crystal materials.
