Alfa Chemistry Catalysts: Porphyrin Ligands, Phthalocyanine Ligands Are Newly Released for the Science Community
With the development of coordination chemistry, the application of nitrogen-donor ligands has become more widespread. To meet the increasing demand arising from market and industry, Alfa Chemistry Catalysts announces the release of porphyrin ligands and phthalocyanine ligands , one type of nitrogen-donor ligands, for wide applications in fields like materials science, organic synthesis and biomedicine. The porphyrin ligand is a planar, dianionic macrocycle with four nitrogen donors in a square planar arrangement, with a hole size of radius close to 2.0 Å. Phthalocyanine (Pc) molecules are macrocyclic compounds composed of an inner porphyrazine ring that connects four isoindole groups giving rise to the characteristic cross-like shape. “Porphyrin ligands and phthalocyanine ligands are solids with higher melting points and darker colors. They are advantageous due to their relative stableness when exposed to light and heat. Another prominent chemical property is that they are able to ...
