Abstract
Metal phthalocyanines were obtained at room temperature with the use of supported Cun/Al2O3 nanoparticles and active unstable complex Mg(anthracene)A•3THF in a series of protic and aprotic nonaqueous solvents (yields 5-11%). The properties of copper-alumina aggregates were studied by morphological, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray diffraction studies. The phthalocyanines as shown exist in the form of nanorods and nanowires having 80-120 nm diameters, as shown by scanning electron microscopy studies.
