Cyclic tetramerization of 3-(dibutylamino)phthalonitrile in refluxing n-pentanol in the presence of magnesium pentanoate afforded the four regioisomer-containing nonperipheral 1,8-/11,15-/18,22-/25-tetrakis(dibutylamino)phthalocyaninato magnesium complexes with the 1,8,15,22-tetrakis(dibutylamino)phthalocyanine isomer Mg{Pc[alpha-N(C4H9)(2)](4)-C-4} (2). This, in combination with its much superior crystallinity over the remaining three isomers, renders the easy isolation of 2 only through two simple recrystallizations from THE and methanol. Treatment of 2 with trifluoroacetic acid induced the isolation of metal-free 1,8,15,22-tetrakis(dibutylamino)phthalocyanine, H-2{Pc[alpha-N(C4H9)(2)](4)-C-4} (1), which further reacted with M(OAc)(2)center dot nH(2)O (M = Ni, Zn) in refluxing n-pentanol, giving the 1,8,15,22-tetrakis(dibutylamino)phthalocyaninato metal complexes M{Pc[alpha-N(C4H9)(2)](4)-C-4} (M = Ni (3), Zn (4)). The full series of four 1,8,15,22-tetrakis(dibutylamino)phthalocyanine isomeric compounds have been characterized by a series of spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Obviously, the present result provides a simple and effective pathway for the synthesis and isolation of novel 1,8,15,22-tetrakis(dibutylamino)phthalocyanine isomeric derivatives, providing one step forward toward completing bis(alkyl)amino-incorporated phthalocyanine species.
