THE SYNTHESIS AND ELECTROCHEMISTRY OF MAGNESIUM PORPHYRAZINES.
Abstract
In 1928 a blue pigment was accidentally formed in a reaction vessel used to make phthalimide. This substance was soon identified as the macrocyclic compound ferrous phthalocyanine. Over the last fifty years numerous metallo-phthalocyanines have been studied extensively.2 One significance of the phthalocyanine discovery is that it gave rise to a new family of macrocycles, the tetraazaporphins.First known as tetraimidoporphyrins, these tetraazaporphins drew the attention of the chemists at the Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd. and in particular R. P. Linstead. For nearly thirty years Linstead's name was found throughout the pages of the Journal of the Chemical Society in papers pertaining to these macrocyclic systems. Most of his work has been summarized. 3 Unfortunately, there has been virtu- ally no new literature on either the synthesis or characterization of these compounds for nearly twenty years.
