Abstract

2,3-Di-O-myristyl-6-O-(zinc(II) phthalocyaninyl) cellulose (5) was synthesized from cellulose (1) by five reaction steps via 6-O-(3′,4′-dicyanophenyl)-2,3-di-O-myristyl cellulose (4). The key reaction was phthalocyanine-ring formation on a cellulose backbone, that is, the reaction of compound 4 with o-phthalodinitrile in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane and zinc acetate in DMF afforded to compound 5 in 35.4 % yield. Consequently, the degree of substitution with phthalocyanine moieties of compound 5 was 0.38. The LB monolayer film of compound 5 on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode was found to show photocurrent generation performance at 680 nm.
