Claims
- 1. A phthalocyanine compound of the following formula: ##STR57## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 are independently selected from the group consisting of an alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, and arylthio group,
- letter s is equal to 0 or an integer of 1 to 3, and the R.sup.1 groups may be identical or different when s is at least 2,
- letters t, u and v each are equal to 0 or an integer of 1 to 4, and the R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 groups may be identical or different when t, u and v are at least 2, respectively,
- with the proviso that all of s, t, u, and v are not equal to 0 at the same time, the sum of s+t+u+v being an integer of at least 1,
- R.sup.5 is a hydrogen atom or alkyl group, and
- M is a metal atom.
- 2. The phthalocyanine compound of claim 1 wherein the vinyl-containing amide group (--NHCOCR.sup.5 .dbd.CH.sub.2) is at the 5-position of the isoindole ring, s=0, t=u=v=1, and R.sup.2. R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 are at the 5-position of the respective isoindole rings.
- 3. The phthalocyanine compound of claim 1 wherein the vinyl-containing amide group (--NHCOCR.sup.5 .dbd.CH.sub.2) is at the 5-position of the isoindole ring, s=0, t=u=v=1, and R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 are at the 4-position of the respective isoindole rings.
- 4. The phthalocyanine compound of claim 1 wherein the vinyl-containing amide group (--NHCOCR.sup.5 .dbd.CH.sub.2) is at the 5-position of the isoindole ring, s=0, t=u=v=2, and R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 are at the 5- and 6-positions of the respective isoindole rings.
- 5. A method for preparing the phthalocyanine compound of claim 2 comprising preparing a phthalocyanine compound of the following formula (1): ##STR58## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 are independently selected from the group consisting of an alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, and arylthio group; s is equal to 0 or an integer of 1 to 3, and the R1 groups may be identical or different when s is at least 2; t, u and v each are equal to 0 or an integer of 1 to 4, and the R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 groups may be identical or different when t, u and v are at least 2, respectively; with the proviso that all of s, t, u, and v are not equal to 0 at the same time, the sum of s+t+u+v being an integer of at least 1; and R.sup.5 is a hydrogen atom or alkyl group, by a method comprising the steps of:
- forming a nitro-substituted phthalocyanine compound of the following formula (3) by reacting phthalonitriles including an alkyl-, alkoxy-, alkylthio- or arylthio-substituted phthalonitrile and a nitrophthalonitrile or by effecting substitution reaction of a halogenated nitro-substituted phthalocyanine compound,
- reducing the nitro group of said nitro-substituted phthalocyanine compound to form an amino-substituted phthalocyanine compound of the following formula (4), and
- introducing an acryloyl group into the amino group of said amino-substituted phthalocyanine compound of formula (4) to form the phthalocyanine compound of formula (1) ##STR59## wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.5, t, u, and v are as defined above, and introducing a metal into the phthalocyanine compound of formula (1).
- 6. The nitro-substituted metal phthalocyanine compound obtained in claim 5.
- 7. The amino-substituted metal phthalocyanine compound obtained in claim 5.
