Metal-free and metallo-porphyrazines (M = Mg, 2H, Co, Cu, Zn, or ClFe) with eight (3-thiopropyl anthraquinone-2-carboxylate) units appending on the periphery through flexible alkylthio-bridges have been synthesized through esterification of octakis(hydroxypropylthio) porphyrazinato magnesium with anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCI) and toluene-p-sulfonic acid. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis, (1) H and C-13 NMR, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.
