Process for the preparation of platinum or palladium benzoporphyrins and platinum or palladium cyclohexenoporphyrins, intermediates, and an oxygen sensor comprising platinum or palladium cyclohexenoporphyrin

Abstract

Compounds of formula (I) wherein Me is Pd(II) or Pt(II); R is H or C1-C18 alkyl, or is C3-C8 cycloalkyl, phenyl, pyridyl or phenyl-C1-C4 alkylene, each of which is unsubstituted or substituted by C1-C18 alkyl, C1-C18 alkoxy, R3—O—C(O)—, halogen, —CN or by —NO2; R1 and R2 are each independently of the other H, C1-C12 alkyl or C1-C12 alkoxy or R1 and R2 together are —OCH2O—, —OCH2CH2O—, or —CH═CH—CH═CH—, and R3 is C1-C18 alkyl, C3-C18 cycloalkyl, phenyl, benzyl, C1-C12 alkylphenyl or C1-C12 alkylbenzyl. Compounds of formula (I) are valuable luminophores and/or intermediates for the preparation of palladium (II) or platinum (II) benzoporphyrins, which are likewise luminophores.
