Tetrasubstituted zinc, cobalt, nickel, copper and lead phthalocyanines bearing four 12-membered diazadithia macrocyclic moieties on peripheral positions have been synthesised by cyclotetramerisation reaction of 1,10-ditosyl-1,2,3,5,6,8,9,10-octahydrobenzo[h][1,4,7,10] dithiadiazacyclododecine-12,13-dicarbonitrile and corresponding anhydrous metal salts under microwave irradiation. The thermal stabilities of the phthalocyanine compounds have determined by thermogravimetric analysis.
