Abstract: Some phthalocyanines were titrated with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) in non-aqueous dipolar aprotic (protofilic (N,N - dimethylformamide  and  DMSO)) solvents,   using   potentiometric   method.   The    half  neutralization  potential  values  and  the  corresponding  pKa  values  were  determined for  all cases. The    half  neutralization  potential  values  were determined between -465.8±1.3 and -494.3±1.4. pKa  values  were  determined between 14.87±0.11 and 15.34±0.07 in N,N - dimethylformamide  and  DMSO media.


KEYWORDS: Phthalocyanines, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, potentiometric method.
