The synthesis of 9-Octadecenamide substituted Fe(II) phthalocyanine (ODAFePc) and Ni(II) phthalocyanine (ODANiPc) complexes from Fe(II) tetracarboxylic acid phthalocyanine (FeTcPc) and Ni(II) tetracarboxylic acid phthalocyanine (NiTcPc) with 9-Octadecenamide. These complexes have high molecular weight and soluble in organic solvents. The complexes have been confirmed by FTIR, Mass spectroscopy, UV–Visible X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The synthesized complexes exhibit excellent stability and are catalytically active in 2-amino-4-chlorophenol (ACP) oxidation. The new method was used for the determination of the oxidation of phenol by applying different experimental parameters like concentration, catalytic quantity, temperature, and pH to get a good yield and catalytic activity of ODAFePc and ODANiPc were studied. ACP was oxidized by dissolved oxygen with ODAFePc and ODANiPc as a catalyst and immediately combined with 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) to form a pink dye and was determined by appearance of absorption intensity at 580 ​nm. All the experimental results show that ODAFePc and ODANiPc complexes exhibit good catalytic behavior on oxidation of 2-amino-4-chlorophenol. [Display omitted] •The ODAFePc and ODANiPc complexes were synthesized and Confirmed by several spectral methods and good yield.•The synthesized complexes exhibit excellent stability and catalytic activity of ACP oxidation.•The easy method, determine the oxidation of ACP by applying different parameters and thermally stable.
