[Display omitted] •Synthesis of dimethyl 5-(3,4-dicyanophenoxy)-isophthalate.•Synthesis of new metallophthalocyanines from starting material.•The characterization of synthesized compounds with spectroscopic data.•The investigation antioxidant and antibacterial activities of compounds. The synthesis, characterization, spectral, antioxidant and antibacterial properties of dimethyl 5-(phenoxy)-isophthalate substituted Zinc, Cobalt, Copper, and Nickel phthalocyanines are reported. The novel compounds have been characterized by using electronic absorption, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. The antioxidant and antibacterial activities of newly synthesized phthalocyanines and its starting material are tested. The DPPH free radical scavenging ability of phthalocyanine Co(II) and Zn(II) complexes on DPPH are 44.8% and 40.1% at 100mg/L concentration, respectively. The phthalocyanine Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes show very strong ferrous ion chelating activity of 91.2% and 89.3% at concentration of 100mg/L, respectively. Compound 3 displays strong reducing power like α-tocopherol. Antibacterial activities of phthalocyanine Co(II) and Amikacin (30μg/disk) against Micrococcus luteus (ATCC 9341) are 16mm in diameter.
