The synthesis, characterization, and electronic properties of 4-((7-methoxyquinolin-4-yl)oxy), 4-(quinolin-2-ylthio), and 4-((7-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl)thio) peripherally substituted oxo-titanium phthalocyanines are described for the first time. The structures of the compounds were determined by UV-Vis, FTIR, 1H NMR, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Electronic spectra and molecular and electronic properties of compounds were calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) methods. Solvent effects on the electronic, geometric, and reactivity properties of the compounds were also investigated. Global and local reactivity indices and Molecular Electrostatic Potential surfaces of compounds were calculated. The reactivities and electronic structures of molecules vary depending on the solvent and substituents. It has been found that the synthesized compounds can be used for different purposes such as dye-sensitized solar cells and photodynamic therapy applications.
