Molecular balance forms of indium phthalocyanines in benzene and pyridine solution

Abstract The electronic absorption spectra of In2Pc3, InPc2 and InPcI solid compounds after dissolvation in one of the most commonly used solvents, i.e.: benzene and pyridine have been measured. In benzene, the molecules of the diindium tripledecker phthalocyanine, In2Pc3, undergoes transformation to ionic couples [InPc]+[InPc2]-, whereas when the InPc2 compound is dissolvated, the molecules of the indium sandwiches, InPc2, remain relatively stable in the solvent. When the In2Pc3 compound is dissolvated in py, the inner Pc(2-) ring of diindium tripledecker phthalocyanine molecule undergoes disjunction and rejection. In the results of it in the solution the couple of chromophores, being in t…

Crystal structure of a novel bismuth phthalocyanine-bismuth iodide complex

Abstract A new phthalocyaninato complex of bismuth with formula [(BiPc) 4 (Bi 4 I 16 )] was obtained in the reaction of bismuth with 1,2-dicyanobenzene in iodine vapour. The crystal and molecular structure of the complex was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The unit cell consists of four discrete (BiPc) + cations and (Bi 4 I 16 ) 4− anions. The (Bi 4 I 16 ) 4− complex anion is formed by four edge-sharing BiI 6 octahedra. The arrangement of molecules in the crystalline structure of the complex is mainly determined by ionic attraction between the (BiPc) + and (Bi 4 I 16 ) 4− moieties, i.e. each (Bi 4 I 16 ) 4− complex anion is encapsulated between four (BiPc) + cations. The str…

Examples of UV–Vis profiles use as tool for evidence of the metallophthalocyanines transformation

Abstract The UV–Vis spectra for a set of MPcs (Mmetal, Pc = phthalocyanine ligand), i.e.: In(III)PcI (1), Hf(IV)PcI2Pht (Pht = phthalonitrile) (2), Sn(II)Pc (3), Sn(IV)PcI2 (4), and Ge(IV)PcI2 (5) have been examined in two solvents, O-donative acetylacetone, and non-coordinative benzene. The UV–Vis spectra in Hacac solution of 1,2 and 4,5 shows that the axially ligated iodine atoms are replaced by (acac)− anions of the solvent, whereas in 3 the oxygen donors of the solvent causing the auto-oxidation of Sn(II) to Sn(IV) ions and as a result the Sn(II)Pc is transformed into the Sn(IV)Pc(acac)2. The chloride complexes of the 1–5 compounds are formed at Hacac solution after acidification by hyd…
