Abstract
Illumination with red fight (lambda > 600 nm) of magnesinm and alumini um phthalocyanines, Mg(Pc-2) and Al(Pc-2)Cl, respectively, in dimethyl formamide, and tetrasulfonatophthalocyanines ZnPcS(4) and AlPcS(4) in water containing azaferrocene leads to effcient reduction of these mac rocyclic complexes; with methylviologen (MV(2+)) formation of MV(+) is observed. This process is catalytic with respect to the phthalocyanin e, whereas azaferrocene acts as a sacrificial electron donor.
