M. Hanack et al., SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF (TETRA-TERT-BUTYLPHTHALOCYANINATO)RUTHENIUM(II) AND RA-TERT-BUTYL-2,3-NAPHTHALOCYANINATO)RUTHENIUM(II), Chemische Berichte, 128(9), 1995, pp. 929-933
The first synthesis of pure tert-butyl-substituted (phthalocyaninato)-
and (2,3-naphthalocyaninato)ruthenium [(tBu)(4)-MacRu] by thermal dec
omposition of (tBu)(4)MacRu(L)(2) (L = 3-chloropyridine, ammonia) is d
escribed. The compounds were characterized by UV/Vis, IR, and NMR meas
urements.
