PREPARATION, CHARACTERIZATION, AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF ,23,24-OCTABUTOXYPHTHALOCYANINATO)DIYTTERBIUM(III) AND 23,24-OCTABUTOXYPHTHALOCYANINATO)DIDYSPROSIUM(III)
K. Takahashi et al., PREPARATION, CHARACTERIZATION, AND ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF ,23,24-OCTABUTOXYPHTHALOCYANINATO)DIYTTERBIUM(III) AND 23,24-OCTABUTOXYPHTHALOCYANINATO)DIDYSPROSIUM(III), Chemistry Letters, (11), 1993, pp. 1915-1918
The title complexes, [Yb2(obPc)3] (1) and [Dy2(obPc)3] (2) (H-2obPc =
2,3,9,10,16, 17,23,24-octabutoxyphthalocyanine), were prepared. Their
absorption spectra in CH2Cl2 and in benzene and cyclic voltammograms i
n CH2Cl2 were measured. The electrochromism of the CH2Cl2 solutions of
1 and 2 was observed in oxidation. These spectral and electrochemical
properties suggest a triple-decker sandwich-like molecular structure
of 1 and 2 ([(obPc2-)Ln3+(obPc2-)Ln3+(obPc2-)], Ln = Yb, Dy).
