Abstract
Sandwich-type bis(phthalocyaninato)lanthanide complexes, [Ln(Pc)(2)](z), ex hibit intriguing characteristics which stem from the interactions between t he two pi-conjugated phthalocyanine rings held by the central metal ion in close proximity, and they have been explored as materials for electrochromi c displays, molecular semiconductors, gas-sensors and for nonlinear optical applications. This article reviews some topics on their structural, electr ochemical, chemical, and spectral characteristics.
