La. Lapkina et al., Supramolecular dimerization of crown-substituted lutetium(III) monophthalocyaninate of the "Host-Guest" type, RUSS J IN C, 46(1), 2001, pp. 84-88
The reaction of tetra(15-crown-5)-substituted phthalocyaninate of lutetium
acetate (I) with sodium and potassium acetates in a CHCl3-DMSO solvent mixt
ure was studied by spectrophotometry and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The crown-et
her moiety of I was found to chelate K+ and Na+ ions. The reaction of I wit
h K+ results in the formation of coaxial dimers of the "host-guest" type, w
hereas the reaction with Na+ yields no dimers of this type.
