The title compound, trans-bis(hexafluoroantimonato-F)-(phthalocyaninato-kap
pa N-4(29,30,31,32))copper(II), [Cu(SbF6)(2)(C-32-H16N8)] or Cu(pc)(SbF6)(2
) (pc is phthalocyaninate), comprises a six-coordinate Cu atom, lying on an
inversion center, bonded to four N atoms of a phthalocyanine ring and to F
atoms of two trans SbF6- groups. The compound is presumed to consist of a
Cu-II center and a doubly oxidized phthalocyanine ring, by analogy with Cu(
pc)(ReO4)(2).
