Reactivity of rare earth metal porphyrins/phthalocyanines in acid media

Abstract

Synthesis, structure, spectral properties and behavior in acid media of acido phthalocyanine complexes (X)n-2MPc, double-and triple-decker phthalocyanine and porphyrin complexes M(HPc)(Pc), M(Pc)2•, M2(Pc)3, and M(P)2, M2(P)3 (M - lanthanide or actinide cation) were explored using UV-visible, IR, NMR spectroscopy and chemical kinetics. Kinetic equations, stoichiometric mechanisms of complexes demetallation and stability-structure relations were established.
