Synthesis and characterization of some five-coordinated tetraazaporphyrin and phthalocyanine manganese(III) complexes

Abstract

Soluble pentacoordinated manganese(III) complexes with substituted tetraazaporphyrins (TAPs) containing m-trifluoromethylphenyl, p-tert-butylphenyl groups and phthalocyanines (Pcs) containing m-trifluoromethylphenyl, m-trifluoromethylphenoxy and 3,5-di-tert-butylphenoxy groups have been synthesized either by direct metallation of macrocycles (TAPMn, 1a, and PcMns, 3a and 4a) or by template cyclotetramerization of the corresponding fumaronitrile (TAPMn, 2a) and phthalonitrile (PcMn, 5a) and characterized in details. © ISUCT Publishing.
