A number of substituted manganese phthalocyanines PcMn have been synthesized from the corresponding phthalonitriles with rather good yields (up to 67%) and high purity. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, electronic absorption spectra, and some of them by redox potentials. Three coordination forms — PcMn(II), PcMn(III)X and [LPcMn(III)]2O were fixed for all complexes. The equilibrium of three electronic isomers — Pc+· Mn(I) × L, PcMn(II) × Ln and Pc-· Mn(III) × 2L — has been observed in solutions of all PcMn(II) in the presence of organic base L.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
