The first tellurium-containing phthalocyanine analogues have been prepared and spectroscopically characterised: the Mg(II) complex of tetra(1,2,5-telluradiazolo)porphyrazine and a low-symmetry tert-butyl substituted Mg(II) tribenzoporphyrazine with one fused 1,2,5-telluradiazole ring. It was observed that the introduction of Te atom(s) reduces the energy of the Q-transition, facilitates the reduction of the macrocycle and strongly increases the conductivity of thin films.
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.
