Conjugated polymeric phthalocyanines by polycyclotetramerization and electropolymerization

Metallophthalocyanine-based molecular materials as catalysts for electrochemical reactions

“…Tetrasulfonated substituted complexes [238][239][240][241][242][243][244][245] have been introduced into polypyrrole films as counter-ions (or "doping" ions). Only few examples have described the electropolymerization of pyrrolesubstituted MPcs [246][247][248]. Most studies of polymeric MPcs have involved the electrochemical polymerization of tetraaminophthalocyanines (4␤(NH 2 )MPc) [77,119,137,230,[249][250][251][252][253][254][255] which involves the oxidation of the amino group to form radicals that initiate condensation by attacking phenyl rings of neighboring molecules.…”

Tuning the redox properties of metalloporphyrin- and metallophthalocyanine-based molecular electrodes for the highest electrocatalytic activity in the oxidation of thiols

“…While several electropolymerisable pyrrole substituted metalloporphyrins have been reported in the literature, only two examples have described the electropolymerisation of pyrrole-substituted metallophthalocyanine complexes. 131,132 In the first one, the electropolymerisable pyrrole group was separated from the phthalocyanine macrocycle by an alkylene spacer. The authors reported on the formation of thick films by oxidative electropolymerisation under potentiodynamic conditions or constant potential, but no electrochemical and electrocatalytic activities were thoroughly investigated.…”
