Abstract

By reduction of dichloro(phthalocyaninato)antimony(V) complex, [Sb(pc)Cl2]+ (pc2-=phthalocyaninate, C 32H16N82-), its pc3- species has been prepared as bulk material using elemental silver as the electron donor. One electron reduction of [Sb(pc)Cl2]+ proceeded without any side reaction. The obtained pc3- species has been characterized by its ESR, electronic absorption, infra-red, and mass spectra. The electronic absorption spectrum of the [Sb(pc3-·) Cl2] species was identical with that of the known spectroelectrochemically studied [Sb(pc3-·)Cl2]. The first infra-red spectrum of the pc3- species of metallophthalocyanine is reported and indicates that the structural change upon the reduction is insignificant.
