Photoreduction of iron(II)- and manganese(II)-phthalocyanine in the presence of azaferrocene
Abstract
Irradiation with visible light of iron(II)- and manganese(II) phthalocyanine in the presence of azaferrocene leads to efficient reduction of the macrocycle to iron(I) phthalocyanine-azaferrocene complex and macrocycle-reduced manganese-(I) and -(II) species, respectively.
