Synthesis of bridged soluble phthalocyaninatoruthenium complexes

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of hitherto unknown soluble octasubstituted ruthenium phthalocyanines R₈PcRu (R=C₅H₁₁O) by vacuum thermolysis of their bisaxial adducts with 3-chloropyridine is described. R₈PcRu (R=C₅H₁₁O, 2-Et-hexO) was reacted with 1,4-diisocyano-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene (me₄dib) and 1,4-diisocyanobenzene (dib) to afford the oligomers [R₈PcRu(me₄dib)]_n (R=C₅H₁₁O, 2-Et-hexO) and [R₈PcRu(dib)]_n (R=C₅H₁₁O), which were characterized by spectroscopic methods.
