- Description
- The synthesis and electrochemical characterisation of octa-pentylthio (4a) and octa-octylthio (4b) – phthalocyaninato tantalum (III) hydroxide are hereby reported. These TaPc complexes absorb in the near infrared region (∼800 nm in dichloromethane). They show good solubility in most common solvents especially non-viscous solvents such as dichloromethane and chloroform. NMR, mass and infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis confirmed the structures and purity of the synthesised complexes. The cyclic voltammograms (CVs) showed reversible reduction couples and irreversible oxidation peaks. The latter exhibited adsorption behavior. The reduction processes were observed at −0.74 and −1.13 V (versus Ag|AgCl) for 4a, and −0.67, −1.02 and −1.48 V (versus Ag|AgCl) for 4b. Spectroelectrochemistry confirmed one metal reduction, with the rest of the redox processes being centered on the phthalocyanine ring.
