- Description
- The synthesis and electrochemical characterisation of the following oxotitanium tetra-substituted phthalocyanines are reported: 1,(4)-(tetrabenzyloxyphthalocyaninato)titanium(IV) oxide (5a); 1,(4)- {tetrakis[4-(benzyloxy)phenoxy]phthalocyaninato}titanium(IV) oxide (5b); 2,(3)- (tetrabenzyloxyphthalocyaninato)titanium(IV) oxide (6a) and 2,(3)-{tetrakis[4- (benzyloxy)phenoxy]phthalocyaninato}titanium(IV) oxide (6b). The electrochemical characterisation of complexes octa-substituted with 4-(benzyloxy)phenoxy (9b), phenoxy (9c) and tert -butylphenoxy (9d) groups is also reported. The cyclic voltammograms of the complexes exhibit reversible couples I–III and couple IV is quasi-reversible for complexes 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b. The first two reductions are metal-based processes, confirmed by spectroelectrochemistry to be due to Ti IV Pc 2 − /Ti III Pc 2 − and Ti III Pc 2 − /Ti II Pc 2 − redox processes and the last two reductions are ring-based processes due to Ti II Pc 2 − /Ti II Pc 3 − and Ti II Pc 3 − /Ti II Pc 4 − . Chronocoulometry confirmed a one-electron transfer at each reduction step. The electrochemistry of the above complexes is also compared to the previously reported 5c, 5d, 6c and 6d.
