- Description
- This work reports on the synthesis of tin and germanium phthalocyanine complexes containing phenoxy and substituted phenoxy groups as phthalocyanine ring substituents. The compounds studied are: dichlorogermanium phthalocyanine complexes containing eight phenoxy (4a), o-methyl phenoxy (4b) or estrone (4c) groups on the ring. The corresponding dichlorotin complexes (5a, 5b and 5c) and diiodotin complex (6a) were also investigated, as well as diestrone phthalocyaninato tin (7). Germanium octaphenoxy phthalocyanine complexes undergo phototransformation rather than direct photobleaching, whereas tin octaphenoxy phthalocyanine complexes undergo a photobleaching process, which is mediated by photoreduction of the phthalocyanine ring. Tin octaphenoxy phthalocyanine complexes gave higher ΦΔ values than the corresponding germanium complexes. Also tin phthalocyanine complexes containing an unsubstituted ring gave higher ΦΔ values than the corresponding octaphenoxy substituted complexes. The triplet quantum yields increased with the increase in electron-donating power of the ring substituents.
