The first push-pull μ-nitrido iron phthalocyanine dimer
Abstract
The first push-pull μ-nitrido diiron phthalocyanine complex was prepared and characterized. The EPR spectrum confirms the Fe+3.5–N–Fe+3.5 formalism. The stability of this dimer in oxidant media (up to 1000 equivalent of H2O2) was studied by UV-vis spectroscopy. The push-pull μ-nitrido diiron phthalocyanine exhibited excellent stability because of the delocalization of an unpaired electron.
