Synthesis and Properties of Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)-phthalocyaninatoruthenium(II)
Abstract
Tetrakis(trimethysilyl)phthalocyaninatoruthenium(II) (5) has been synthesized via the biaxially coordinated ((CH3)3Si)4PcRu(3-Clpy)2 (2) complex by thermal decomposition of the axial ligands of 2. ((CH3)3Si)4PcRu (5) was characterized by NMR, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The trisubstituted ((CH3)3Si)3PcRu(3-Clpy)2 (3) and disubstituted ((CH3)3Si)2PcRu(3-Clpy)2 (4) complexes, formed as side products during the thermolysis of 2, could be isolated and characterized.
