The effect of protonation on the spectra and stabilities of alkoxyl substituted phthalocyaninatometals
摘要:
The protonation abilities of phthalocyaninatometals (MPcs) increase but their stabilities reduce by the introduction of alkoxyl substituents at alpha position. In the toluene, the order of mono-protonation rate for the tetra-alpha-(2, 2, 4-trimethyl-3-pentoxy)phthalocyaninatometals sorts with the center metals is Zn > Co > Cu > Ni > Fe, which is opposite to the order of their wavelength difference between the Q bands and X bands. However, their mono-protonated species can be decomposed easily at the rate order FePc > CoPc > CuPc > NiPc > ZnPc, analogous to their decomposition abilities in the benzoylperoxide (BPO) oxidation. In addition, it is interesting that a more remarkable decomposition is found when partial CuPc was mono-protonated. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
