A new series of low-symmetry octasubstituted metal-free phthalocyanines with the general formula H 2 N x P β4− x ( OBu )8 ( x = 0-4) were synthesized by mixed condensation of two different substituted precursors (4,5-dibutoxy- phthalonitrile and 1,4-dibutoxy-2,3-dicyanonaphthalene). Their electronic absorption spectra and MALDI-TOF-MS were investigated. The regiospecific, nonlinear and linear substituent effects of alkoxyl groups on the positions of the Q-bands of phthalocyanines with different substituent groups at different peripheral positions were systematically investigated. The results could provide a guide to the tuning of Q-band absorptions of phthalocyanine derivatives.

Three octahedral chromium(III) complexes of the general formula Na[Cr(S,S-eddp)L].2H2O, where eddp = the tetradentate O-N-N-O-type ligand ethylenediamine-N,N?-di-S,S-2-propionate and L = a bidentate O-O-type ligand, either oxalate or malonate, were prepared. The complexes were synthesized by the reaction of chromium(III) chloride, S,S-eddp and malonic acid or sodium oxalate, at 60?C. The complexes were isolated chromatographically and the geometric configuration of the complexes was proposed on the basis of their infrared and electronic absorption spectra.

The Soret maxima of copper triarylcorroles are exquisitely sensitive to substitutions on the meso phenyl groups. Similar substituent effects are also known, in more muted form, for Mn and Fe corroles. In contrast, the Soret maxima Ag , CrO and MoO triarylcorroles are essentially invariant with respect to phenyl-group substituents. TDDFT calculations suggest that the unique substituent sensitivity in the copper case results from phenyl-to- Cu (dx2-y2) charge transfer character in the main peaks of the Soret region. To probe the phenonmenon in even greater depth, we have examined here the electrochemistry and electronic absorption spectra of a series of copper trans-A2B-triarylcorrole complexes, where the para substituents on the aryl groups include CF3 , H , CH3 , and OCH3 . Although both 5,15- and 10-substituents appear to influence the oxidation and reduction potentials of the copper corroles in a simple, additive manner, they affect the Soret maxima very differently. Thus, for a given 10-substituent, 5,15-aryl substituents exert a strong, "normal" substituent effect on the Soret maximum. For given 5,15-substituents, however, the 10-substituent has almost no effect on the Soret maximum. An attempt has been made to relate these somewhat curious observations to a molecular orbital picture based on copper triphenylcorrole.

With the aim of studying single charging phenomena of individual molecules that have clear redox states, a series of ruthenium complexes surrounded by dendrimers were prepared. The structure and electronic characteristics of them were studied by 1 H NMR, MALDI TOF-MS, UV-vis absorption spectra and electrochemical methods. The electrochemical results revealed that the clear redox states were retained even with the surrounding dendrimers, and the molecules can be good candidates for nanometer size charging pools.
