Phthalocyanine that has four peripheral 2-methoxyphenyl substituents at the α-position and its Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes were synthesized. Chem. oxidation by the Cu(II) ion and electrochem. oxidation of these metal complexes were studied spectrophotometrically in acetonitrile. The UV-visible absorption spectra of these metal complexes and their one-electron oxidized π-cation radicals showed no concentration dependence, indicating that these species exist as monomers in solution Kinetics of the thermal electron transfer reaction from each phthalocyanine complex to Cu2+ and the photoinduced electron transfer reaction of the Zn(II) phthalocyanine complex with V(V) and V(IV) Schiff base complexes were studied using conventional spectrophotometric and transient absorption techniques, and the electron transfer rate constants were analyzed using the Marcus cross relation. The obtained rate constants of the electron self-exchange reaction between the parent phthalocyanine complexes and their π-cation radicals were in the order of 109 to 1011 M-1s-1 at T = 298.2 K. These large electron self-exchange rate constants are consistent with the phthalocyanine-centered redox reactions where small reorganization energies are required with little structural change during the electron transfer process. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate (cas: 34946-82-2Reference of 34946-82-2).
Copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate (cas: 34946-82-2) belongs to copper catalysts. The applications of Copper-based nanoparticles have received great attention due to the earth-abundant, inexpensive and low toxicity. Copper of different valence states can be used to catalyze the coupling reaction, especially the Ullmann coupling reaction. Reference of 34946-82-2
