State and Stability of Erbium(III) and Dysprosium(III) Complexes of Octaphenyltetraazaporphine in Proton-Donor Media

The acid-base interaction of chloro(octaphenyltetraazaporphinato)erbium(III), (acetylacetonato)(octaphenyltetraazaporphinato)erbium(III), and (acetylacetonato)(octaphenyltetraazaporphinato)dysprosium(III) in AcOH and in AcOH-benzene and AcOH-H₂SO₄ systems involves one meso-nitrogen atom of the complexes; the stability constants of the resulting acid forms were estimated. The solvoprotolytic dissociation of the complexes in the AcOH-H₂SO₄ system was studied, its kinetic parameters were determined, and some suggestions as to the dissociation mechanism were made.
