Ruthenium(II)-Phthalocyanine: Darstellung und Eigenschaften von Di(halogeno)phthalocyaninatoruthenat(II)

Ruthenium(II) Phthalocyanines: Preparation and Properties of Di(halo)phthalocyaninatoruthenate(II) Ru(Py)₂Pc^2?] reacts with molten (ⁿBu₄N)X forming stable, green (ⁿBu₄N)₂Ru(X)₂Pc^2?] (X = Cl, Br). The cyclovoltammogram shows a quasireversible redoxprocess for the metal oxidation at E_1/2(I) = ?0.02 V (X = Cl) resp. 0.05 V (X = Br) and for the first ringoxidation at E_1/2(II) = 0.70 V. The typical π-π*-transitions (B < Q < N) of the phthalocyanine dianion (Pc^2?) are observed in the uv-vis spectrum. With respect to Ru^III phthalocyanines B is shifted significantly to higher, Q, N to lower energy. The strong extra-band at 24.2 kK is diagnostic for these Ru^II phthalocyanines. The vibrational spectra are typical for the Pc^2? ligand with D_4h symmetry, too, and bands at 513, 909, 1 171 und 1 329 cm^?1 in the m.i.r. spectrum are specific for hexa-coordinated low spin Ru^II. In the Raman spectrum with excitation at ～480 nm the intensity of the totally symmetrical Ru? X stretching vibration at 266 cm^?1 (X = Cl) resp. 168 cm^?1 (X = Br) together with a progression of up to three overtones is selectively resonance Raman enhanced. The asymmetrical Ru? X stretching vibration is observed in the f.i.r. spectrum at 272 cm^?1 (X = Cl) resp. 215 cm^?1 (X = Br).
