Abstract: | Monomeric and Dimeric Chromium(III) Phthalocyanines: Synthesis and Properties of Hydroxopyridinophthalocyaninatochromium(III) and μ-Oxodi(pyridinophthalocyaninatochromium(III)) Heating of ?Cr(OH)Pc2?]”? in pyridine (Py) gives the paramagnetic (T = 273 K) complexes Cr(OH)(Py)Pc2?] (μCr = 3.84 μB) and (Cr(Py)Pc2?)2O] (μCr = 1.24 μB) by consecutive substitution and condensation reactions. The UV-VIS spectra are characterized by the typical B, Q, and N regions of the Pc2? ligand being shifted hypsochromically for the dimer with respect to the monomer due to excitonic coupling (1.5 kK). Regions of weak absorbance between 8 and 13 resp. 19 kK are assigned to trip-quartet transitions for both complexes. A weak band at 870 cm?1 in the FIR/MIR spectra is assigned to vas(Cr? O? Cr). In the resonance Raman(RR) spectra v(Cr? O) at 514 cm?1 resp. vs(Cr? O? Cr) at 426 cm?1 is selectively enhanced. Further strong RR-lines of the μ-Oxo dimer at 110 and 631 cm?1 are assigned to a (Py? Cr? O)- resp. internal pyridine deformation of a1g symmetry. An assignment as 2vas(Cr? O? Cr) is proposed for the remarkable RR line at 1740 cm?1. |
