Unprecedented 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octakis(di-butylamino)phthalocyanine
compounds M{Pc[N(C<sub>4</sub>H<sub>9</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>8</sub>} (M = 2H, Mg, Cu, Zn) (<b>1</b>–<b>4</b>) were
prepared and structurally characterized on the basis of single-crystal
X-ray diffraction analysis, representing the first structurally characterized
alkylamino-substituted phthalocyanine examples. These novel phthalocyanine
derivatives have also been characterized by a wide range of spectroscopic
methods including MALDI-TOF mass spectra, NMR, electronic absorption,
and IR spectroscopy in addition to elemental analysis. Their electrochemistry
was also studied by cyclic voltammetry.
