of the protonated double-decker SmIIIH(Pc)[Pc(α-OC4H9)8] with NaOH. The supramolecular structure contains two
double-decker units linked by two sodium ions by an extremely rare coordination mode of phthalocyanines in which
an aza nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms from neighboring alkoxy substituents form a tridentate ligand.
