- Description: Cyclic voltammetry of osmium phthalocyanine complexes, [(CN)2OsIIPc]2− and (py)2OSIIPc (PC = phthalocyanine dianion), show two oxidation couples and two reduction couples in acetonitrile and dimethy1formamide. Oxidation and reduction in these complexes occur at the ring to form cation and anion radical species, respectively. The [(CN)2OsIIPC]2− complexes show a remarkable ease of ring oxidation with oxidation potentials that are much lower than is typical for metallophthalocyanines. Half-wave potentials of 0.25 and 0.67 V (versus saturated calomel electrode, SCE) were obtained for the first and second ring oxidations, respectively. The [(CN)2OSIIPc]2− complex is soluble in water at pHs greater than 4. This complex shows one oxidation couple in pH 9 buffer at −0.11 V versus SCE.

- Description: Chemically modified electrodes, constructed by incorporating oxomolybdenum(V) phthalocyanine (OMo(V)(OH)Pc, Pc = phthalocyanine dianion) into graphite powder were used to catalyse the oxidation of cysteine. Solution catalysis of cysteine by oxomolybdenum(V) tetrasulfophthalocyanine, [OMo(V)(OH)TSPc]4−, was also investigated. A considerable reduction in overpotential for cysteine oxidation was observed. Cysteine oxidation occurred at 0.26 and 0.28 V vs. Ag/vbAgCl for catalysis by Omo(V)(OH)Pc and [OMo(V)(OH)TSPc]4− respectively as opposed to 0.77 V vs. Ag/vbAgCl observed on CoPc chemically modified electrodes. The anodic peak currents vary linearly with cysteine concentration in the range 0.02 to 0.08 mol dm−3 and 0.008 to 0.02 mol dm−3 for [OMo(V)(OH)TSPc]4− and OMo(V)Pc respectively.

- Description: Photolysis, using radiation from a tungsten lamp, of tin diphthalocyanine (Pc2Sn(IV)) in dichloromethane containing SO2 results in the one-electron oxidation of this species to [Pc(−2)Sn(IV)Pc(−1)]+. The relative quantum yields for the formation of the oxidized species were in the order of 10−3. The one-electron oxidized complex was also formed when Pc2Sn was photolysed in an acetonitrile/dichloromethane solvent mixture. Photolysis of the monomeric (L)2Sn(IV)Pc(LOH−, Cl−, Br− and F−) in pyridine and in the presence of SO2 resulted in the reduction of these species to (L)2Sn(IV)Pc(−3)]− with quantum yields in the order of 10−2.

- Description: Cyclic voltammetry of tin(IV) diphthalocyanine (Pc2Sn) in dichloromethane containing TEAP shows two reduction couples at −0.56 and −0.89 versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE) and one oxidation couple at 0.35 V versus SCE; all were quasireversible one-electron couples. The oxidation couple corresponds to [Pc(−1)SnIVPc(−2)+/Pc(−2)SnIVPc(−2) and the reduction couples to Pc(−2)SnIVPc(−2)/[Pc(−3)SnIVPc(−2)]− and [Pc(−3)SnIVPc(−2)]−/[Pc(−3)SnIVPc(−3)]2−, respectively. The electronic absorption spectra of the various reduced or oxidized tin(IV) diphthalocyanine species are reported.
