  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Functional Phthalocyanine Molecular Materials

Part of the book series: Structure and Bonding ((STRUCTURE,volume 135))

Abstract

This chapter discusses the electronic absorption spectra and electrochemistry of phthalocyanine complexes which are redshifted to ∼ 730 nm and beyond. These are mainly manganese phthalocyanine derivatives and phthalocyanines containing sulfur substituents. The chapter concentrates mainly on the work done during the last 10 years. There are 96 references quoted and three detailed tables on the electronic absorption spectra, redox potentials, and analytes that are electrocatalyzed using manganese and titanium phthalocyanine complexes.
