Reactivity of Rare Earth Metal Porphyrins/Phthalocyanines in Acid Media

Synthesis, structure, spectral properties and behavior in acid media of acido phthalocyanine complexes (X) n-2 MPc, double-and triple-decker phthalocyanine and porphyrin complexes M(HPc)(Pc), M(Pc) 2 •, M 2 (Pc) 3 , and M(P) 2 , M 2 (P) 3 (M -lanthanide or actinide cation) were explored using UV-visible, IR, NMR spectroscopy and chemical kinetics.Kinetic equations, stoichiometric mechanisms of complexes demetallation and stability-structure relations were established.
