- Description: A lipophilic and electron-rich phthalocyanine (α,α′-n-OC5H11)8-H2Pc and its nickel(II) complex (α,α′-n-OC5H11)8-Ni(II)Pc have been synthesized and characterized. Detailed analyses of the electronic structure were carried out by spectroscopy, electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, and TD-DFT calculations. A series of experiments demonstrate that the (α,α′-n-OC5H11)8-Ni(II)Pc complex can be used as a catalyst for highly efficient carbonyl reductions. , Original publication is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C5DT03256C

- Description: A rare earth sandwich-type phthalocyanine: bis-{2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa(4-tert-butylphenoxy) phthalocyaninato} lutetium(III) has been synthesized. The photophysical and nonlinear optical behavior of both the “green” and “blue” forms ([LuIIIPc2] and [LuIIIPc2]−, respectively) of the complex have been investigated. High triplet state and singlet oxygen quantum yield values were obtained for the neutral blue form which contains no unpaired electrons. Relatively high third order susceptibility and hyperpolarizability values of the order of 10−10 and 10−28 esu were obtained for both the green and blue forms, respectively. A very low threshold intensity of 0.00051 J cm−2 was obtained for the blue form. Hence the complex shows promise for non-linear optical applications. , Original publication is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C4TC00505H

- Description: The synthesis and characterization of an NIR absorbing acenaphthalene fused-ring-expanded aza-BODIPY dye are reported. In contrast with its naphtho-fused analogue, a stable complex is obtained when the corresponding phthalonitrile is used as the precursor. A comparison is made with the photophysical properties of 3,5-diphenyl-aza-dibenzoBODIPY. , Original publication is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C5RA14916A , Arbortext Advanced Print Publisher 9.1.510/W Unicode , Acrobat Distiller 8.1.0 (Windows); modified using iText� 5.3.3 �2000-2012 1T3XT BVBA (AGPL-version)
