- Description
- Four new manganese(III) phthalocyanines (3a–d), octasubstituted at the peripheral position with pentylthio, decylthio, benzylthio, and phenylthio groups, respectively, were synthesized. Their specific electrochemical, spectroscopic and microscopic properties in solution and as self-assembled monolayers on gold were characterized. The UV-vis spectra confirmed red-shifted Q bands for all the complexes, due to the effect of the central metal and the electron-donating substituents. Three redox couples were visible during cyclic voltammetry studies for the four complexes, and spectroelectrochemistry confirmed the couples as corresponding to MnIIIPc-2/MnIIPc-2 (II) (metal reduction), MnIIPc-2/MnIIPc-3 (III) (ring reduction) and MnIIIPc-1/MnIIIPc-2 (I) (ring oxidation). Electrochemistry was also used to determine the blocking characteristics of the MnPc self-assembled monolayers on gold, which proved to be highly dependent on the type of substituent. Other methods of characterization included Raman spectroscopy, atomic force and scanning electrochemical microscopy analyses of the SAMs.
