Synthesis and characterization of novel bridged phthalocyaninatoruthenium complexes

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of new bridged phthalocyaninatoruthenium complexes of the types PcRuL2 and [PcRu(L)]n using 1,2,4-triazines as bridging ligand are reported. The preferred coordination of N1 of the 1,2,4-triazines with the metal atom in PcRuL2 is discussed based on NMR spectroscopy. The oligomers 14–20 prepared exhibit good semiconducting properties without external doping.
