title: Infrared spectroscopic characteristics of octa-substituted bis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth complexes peripherally substituted with (4-methoxy)phenoxy derivatives.
abstract: The infrared (IR) spectroscopic data for a series of 15 rare earth double-deckers M[Pc(MeOPhO)(8)](2) [M=Y, La, ..., Lu, except Pm; H(2)Pc=2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24-octakis(4-methoxyphenoxy)phthalocyanine] with tervalent rare earths M(III)[Pc(MeOPhO)(8)](2) (M=Y, La, ..., Lu except Ce and Pm) and intermediate-valent cerium Ce[Pc(MeOPhO)(8)](2) have been collected with resolution of 2cm(-1). For M(III)[Pc(MeOPhO)(8)](2), typical IR marker band of the monoradical anion Pc(MeOPhO)(8)(-) shows characteristic absorption band whose frequency linearly varies in the range from 1,313 cm(-1) as a weak band for La[Pc(MeOPhO)(8)](2) to 1,324 cm(-1) as a medium band for Lu[Pc(MeOPhO)(8)](2) along with the decrease of rare earth ionic size. For Ce[Pc(MeOPhO)(8)](2), a weak band at 1,324 cm(-1) with contribution from pyrrole stretching was the marker IR band of phthalocyanine dianion Pc(2-). In conclusion, all the metal size-dependent IR absorptions should be contributed primarily from the vibrations of pyrrole, isoindole stretching, breathing or deformation or aza stretching of the Pc ring.
