title: Co(II) and Co(III) complexes of m-benziphthalocyanine.
abstract: The syntheses and structural elucidations of three different cobalt complexes of m-benziphthalocyanine are reported; both Co(II) and Co(III) complexes can be generated, and the ring undergoes partial oxidation upon metalation with Co(OAc)2x4H2O.
