Isolation and Spectroscopic Characterization of Heteroleptic, Anionic and Neutral (Phthalocyaninato)(tetra‐4‐pyridylporphyrinato)lanthanide(III) Double‐Deckers

Abstract
Treatment of 5,10,15,20‐tetra‐4‐pyridylporphyrin [(TPyP)H2] with europium(III) or gadolinium(III) acetylacetonate [Ln(acac)3 · nH2O] (Ln = Eu, Gd) in 1,2,4‐trichlorobenzene produced Ln(acac)(TPyP), which reacted with dilithium phthalocyaninate [Li2(Pc)] to give Li[Ln(Pc)(TPyP)] in moderate yields. Upon exposure to air, solutions of these compounds converted slowly to the corresponding neutral complexes Ln(Pc)(TPyP). The new compounds were spectroscopically characterized.
