Zinc phthalocyanine derivatives containing various ring substituents and axial ligands were studied with respect to the effect of substituents on protonation. Aggregation resulted in failure of some of the ZnPc derivatives to protonate. In fact addition of protonating agents to aggregated ZnPc deriv

β¦ Synopsis
meso-Substituent effect on the redox properties of octaethylporphyrin and its zinc(lI) and copper(I1) complexes are investigated with cyclic volatmmetry. The El/2 values were observed to correlate linearly with Hammett's d, constant for the first and second oxidation reaction and the first reduction reaction in the metallo-OEP series, with e values an order of magnitude larger than that of the TPP series. For the free base OEP series, steric effect has to be taken into consideration when discussing the meso-substituent effect of OEP's in addition to electronic effect. ' Dedicated to the 80th birthday of Professor Wang You Taken in part from the doctoral dissertation of G. W.
